7.1. PRELIMINARIES
Before the start of work, a pre-operational inspection of the equipment to be used in the activity must be
carried out.
The tightness tests will be carried out once the drain and overflow pipes have been installed, including
accessories, plugs and valves necessary to carry out the tightness tests. Likewise, the pipes must be
finished and clean. The supply of water necessary to carry out the tightness tests must be guaranteed by
ECOPETROL SA in coordination with the Technical Management of the contract.
The leak test must establish a method to detect leaks of approximately 0.1 gal/h or the value agreed with
the Technical Management of the contract.
Identify and demarcate the areas where the Test will be carried out.

Identification and approval of the pipe sections that will undergo hydrostatic testing.
Once the sections of PVC pipe have been approved by the Management, the respective seals will be
installed for testing.
When the pipe is filled with water, an inspection of the tightness of the entire section is carried out. If
there is any problem or leak, the test will be suspended and the applicable corrective measures will be
taken. If there is no abnormality, the test is continued.
An internal guide line must be marked on the pipe to see if the water level drops.
Prepare records of the behavior of the pipe during the test, establishing observation time periods.
Request the Technical Management of the contract to verify and approve the evidence obtained during
this process.
Once the activity has been carried out, the construction site must be left clean.
