Drainage Pressure Test Record

Written from experience on CTRL, Crossrail and Network Rail

This drainage pressure test record documents an air or water test on a gravity drain or sewer to BS EN 1610: the pipe run tested, the method, the equipment used, the readings and the result. There is also space to record re-tests after remedial work.

Why it matters

When the dispute arrives, the question is always: what did you have in place and when? This document is the answer.

What it's for

A drain that leaks can pass every visual check and still fail years later, or fail the test the adopting body or client insists on. A signed test record is the evidence that each run was tested to the specified standard before backfilling and handover, and it is usually one of the first documents a client asks for.

When you need it

After each pipe run has been laid and jointed, and before it is backfilled. Test again if the run is disturbed or repaired, and record each re-test against the original.

Who signs it

The person carrying out the test, and the client or engineer witnessing it.

What's inside

  • Project, test record number, pipe run, drawing reference, diameter, material and length
  • The test method (air or water) and the equipment calibration date
  • An air test section, with the test procedure, pressures, test time and pressure drop
  • A water test section, with test pressure, conditioning time, wetted area and water added
  • Guidance notes pointing to the BS EN 1610 test values to use
  • A pass or fail result, a re-test record and sign-off

FAQ

Should I use an air test or a water test?
Use whichever the specification or adopting body requires. Air tests are quicker. A water test may be required where an air test fails or where the client specifies it.
Where do the test pressures and allowable losses come from?
From BS EN 1610, based on the test procedure and pipe diameter. The record has fields for each value, and notes on where to find them in the standard.
What if the test fails?
Find and fix the leak, then re-test. Record the defect, the remedial work and the re-test result in the re-test table.
What is [TO CONFIRM]?
Details only you know, such as references, names and locations. We never guess these. They appear as highlighted [TO CONFIRM] placeholders, and the inspection record opens with a list of every one. Results, readings, dates and signatures are left blank for completion at the time.
Can I edit the document?
Yes. Both options are Word documents you can edit freely.
Do I still need to review it?
Yes. A competent person must check every document against the actual site and works before it is used. ClarusDocs gives you a complete first draft, not a substitute for that check.
