8. PROCEDURE
8.1. Preparation Work
Before commencing the testing and commissioning of calorifier the following shall be carried out:-
1. Preparation.
2. Make sure that all the installation has been carried out by trained technicians and according to the
approved shop drawing by the engineers.
3. Make sure that the electrical connection is done / tested and approved by the electrical engineer.
4. Make sure that the tank is completely filled with water and any trapped air has been bled off.
5. Make sure that temperature and pressure relief valve installed and the related piping is connected to
the drain point.
6. While we are filling the tank with water the nearest hot water tap should be open to make sure that
we are releasing the air from the tank, we will watch the water flow from this tap until continuous
flow of water achieved which meaning the tank is fully purged from air.
7. Make sure that the cold water supply feeding the tank will be kept open even the clarifier tank is full
to be always on the safe side that heating elements immersed into water.
8. The temperature and pressure release valve shall be opened manually and keep discharging the water
until we get a continuous water flow without pebbles.
9. Open the electrical control panel and set the thermostat to the set temperature(82°C)
10. Carefully check the tank, pipe and fittings for any sign of water leak. Immediately repair as needed.
Open the access door to the immersion heating elements and check for leaks at the element mounting
flanges if any leak is detected, tighten the screw in element.

8.2. Start Up
1. Turn on the power supply from the main control panel.
2. As the water heater starts heating check the contactors for “buzzing” or “Chattering” during operation,
if noise is detected, turn off the main power, open the control panel and clean the contact points of
the magnetic contactor. Remove any dust, dirt or foreign matter that may have found its way into the
contactor or other electrical components in the control panel.
3. Allow the water heater to heat for approximately thirty minutes.
4. Turn off the main electrical power to the water heater.
5. Open the electrical control panel door and feel each wire connection and fuse clip for excessive
temperature. If any connection is found to be excessively hot, check all factory
6. Internal wiring connections and the field made power connections for tightness.
7. After completing point (5) close the control panel and turn on the power supply for the water heater
8. Temperature control and contactor operation should be checked by allowing the water heater to
come up to the setting temperature and shut off automatically.
9. The water heater is now read for continuous normal operation.

8.3. Inspection
Inspection requests shall be raised to the consultant and to be conducted in presence of main contractor.

9. HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

9.1. General
Site general safety procedures will be followed. In case of emergency the Safety Officer will stop the work; he
will put into action the emergency arrangements and report to assembly points as indicated during Site
Induction Course.
Fire Precautions: No significant fire risk associated with this activity but general fire prevention measures will
be taken as per project HSE plan.

9.2. Communication
Communication from work areas to Site Office via mobile phones issued to senior foremen. In emergency
situations the users of hand-held 2-way radios to be notified if deemed that this can speed up notification of
relevant personnel and/or the Site Clinic.

9.3. Hazards / Risks

Relevant Risk Assessments:
1. Hand Tools
2. Ladder and Stepladders
3. Disposals of Waste Materials
Environmental Considerations: After the finalization of the works the working area should be cleaned from any
scrap materials related to the performed work.
Working places will be cleaned from the scarp materials derived from their work ensuring clean and healthy
work environment as well as to maintain free access and egress in the event of emergency.

9.4. Health and Safety Hazards

1. Implementation of Health & Safety mechanisms and checks as per Contract Agreement. The
responsible Safety Officer for each building will conduct routine safety inspections.
2. Good housekeeping must be maintained throughout the execution of work.
3. The work location must be gas free and precautions must be taken to prevent ignition of flammable
materials.
4. Only qualified personnel will be deployed to perform the work.
5. All personnel protection equipment’s (PPE) shall be worn during the work. The generally used PPE are
Coverall, Safety shoes, Hard Hat, Safety glasses, dust mask and Hand gloves.
6. Material Safety Data Sheets for the materials used shall be followed.
7. Safety Lighting.
8. Safety lights will be used in case of power failure ensuring the good illumination of the working area
for safe evacuation of the site.
9. Task Lighting.
10. Adequate lighting will be provided ensuring the good illumination of the working area. Task lighting
will be connected to the nearest site distribution board which is RCD protected.
