Enjoy full access to Xylem’s engineering expertise in water, wastewater and fluid management
Ensure your system is perfectly matched and fine-tuned to meet all specs and requirements
Eliminate the need for in-house installation and project management services to save valuable resources
Manage a single purchase order and single point of contact for ease of doing businesss
Begin the warranty period from date of startup

How it Works

Commissioning and start-up activities are complex and require careful planning to ensure the project’s overall success. To help you maximize efficiency and run at the highest possible performance from day one, our dedicated start-up teams provide everything you need to successfully launch your system.

Preparation & Planning

Together with you and/or your contractor, we complete a thorough pre-startup checklist to ensure readiness.

Mechanical Completion and Integrity Checks

We verify, test, accept and document system performance against system design and all relevant requirements.

Commissioning

From vibration and seismic testing to draw-down, flow and head tests, we confirm the equipment was correctly installed and is capable of performing to approved specifications.

Start-Up and Initial Operation

Working closely with your plant management, operations and maintenance personnel, we ensure a smooth, safe installation and a rapid transition to operational status.

Post-Commissioning Services

We deliver all information collected during the project’s planning, design, and construction, including operations and maintenance manuals, correspondence with the design engineer, and the final start-up report. We also offer on-site training and training videos for future use.

Seamless HDPE Piping Systems Designed to Last

With decades of HDPE pipe fusion expertise in different industries and applications, we provide a complete range of design, engineering and fabrication solutions for even the most challenging piping systems. From specialized fittings, adaptors, and standpipes to the entire pipeline, our certified fusion technicians are trained in all forms of heat fusion techniques and capable of working in demanding field conditions.

Backed by Xylem’s expansive North American branch network, we can deploy the appropriate equipment and HDPE pipe to any job site, and our fleet of portable fusion machines is capable of fusing stocked pipe as small as 4” all the way up to 65”. To ensure your project is completed safely, efficiently and to the highest quality standards, all pipe and fittings are inspected multiple times throughout the fabrication process. We also inspect wall thickness, manufactured angles and cosmetic issues to ensure our work meets your exact specifications.

Benefits of HDPE Pipe:

• Fewer connection points for virtually leak-free performance
• Resistance to corrosion, tuberculation and deposits
• Thick walls designed to handle high pressure applications
• Superior freeze-break resistance
• Durable for any jobsite installation
• Low scrap value reduces the threat of jobsite theft
• A wide range of fitting and joining options

Other HDPE Capabilities:

• In-ditch welds
• Butt fusion
• Extrusion welding
• Socket fusion up to 2”
• Electrofusion
• Double containment
• Hot tapping
