7. INSTALLATION
 Off-loading:
1. Use Mobile Crane to off-load the Generator Sets. Capacity of crane
shall be capable to carry the weight of the generator set. All safety
 precaution shall be adhered during off loading.
2. Ensure the safety of equipments and workers.
3. Off load the Generator sets on the designated off loading area. Make
sure that the Generator Set will seat on pipe rollers or wooden flanks.
4. If the Generator Room is not ready for generator set installation, proper
protection of Generator set shall be provided and cover it with
tarpaulin.
 Pre-Installation
1. All materials and documentation relevant to this particular section of
works shall be checked prior to the installation.
2. Make sure that the plinth is completed and painted and ready for final
installation of equipment.
3. Make sure that the generator room is clear and free of debris and
foreign materials.
4. Ensure that the access for generator set installation is free from
obstructions.
5. Make sure that supporting flanks, pipe rollers, chain blocks, hydraulic
jacks and other tools required for installation are in place.
 Installation
 It has been presumed that the Generator Rooms are ready for
permanent installation of the Generator Set.
1. Lift the Generator using mobile crane or portable hydraulic crocodile
jack. Place pipe rollers under the generator skid. Make sure that the
pipe rollers are properly set.
2. Once the generator set will sit on the pipe rollers, push in / pull in the
generator set inside the room. If required, use chain block to pull the
generator set. Make sure that the chain block is properly anchored and
properly set to the direction of generator position.
3. Where in a generator set crosses a trench or unequal elevation, use
steel channels or I- beams to support the pipe rollers. Make sure that
the steel channels or I-beams are properly supported to carry the
weight of the Generator set.
4. Set the Generator set in proper location. Lift the Generator set using
portable crocodile hydraulic jack and let it sit on elevated flanks or I-
beams.
5. Fix the spring vibration isolator. Ensure that it is fixed and aligned
properly.
6. Lift the Generator set and install the spring vibration isolator. Bolt and
tight properly the Generator base on to the spring vibration isolators.
7. Associated work related to the Generator set such as generator
exhaust system, fuel system, acoustic lining etc, will commence.
8. After completing all associated works related to the Generator set,
raise a Request for Inspection for Generator Installation.
8. FIXATION
 Inspection, testing and commissioning:
