The purpose of this method statement procedure is to define the step by step method to
implement the correct practices for the pre commissioning & commissioning of Water
Booster Jockey Pumps installed for the water supply system, through the guidelines
contained herein so as to ensure that the job execution complies with the project
requirements and serves the intended function to satisfactory level.
Required Tools:
1. Ensure that all the pre commissioning checks are carried out successfully.
2. Open the suction valve & allow water to flow into the pump.
3. Start the pump and record the discharge pressure.
4. Calculate the actual pump performance and plot actual performance curve.
5. Observe leakage from stuffing boxes and adjust the flow for lubrication of packing.
6. Check pumps for overheating by feeling it physically by hand (there is no specific
criteria for checking the overheating of pump).
7. Check for any undue vibration/noise (it is just physical hearing of undue vibration
/ noise during operation).The specification does not call for noise level of pumps
or individual equipment.
8. Check current, voltage & rpm of the motor & record the values.
9. Check & record the expansion vessel pressure setting.
10. The disinfection of water supply system shall be carried out as per the approved
method statement.
11. If the Jockey pump starters are of DOL type the star-delta transformation is not
applicable.
12. The wiring diagram of pump controls & schematic piping shall be displayed near
or inside the control panel.
