Pre-commissioning for Pipelines and Energy Facilities

Pre-commissioning of onshore, offshore, subsea pipelines and process plants is often considered a marginal activity within the pipeline lifecycle. However, for Techfem it is a critical phase to ensure long-term integrity, reliability and operational safety.

Improving the integrity and lifecycle of pipelines and plants

We believe that traditional Pre-commissioning (cleaning pigging, gauging, flooding, hydraulic testing, dewatering, drying, inerting), dry Pre-commissioning (or “system pressure test replacement” using MEG, nitrogen and compressed air), and leak testing (with nitrogen and helium) are fundamental activities for maintaining the integrity and lifecycle of pipelines and plants.

Traditional Pre-commissioning, Dry Pre-commissioning and Leak Testing

Safety—often underestimated in large-scale Pre-commissioning operations—is for us a fundamental element, from the design phase through to execution.
For this reason, we pour our entire engineering knowledge into Pre-commissioning, providing a complete end-to-end service, supported by proprietary equipment and strategic partners.

We have consolidated our expertise to develop a control software that manages all phases of Pre-commissioning.
This tool allows us to perform predictive calculations for each operational step and, through cloud integration during field activities, overlay them in real time with actual measured data to produce a planned vs. actual graph.

Our activities extend not only across Europe but also worldwide, adapting to the specific needs of our clients in the pipeline and energy sectors.
