EUSR Hydroststic Pressure Testing Training

EUSR Hydrostatic Pressure Testing Training to WIS 4-01-03 & IS EN 805

Eng Tech Services Water Management Ltd. is an EUSR Approved Training Provider.

Our Training Course "Hydroststic Pressure Testing Training to WIS 4-01-03 & IS EN 805" is an EUSR Endorsed Training Programme.

EUSR Endorsed Training ensures industry-recognised competence, giving teams the skills and knowledge required to work safely and effectively in utility and environmental sectors.

This Training course has been specifically designed for:

• Site / Project Engineers.
• Water Network Engineers. 
• Resident Engineers.
• Clerks of Works. 
• Supervisors / Foremen.
• Experienced Operatives & Testing Technicians. 
• QA / Commissioning Staff. 
• Water Utility Representatives.

This classroom based pressure testing training course develops the knowledge to plan, specify, witness and sign off hydrostatic pressure tests to WIS 4-01-03 (PE / PE-Barrier) and IS EN 805 (non-viscoelastic) on Uisce Éireann projects whilst ensuring testing is carried out safely and correctly on site. Training is essential to ensure the safety of all personnel involved in pressure testing activities.
