The MDleak® Testing Method developed by Leak <br /> Detection Technologies is the most versatile and flexible testing method in today's market. Owners <br /> and contactors require quick and accurate results that can only be found by using the MDleak® <br /> testing method. <br /> California requires the industries best available technology to test their Underground Storage Tanks <br /> (UST). These regulations help make California one of the nation's cleanest states from uncontrolled <br /> UST releases. <br /> Standard technologies such as pressure testing cannot detect or locate small leaks to California's <br /> standards. Because small leaks can go undetected MDleak® pretesting should be completed before <br /> the final backfilling process is started. <br /> We have completed a check list of expectation to guide the contractor and help make the site <br /> personnel as successful as possible. <br /> Scheduling: <br /> 1. LDT offer services throughout California. Therefore it is important that you schedule with us <br /> around the time the tank pit excavation begins. <br /> 2. Early scheduling makes for an on time arrival of our crews. <br /> 3. Once we have the site scheduled we will contact the contractor by phone two weeks before <br /> the scheduled arrival date to confirm the starting date and again at one week out. Phone 520- <br /> 2107-4878, Fax 5210-509-3720, or info@LeakDetect.net <br /> Timing: <br /> 1. The State requires the fueling system to be completed before ELD testing can begin. <br /> 2. All finished ground surfaces shall be complete over the underground petroleum components <br /> to be tested <br /> 3. All electrical and communication cabling including, conduit, conduit connections and covers <br /> shall be complete <br /> 4. Spill buckets, fill and vapor adapters, ATG, drop tubes, caps, <br /> 5. Vent risers caped <br /> 6. Ballasted Tanks; LDT can test tanks that are water of product ballasted. LDT must be notified <br /> in advance if the tank/s will be ballasted during the test period. Static ballasted tank do <br /> require additional time to test so when ever possible the contractor should remove all ballast. <br /> Author David Rabb 1 of 2 <br />
