Milbar Hydro-Test was incorporated in
July of 1976 and began operations under its new name in January of 1977
as successor to Williams Pressure Service Company. Since its incorporation,
Milbar has tested over 100,000 miles of cross-country and
international pipeline. In terms of equipment and experienced personnel,
Milbar is the largest hydrostatic testing contractor in the world. We are
capable of carrying out fifteen hydrostatic tests at any one time, offering
the fastest turn around of any hydrostatic testing operation.
Our operations are based out of Shreveport, Louisiana; Calgary,
Canada; and Houston, Texas. Milbar has completed testing projects
throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, Panama, Asia
and The Ivory Coast. Projects have ranged from 798 miles of 48-inch to a
few feet of 2-inch. Typical services offered by Milbar involve the cleaning,
testing, dewatering and drying of pipelines across the country. Maintaining
such an extensive inventory of equipment and having the personnel to operate
it enables us to mobilize testing crews anywhere in the world at a moment's
notice.
After the completion of each project, Milbar provides certified test reports
and all other pertinent information as evidence that the pipe has been tested
according to company specifications and in agreement with federal regulations.Milbar
also offers its services for pipeline projects involving chemical cleaning,
rehabilitation and conversion. Although new pipelines are continually being
built, emphasis on the conversion andrehabilitation of existing lines is
of great interest not only economically but also environmentally.
As a leader
in the hydrostatic testing industry, Milbar's experience in pigging operations
and fluid management allows them to provide state of the art services for
a growing market.In addition to field operations, Milbar has assisted most
major pipeline companies with the planning of their hydrostatic testing
programs. Including identifying test section limits, selection and testing
of water sources, development of equipment requirements, material requirements,
specifications and identification of the elements of testing which critically
interfere with other operations.
Some of Milbar's major achievements are the completion of technical assistance
and supervision contracts for the hydrostatic testing of both the Trans-Alaskan
Pipeline System and Mexico's Cactus-Monterrey gas pipeline. Each of these
projects involved approximately 800 miles of 48-inch pipeline. In addition
to these pipeline projects, Milbar has provided technical assistance and
testing services for nearly every major pipeline system in the United States.
