1.0 SCOPE OF WORK

The scope of work includes the flushing and pressure testing of fire protection
pipes and auxiliary drainpipes for Passenger Terminal Building (BO 5300).
2.0 QUALITY CONTROL
2.1 Purpose:
A procedural system will be established and maintained to control every work
that will be executed according to the specification and drawing.
2.2 Quality Control Schedule
An approved quality control schedule checklist will be provided for all
particular works being made to ensure compliance to specification (see page
no.3).
2.3 Inspection report during flushing and pressure testing:
A punch list form will be provided while flushing and pressure testing is made.
2.5 Field Test Report:
An inspection test form ill be provided for all testing works being conducted:
1.0 Pressure test report.
2.0 Flushing of pipe test report.

4.0 EXECUTION PROCEDURE:

Sheet reference
No.

4.1.Methodology:
Pressure test Sequence:
Testing is conducted at every floor areas as construction is on
progress, which is then divided into sections.

F-1 & F-8

Sprinkler main risers, stand pipe risers and auxiliary

drainpipe risers are tested repeatedly until the highest level is
reached.
Example:
To test second floor riser has to include ground floor.
To test third floor it has to include second and ground floor,
and then to test upper third floor it still to include ground
floor, second floor and third floor.
Testing procedure for FHC, Horizontal main pipe sprinkler
drop pipe and risers shall be tested in correct order or
sequence (see sheet ref. No. F-8 as numbered)
Flushing Sequence:
Flushing of pipes shall be made after testing is completed.

F-8
F-1

Flushed water will be drained using the auxiliary drainpipe

provided with temporary connection for water disposal.
Standpipe, FHC, sprinkler pipe connections and auxiliary
drain pipes Flushing & Pressure test Procedure:
1.1 Prepare the approved materials.
1-2 Fabricate and install temporary connections.
1-3. Plugged all the sprinkler drop pipes, main pipes, and
main risers. Close all the valves affected by the testing,
this is to isolate the tested pipes from the rest of the
pipes.
1.5 Charge the tested pipe (see designated areas for pressure
pump location) with water until it is full. Inject pressure
using motor pump to not less than 13.3 kg/cm2 for fire
F-2, F-3
pipes and water pressure equivalent to table 1 at sheet
F-4, F-5, F-6
ref. No. F-8 for auxiliary drainpipes.
F-7, F-8
1-6. Let the water pressure stand to not less than 2 hours. The
pressure shall not drop to 5% of the test pressure for
fire pipe and no pressure drop for auxiliary drainpipe.
1-7. Repair and retest the pipe if leakage is found.

Sheet reference
No.

1.8. Reduce the pressure inside the pipe after pressure test
approval.
1.9. Then install pump for flushing at designated
locations.

1.10. Flush the pipe with clean water until no trace of dirt
and foreign matters are found.
1-11.Drain all the water after flushing approval.

F-1, F-2, F-3,

4, F-6, F-7

4.2. Safety Measures:

1. Provision of warning signs for pressure testing
2. Announcements of announcement during morning exercise will be
made.
3. All workers must be in full safety gear during the pressure testing.
4. Orientation and coordination shall be made on testing works.
5. Keep electrical devices away from the test location.
6. Supervisor in charge shall eye every activity in the work areas. A
constant monitoring of water pressure inside the pipe will be made to
avoid spillages and leaks.
