Their service is 1st class!

"In dealing with Independent Pipeline Services we have only ever found them to be 1st Class. They are very professional and offer 1st Class service. They help us out with pressure testing with sewer and water. The knowledge that Stu Potts brings and their experience stands out for us, and this is one of the many reasons we chose to work with them. They are way ahead, not only in knowledge, but also in the gear they use. And as I said the service is 1st Class."

"We chose IPSL because of their prior experience and the work they had undertaken. They are great to work with and have a good work ethic! They work to deadlines and timeframes which is fantastic.

Completely professional in their approach!

"We chose this company because of their reputation and good prior experience. He is one of two that has made the grade to be a service provider with our local Council. Thus far, in our experience with dealing with Stu, it has been a positive experience and a pleasure to deal with. They help us out with pressure testing, and chlorination, as well as sampling for bacteria of approx 15 wellhead conversions (WHSIP). They are completely professional in their approach and have an excellent reporting system."

Barry Hofmeyer | SEIPP Construction Ltd

Great experience & industry knowledge

"We have found working with Independent Pipeline Services to be very good. We have had no issues with them and find them very helpful. They go above and beyond, even helping the guys on site! They help us with chlorination and pressure testing water mains, and Stu has great experience and knowledge of his industry. We found Independent Pipeline Services because of their reputation in the industry. He is a good all round guy."

Nelson | Blakely Construction

They go out of their way to accommodate us!

"We had worked with Stu prior to him going out on his own. He was always diligent to work with and turned out good work. Stu is efficient to work with, works to timeframes and has great communication. He has built up a good rapport with the local body authorities which is helpful. They do our water mains testing and leak detection of this area too. They also do chlorination and bacterial testing. We are impressed how they go out of their way to accommodate our requirements. They have priced a lot of work for us, and recently were willing to spend a lot of time to locate a leak in a water main that benefitted us."

Carl Ryan | Fulton Hogan

Supreme professionals that know the standard

"Stu was recommended to us by Lindsay Wilson (Selwyn Council) as a trusted pipeline tester that could work without Council supervision. We have found Stu well skilled, well priced and flexible in the fact he is an expert in his field but can think outside the square - Stu has helped us out with so many difficult situations. Stu has worked with us on water main pressure testing, leak detection, chlorination, and bacteriological testing - all to council standard.If you think “spray and walk away” - we never have to worry when Stu or his team are looking after us. They are supreme professionals that know the standard, but still understand the importance of getting it right all while keeping stakeholder informed throughout the process."

Sam Paterson | Schick Civil Construction

We can trust Independent Pipeline Services 

"I have worked with Stu on previous projects and found he always produced a good job and he is very good to deal with. I know we can trust Independent Pipeline Services and they always turn up when they say they will. They will often work round other commitments to accommodate us. They help us out with Water Main pressure testing & bacterial testing – this is required before any new water main pipe lines can be connected to an existing Local Authority water main supply. I like the fact that the water main testing they do is independent plus the company is well known and trusted by the Local Authorities we deal with."

Chris Forde | Isaac Construction

He has a great reputation among the industry

"He does a very professional job. He is very thorough and confident in any job he carries out. They help us out with chlorination testing and pressure testing, as well as leak breakdowns among other things. His professionalism and his timeliness are things that stand out about his service. He is council certified and he has a great reputation among the industry."

Colin Hill | Cantab Contracting

A first class subcontractor with a very good reputation!

"Ryan Contractors have worked with Independent Pipeline Services for the past 8 years. We have found them to be a first class subcontractor with a very good reputation among local authorities and engineering consultancies for accurate and timely pipeline testing and verification. We look forward to continuing to work together in the future."

Gerard Ryan | Ryan Contractors Ltd

We don’t use anyone else as they are so efficient!

"They are very good to deal with and very professional. They help us out with testing sewer water lines, chlorinating the water and certifying us.


We don’t use anyone else as they are so efficient and professional. We were referred to them by another contractor and as I said we don’t use anyone else!"

Ronnie Dawe | Dawe Contracting

Gets the job done right!

"Working with Independent Pipeline Services is great. Stu goes out of his way to help you. He is helpful and honest, and we have a long established relationship from when he started. Stu’s willingness to offer advice has seen us through some difficult jobs. He is true to his quote, no extras. They have helped us with testing and dewatering work. Stu’s willingness to help that makes him stand out, and the fact that he has all the equipment needed to get a job done right."

Paddy Spencer | McKay Moore Drainage Ltd

The best pipeline testers!

"IPSL has completed well over 100 pressure tests for us over the past 7 years and every job IPSL has done has been fantastic. They complete all our pipeline pressure testing and chlorination requirements. Word of mouth pointed me to the best pipeline testers in the South Island and over the years I’ve formed a sound working relationship with the owner Stu Potts. The helpfulness of IPSL’s service to our business is outstanding, nothing is a problem to their team"
