Built for the pressure your assets face

Empire Oilfield Solutions fields dedicated pressure testing crews equipped with calibrated, CSA-certified test units capable of handling everything from small-bore instrument lines to high-pressure wellhead assemblies. Every test is executed by trained technicians, documented in real time, and handed over with a fully certified test package

Whether you’re commissioning a new pipeline segment, performing turnaround integrity checks, or responding to a regulatory requirement, our teams mobilize fast — often within 4 hours — with the equipment and expertise to get you through without delays.

Complete pressure testing capabilities

Hydrostatic Pressure Testing

Water-based pressure tests for pipelines, vessels, and tanks. Suitable for high-pressure applications up to 15,000 PSI. Full documentation and CAN/CSA-Z245 compliance.

Well Sites & Completions

Air or nitrogen-based testing for systems where water ingress is unacceptable. Soap-bubble and electronic leak detection available. Intrinsically safe procedures.

Pipeline Pre-Commissioning

Full pre-commissioning sequences including pigging, dewatering, gauging, and pressure testing. Ready-for-service handover packages issued same day.

Vessel & Equipment Integrity

Pressure vessels, heat exchangers, separators, and production equipment. ABSA permit coordination and registered inspection services available.

Wellhead & BOP Testing

Full wellhead assembly pressure tests, BOP stack testing, and casing tests. Compliant with AER Directive 036. Pressure charts retained for regulatory submission.

Turnaround Pressure Services

Planned turnaround pressure testing integrated with your maintenance schedule. Multi-crew deployments available for large-scope facilities. Priority mobilization guaranteed.

From call-out to certification

01
Scope & Mobilization
You call us — day or night. We confirm the test pressure, medium, line size, hold duration, and regulatory standard required. Our nearest crew and unit are dispatched within hours.
02
Isolation & Connection
The system is isolated per our written test procedure. All pressure gauges are calibrated and positioned. Temporary blinds, spectacles, and connections installed to spec.
03
Pressurization & Hold
Pressure is raised in controlled stages per ASME or AER requirements. Full hold time observed with continuous chart recording and technician monitoring. Any anomaly is immediately flagged and documented.
04
Controlled Blowdown
Pressure is safely vented per established procedures. Blinds removed, connections broken, and the system restored to operational status — or handed to the next maintenance task.
05
Certification & Package
A complete test package — pressure charts, gauge certificates, test procedure, technician sign-off, and pass/fail determination — is issued on the same day. Sent digitally within the hour.

Every test is a life-safety critical operation

Pressure testing is inherently hazardous. Empire enforces strict exclusion zones, pre-job hazard assessments, written test procedures, and dual-technician oversight on every job — regardless of scope or duration.

Empire mobilized a pressure testing crew to our Swan Hills facility within 5 hours of our call. The test package was in my inbox before end of shift. That’s the kind of reliability we need in turnaround season
