METHOD STATEMENT M 01

UNDER GROUND DRAINAGE PIPE WORK

1.0

Purpose
To define the method of installation of underground pipe work.

2.0

Scope
This method is applicable for drainage pipe work below ground.

3.0

Method
3.1

Preparation Work
3.1.1 Check the trench route to be made to ensure that the pipes
to be installed are as indicated on approved construction
drawings.
3.1.2 Check the materials to be used are as per the approved
make.
3.1.3 Levelling of ground before excavation to be done by the
main contractor.
3.1.4 Excavate the trench as per the route marked on approved
drawing. The trench bed must be compacted smooth and
must be free from foreign particles
3.1.5 Check whether the inside portion of pipe is properly cleaned
before installation / fit up.
3.1.6 Place concrete blocks at standard distance to support the
Pipes.
3.1.7 Lay the pipes as per the invert levels & slope mentioned in
the approved layout with proper supports, using the water
level & measuring tape with respect to the benchmark level.

Purpose
This method of statement is to define the installation of Pipe work at high level.

2.0

Scope
This method of statement is applicable for installation of Pipe works at high level
for drainage pipe works.

3.0

Installation Procedure
3.1.1 Installation of pipes
3.1.2 Mark out the location of hanger thread rods for pipe installation
as per the approved construction drawing.
3.1.3 Drill the marked position for hangers and supports by using the drill bit
of appropriate size.

will improve the strength and load bearing capacity of threaded rod.
3.1.8 After cutting the pipes in the required length, both ends should be
chamfered properly to remove the unevenness and surface is made
rough using sand paper for length of 3 cm (approx) for good adhesive
surface preparations.
3.1.9

Install the pipe in position as per the approved layout and make the
end connection of pipes as standard specification for each service.

3.1.10 After completion of pipe end connection, fix / tight the support clamps
properly to make the pipe straight and level as per the layout.
3.1.11 Check the levels of pipe work with spirit levels and measuring tape.

INSTALLATION OF FIRE HOSE REEL PUMP

1.0

Purpose
To define the method of installation and operation of fire hose reel pump.

2.0

Scope
This method is applicable for installation and operation of fire hose reel pump.

3.0

Method
3.1

Check the foundation is ready as indicated on approved

Construction drawing.

3.2

Check the level of suction pipe line is to be below the level of

pump(suction header)

3.3

Check whether the required piping and valves are installed properly

3.4

Make sure that electrical panel for the pump is given correct power
Supply with protection.

3.5

Load the pump on a strong foundation. Use the expansion bolts to the
base frame to the concrete foundation. The surface of the foundation
should be smooth and level. Ensure easy access to the unit from all sides
for maintenance and services.

3.6

Pump set is accurately aligned in the factory before dispatch. However it is

essential to recheck the alignment at site after fixing pump set on the site.

3.7

The pump set should be located near to the suction reservoir.

3.8

Fix the gate valves non return valves vibration protected flexible connector
etc and suction discharge manifolds as shown on the dawning.

3.9

Connect the suction and discharge line to the manifold .check whether all
joints are straight.

3.10

Fix the pressure switch and pressure gauge on the discharge header.

3.11

Fill the water in the pump and suction line through the priming valve and
remove all the air blocks.

3.12

Interconnecting wiring between the panel and motor diesel engine

pressure switches float switches for dry run protection etc should be done.
KANDY CONSTRUCTIONS

Page 16

Panel, motors pressure switches and float switches must be grounded

with suitable wires.

4.0

3.13

Do the wiring from electrical supply source to the pump control panel.

3.14

Do the necessary piping between the fuel tank and diesel tank.

3.15

After installation has been completed an operational test has to be

conducted to ensure the proper operation of the pump set.

3.16

Keep starting point of electrical pump slightly higher than the starting point
of diesel pump. Keep starting point of jockey pump is slightly higher than
starting point of electrical pump.
