Work preparation

(M-01-01) Scope and Objective of Work:

The purpose of this method statement is to ensure that correct materials are used and agreed
procedures are implemented during fabrication, welding, installation and testing of the pump room
network. This method statement specifies the sequence and methodology to be followed for the
installation and testing of piping to achieve the best quality for installation works.

(M-02) Pumps installation

-  Prior to start of installation it shall be ensured that the shop drawings including
coordination drawings of the respective area are approved.
-  It shall be ensured that the area is released by main contractor to proceed with mechanical
installations.
-  It shall be ensured that all Pumps are as per the approved material submittal and have been
inspected & approved.
-  Ensure that the pump foundation is according to manufacturer’s recommendations and NFPA
standards.
-  Receiving the pumps inside the pump room

Pump installation:

-  Fixing the pumps on its concrete base according to specs and manufacturer’s recommendations 
As follow:
1-  Diesel and electric pumps

FOUNDATION. The foundation for your pump must be sufficiently rigid to absorb any vibration
and stress encountered during pump operation. A raised foundation of concrete is preferable

for most floor mounted pumps. The raised foundation assures a satisfactory base, protects
against flooding, simplifies moisture drainage, and facilitates keeping the area clean.

steelwork wall, or structural member. The mounting bolts or lag screws should be accurately
located per the applicable Fairbanks Nighties dimension sheet. Refer to Fig. 1.

LEVELING THE PUMP. Leveling the pump will require enough shims to support the base plate
near the foundation Anchor and at any points of the base plate carrying a substantial weight

load. The shims should be large enough to allow a gap of 3.5 cm to 5 cm between the base
plate and foundation for grouting.
WARNING: Lifting Hazard
The motor and pump assembly may be very heavy. Use extreme caution and safe lifting
equipment during the lifting procedure. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious personal injury, death or property damage.
IMPORTANT:  The pump base must be set level to avoid any mechanical difficulties with the
pump or motor. The pump was properly aligned, if supplied with a motor, at the factory.
However, since the pump base is flexible, it may spring and twist during shipment. Do not pipe
the pump until it is realigned. Realign the base after piping is completed and after the pump is
grouted in and bolted down. NOTE: It may be necessary to readjust the alignment from time to
time while the unit and foundation are new. Realignment will prevent premature bearing
failure, excessive vibration or shaft failure.
Ensure that proper hydraulic accessories such as pressure relief valves, thermal expansion tanks
and flow/pressure control devices are installed in the system. Consult the responsible party for
your system to ensure these devices are installed and of the prophesize.

GROUTING THE INSTALLATION.  Grouting the base plate prevents lateral movement of the base
plate and improves the vibration absorbing characteristics of the foundation by increasing its
mass. A wooden dam should be constructed around the base plate to contain the grout while it
is being poured. The dam can be built tight against the base
Plate or slightly removed from it as desired. Refer to Fig. 2. The entire base plate should be
completely filled with no shrinkable type grout. The grout should be puddled frequently to
remove any air bubbles from the grout.

ROTATION. Pump rotation is clockwise when viewed from the back of the motor. An arrow is
also located on the pump to show the direction of rotation.
Pump fuel tank: the tank installation will be according the shop drawing detail AS  providing an
adequate fuel supply is very important for reliable operation of the diesel fire pump engine. All
Clarke engine have limits on maximum lift capability of the fuel pump as well as maximum fuel
head. These limits are published on the installation and operation (I&O) data. Exceeding these
limits can cause poor performance, fuel pump failure and lack of fire protection. The I&O data
for each engine gives a minimum size for supply and return fuel line size. Minimum size are
based on the engine and tank being no more than 3.3 m a part. And that the tank is installed
such the maximum fuel head is not exceed.
Diesel Engine Exhaust: the Exhaust installation and dimension will be according Manufacturing
recommendation.

2-  Domestic and Irrigation pumps : the pump will be installed to the Concrete base using
anchor 10*120
