General Background Quality control systems play a critical role in engineering and construction sectors to maintain safety standards in utility infrastructure development. Specific Background The installation of Polyethylene (PE) 63 pipes at PT Panca Indah Jayamahe requires stringent verification processes to prevent joint leaks and ensure safety within household gas distribution networks. Knowledge Gap Field conditions and jointing imperfections present potential operational risks that require systematic evaluation to guarantee pipeline integrity and compliance with national standards. Aims This study analyzes the quality control system implemented during PE 63 pipe installation and evaluates the effectiveness of the pneumatic test method in detecting leaks and ensuring network reliability. Results Field findings indicate that all installation stages—from material preparation, trenching, and electrofusion jointing to backfilling—conform strictly to company protocols and standards established by PT Perusahaan Gas Negara, with pneumatic testing at pressures ranging from 3 to 6 bar confirming zero leakage. Novelty This work provides an empirical evaluation of pneumatic testing applications within local urban gas distribution construction projects in Surabaya. Implications Implementing rigorous quality control procedures through pneumatic testing effectively guarantees structural reliability, operational safety, and regulatory compliance for natural gas distribution networks.
KEY FINDINGS HIGHLIGHTS
-
All pipeline installation stages strictly adhere to standard procedures set by PT Perusahaan Gas Negara.
-
Pneumatic testing at pressures between 3 and 6 bar successfully confirms that pipe bodies and joints remain entirely free of leaks.
-
The quality control workflow effectively ensures the safety and reliability of urban gas distribution networks.
