Hydrant System Leak Detection Testing With The Most Sensitive Test Available

Airport hydrant fuel distribution systems are the backbone of up to 90% of large airports and 60% of medium airports today. Making system integrity and reliability one of the most important issues of any airport. Environmental impact of fuel releases from hydrant systems are far greater than fuel truck delivery systems because the leaks are not immediately visible and can occur over a very long period of time. New regulations introduced in 2015 by the EPA are now requiring testing of these systems. 

For hydrant system leak detection, we use our trademarked PHDleak® (Pipeline Hydrostatic Diagnostic) testing method. 

Here’s why PHDleak® is the best pipeline testing method on the market:

• Most sensitive. We have the most sensitive testing method available. We test leaks at a .00017 sensitivity level. Our competitors use a .0002 sensitivity level.
• Largest volume. PHDleak® can test pipeline sections of 1.2 million gallons – that’s six times larger than what our competitors can do.

In addition to the standard pass/fail test results, we also offer a PHD Pipeline Health Report that informs owners and engineers about the condition of their pipeline. Our report offers recommendations on preventative maintenance and repairs so you can determine where to spend your maintenance dollars.
