agree  neilmac: In general, yes, but I think "agua, energía eléctrica, gas" merits a mention of these services (utilities).

(utility) installation trials


Explanation:
= testing, trials runs of the utility installations.
"The term utilities can also refer to the set of services provided by these organizations consumed by the public: electricity, natural gas, water, sewage, telephone, and transportation. Broadband internet services (both fixed-line and mobile) are increasingly being included within the definition"

Or, if you prefer, "testing of the facilities":
"The testing of the facilities took place over the following three weeks and the site was delivered to OILCO immediately after testing."

Typo alert: That should read "trial runs". Mea culpa. Still no edit button for kudoz.

"Deputy Chief Minister M.K. Stalin inaugurated the trial run of the facilities, including a 38 km-long pipeline to convey the treated water to the city,"

NB: Re: "field testing". I tend to associate field testing with machinery, rather than the utility installations such as water, electrical supplies and gas mentioned in the sample text provided.
Field test
verb
gerund or present participle: field-testing
test (a product or device) in the environment in which it is to be used.

Example sentence(s):
  • We specialise in multi utility installations. Whether you require utility connections, disconnections or diversions...
