1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this statement is a guideline for Flushing Work for the ““CADANGAN
MEMBINA SEBUAH PUSAT PERUBATAN DAN FAKULTI PERUBATAN UCSI
UNIVERSITI DI ATAS SEBAHAGIAN LOT 8317, BANDAR SPRINGHILL, MUKIM
JIMAH, DAERAH PORT DICKSON, NEGERI SEMBILAN DARUL KHUSUS.”
SUPPLY, INSTALLATION, TESTING AND COMMISSIOING OF AIR CONDITIONING
AND MECHANICAL VENTILATION SERVICES.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

Generally, the following work on the chilled water pipe can be divided into three parts:
a) Flushing of underground chilled water pipes.
b) Flushing of chilled water pipe in chiller plant room.
c) Flushing of chilled water pipe of main hospital block.
The flushing work shall start from underground chilled water pipe and follow by chilled water
pipe in chiller plant room and finally chilled water pipe in main hospital block.

The flushing work consists of the following processes:

a) Dynamic flushing
b) Chemical flushing
c) Initial Water Treatment

3.0 PREPARATION
Before the flushing work is carried out, the following points shall be considered:
3.1 Installation Check
Prior to commence the flushing work, a thorough inspection shall be carried out on
the pipe works, fittings and plants to ensure the entire system is water tight. All the
isolating valves to other pipe sections besides the flushing section shall be close to
avoid accidental cross contamination between systems.
3.2 Sampling Points
Sampling points shall be taken from the chilled water pipe line.
3.3 Filter
The filters shall be placed in the flushing tank to trap the foreign material in the
pipeline during flushing.

4.0 CHILLED WATER PIPE FLUSHING WORK PROCEDURE

4.1 Process 1
1) Before starting the water flushing, all the ends of the pipe line are ensured to be
connected to each other. Water shall be filled into the system. The isolation
valves of chiller plant room pipeline and main hospital block pipeline shall be
close and ensure that the water of underground pipeline does not mix with other
pipeline.
2) Check and confirm that the water circulates in the entire pipeline.
3) The water filter shall be replaced with new filter if necessary.
4) The flushing shall be continue until the water is deemed fit to be analysed by
Resident Engineer.
5) If the water analysis result is not contouring to the conditions in parameter A,
continue circulation and draining.
6) After Parameter A is achieved for underground pipeline, isolate the underground
pipeline and flush the pipeline in chiller plant room follow by pipeline in main
hospital block. Repeat step 1 to step 5.
4.2 Process 2
1) When parameter A is achieved for underground pipe, chiller plant room and main
hospital block pipeline, dose in chemical A and allow circulation to be on for
minimum 12 hours to achieve Parameter B.
2) If the water analysis result is not contouring to the conditions in Parameter B,
continue circulation.
3) Proceed to Process 3 when Parameter B is achieved.
4.3 Process 3
1) Once the chemical flushing is completed, the water treatment process shall be
commenced. Chemical B shall be dosed into the system and circulate for
minimum of 12 hours.
2) During the period, the water samples shall be taken and monitored. The
chemical reserves and all parameters are ensured to be within control limits
stipulated in Parameter C.
3) When Parameter C is achieved, the pipeline shall be reconnected as close loop.

5.0 Chemical
5.1 Chemical A
JCT A-491, is a surfactant agent and functions as the oil and grease remover
agent during initial chemical flushing.

5.2 Chemical B
JCT L-111, is nitrate and azole treatment technology which functions as the
corrosion inhibitor during water treatment.

8.0 SAFETY

8.1 Personal Protective Equipment

i. Prior to work commencing all plant and equipment to be used will be inspected
and confirmed for used by contractor’s safety representative.
ii. Tool Box Meeting shall be conducted on a monthly basis.
iii. Safety briefing shall be conducted prior to the actual work.
