Specialist Pipeline Engineering for Critical Infrastructure
MTS Contracting Ltd provides specialist engineering support for gas, water and pipeline infrastructure across the UK—from installation and live-network intervention to testing, commissioning, maintenance and emergency response.
MTS Contracting Ltd
Engineering solutions shaped around the network
MTS Contracting Ltd brings together experienced technicians, specialist equipment and trusted delivery partners to solve demanding pipeline challenges. We support network owners, principal contractors and delivery teams with practical engineering advice and competent site delivery across planned works, shutdowns and urgent requirements.
Our service extends across the pipeline lifecycle—from PE and steel installation through specialist connections, flow stopping and pressure testing to commissioning, inspection, repair and asset maintenance.
WHAT WE DO
Core pipeline services
Practical, technically informed support from installation through to intervention, testing and handover.
Pressure Testing
Hydrostatic, pneumatic and APT pressure testing, including monitoring, temperature compensation, reporting and commissioning support.
Connections & Under Pressure Drillings
Hot tapping, drilling, bolted or welded tees, valves and permanent branch connections with minimal interruption to the live system.
Flow Stopping
Squeeze-off, stopple, bag-off and specialist line-stopping arrangements selected around material, diameter, pressure and site conditions.
Pipework Installation & Commissioning
PRS Gas Control Equipment & Maintenance
Supply, installation, commissioning, modification and planned maintenance of pressure-control and metering assets.
Monitoring, coatings, cathodic-protection support, repairs, shutdowns and condition-focused maintenance.
PE and steel main laying, butt fusion, electrofusion, large-diameter couplers, branch saddles and specialist tie-ins
Network commissioning and decommissioning, direct or vacuum purging, test coordination and handover support.
Emergency Response
Rapid support for third-party damage, system failures, squeeze-off, bypasses, vents and specialist partner operations.
CCTV Inspection
Pipeline CCTV inspections
Earlier evidence.
Better temperature compensation.
Auditable results.
APT pneumatic testing uses acoustic temperature measurement to determine average temperature changes in the air inside a pipeline. The test software combines this information with pressure data and creep compensation to help distinguish temperature effects from leakage during large-volume pressure tests.
-
Earlier leak discrimination
-
Digital auditable test records
-
Automatic test-certificate generation
-
Reduced conditioning and overall test time where applicable
Specialist support when network continuity matters
MTS Contracting Ltd supports emergency works arising from third-party damage and system failure. In-house capability includes PE squeeze-off and stocked 7 bar IP materials for pressure points, bypasses and vents.
