Commissioning

We have both in-house experience and a range of independent partners with specific expertise in pressure testing, flushing and cleaning district heating and cooling networks to BSRIA BG29 standards.

On many of the projects we are contracted to install, we also undertake the testing and commissioning in line with the standard specified for each individual project.

To commission a system and achieve BSRIA BG29 standard, the development of a detailed commissioning plan is essential. At PPSL we review all elements of the project from design through to ongoing maintenance to ensure the commissioning process meets the requirements of each project. We do not operate a one solution fits all approach.

Given flushing typically takes place in the final six to ten weeks, a project delay could impact “Heat On” dates making it even more important an experienced contractor is utilised for this part of the project.

When a network won’t be live within six months of install, we also recommend and undertake purging with nitrogen to ensure the network does not corrode while it awaits completion.

PPSL also offer dry pigging and ice pigging for larger diameter pipes over 250mm where achieving BSRIA velocities are typically not practical. Please get in touch for more information.

Company Reviews

Thank you for your positive & pro active approach at UOE School of Engineering. We have all been very impressed with your team & the installation. You both went over & above expectation to ensure the works were completed in very difficult circumstances, It was very much appreciated. We will be quick to contact you with any future district heating projects.

We have recently used PPSL for connecting existing housing to our heat network and their professionalism and dedication throughout the project has ensured that the project has ran smoothly, even when inevitable bumps in the road as there are with any construction projects. PPSL have a detailed and focussed approach to work, across all areas of the project, whether this is financially, health and safety or in the planning stages. They have kept open and clear lines of communication, whether face to face, via email or phone, the whole project team have been kept up to date with progress and any issues have been raised immediately, with PPSL working with the project team in a solutions focussed way to ensure the best outcome for all involved.

I am delighted to say, every single one of the homes visited had ONLY good things to say about the work we as the council have done regarding the heating, and the gangs who have done the below ground. Helpful, informative, conscientious, and a good laugh were just some of the words used to describe the project members from PPSL. I think an all-round well done to your teams for what they have achieved!

The engagement work that everyone involved in the project has done has made all the difference to the success so far and the satisfaction of the residents, which is one of the keys to us unlocking the larger projects. Thank you again to everyone at PPSL. Your hard work is paying off and is making a big difference to everyone involved in this project.

Ben at PPSL leads the entire operation with a big-hearted approach that cascades throughout the PPSL team. It is obvious that there is a genuine desire by those who work at PPSL to deliver quality for their customers and to ensure every project is delivered to a standard that they are proud of.
