SERVICES HYDRO TESTING (TANKS AND PIPING SYSTEMS)
We specialize in the design, set-up, management and operations of test water supply systems required
for the hydrostatic testing of API 650, 620 and 653 storage tanks, AWWA storage tanks, pipelines and
ASME pressure vessels.
We have over 100 years of combined experience in the water management and hydro testing markets
throughout Canada, and have processes and procedures of the highest quality to support our clients'
specific needs and conditions. We have operational capability year-round and can operate in extreme
cold weather with our specialized heating equipment and comprehensive cold weather operating
procedures. We are also able to operate in remote and environmentally sensitive locations given our
methodical processes, and procedures that reduce environmental impact and meet federal waterway
compliances.
The last step in our services is to supply a professionally assembled turn over package with detailed
information required for the applicable regulatory body or utility commission granting the fit for service
authorization.
We perform all test services
covering the entire spectrum from
the sourcing of any crossing
agreements on public and private
land, diversion licensing from
applicable regulatory bodies,
permanent or temporary water
pumping systems, particulate
filtration, water sampling and code
specific functional test of the
storage tank completed to
applicable construction code or
standard.

This hydrostatic test is not only performed for leak detection, but is also intended to provide theclient
a full operational test environment for such things as foundation settlement, rolling ladder
operational check or a floating roof pontoon leak test and operational run through. Our skilled
technicians and project managers are trained to support all elements of the test procedures in a safe
and professional manner.
We also support hydrostatic tests required for other products such as pipelines, spheres and ASME
(American Society of Manufacturing Engineers) Division 1 or Division 2 pressure vessels. This integrity
test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid and pressurizing the item to a specific test
pressure.
RIVER AND CREEK DIVERSION / BYPASS PUMPING DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT
Our process starts with a comprehensive review of the site location, terrain and water services required.
Then Our engineering design team provides a comprehensive "Diversion Plan" or “Bypass Pumping Plan"
with a job specific summary, providing all the project specific details. These plans consider the river or
creek flow, ground water conditions, water table levels and if required filtration and disposal locations.
Department of Fisheries and Oceans-approved suction assemblies, and flexible and adaptable solutions
for any terrain we may encounter.
The Pumping plan provides
both primary & standby

with supporting topographical
equipment locations as well as
detailed AutoCAD drawing
showing the plan pictorially.
The NCS team works closely
with our clients and all

When severe weather patterns lead
to extremely wet and rainy
conditions, lease pads and
retention ponds are at risk of
overflowing and spilling untested
water into the environment. We
offer design services to assist in
temporary and permanent systems
in preparation for these
circumstances and offer complete
pre-designed pumping systems
that can be deployed rapidly to
mitigate these risks.
When the water being handled in a
water management system
requires filtering, our micro-
filtration equipment effectively
removes particulates to
accommodate environmental
regulations. Filtration systems can
be employed in any situation where
the water being handled is required
to meet municipal, provincial or
federal regulatory requirements,
including emergency situations.

LONG-TERM WATER TRANSFER
For clients with long-term water transfer or dewatering projects, we offer a wide range of pumps, hoses &
piping systems.
WELLPOINTING / SANDPOINT DEWATERING
Our experienced water transfer
technicians also provide valuable
assistance throughout your
project assessing your equipment
requirements adjusting any
changing condition.
When excavations are required to
extend beyond the ground water table,
site dewatering systems are required.
For shallow excavations, singlestage
wellpoint dewatering systems are often
the most efficient method to achieve an
adequate draw down. For deeper
excavations, a second stage can be
installed or a deep well system
employed. NCS reviews the geotechnical
report, works with the environmental
consultant, and offers a comprehensive
dewatering package that includes a
dewatering plan, multistage filtration
and groundwater monitoring.
