© PVC nitrile rubber insulation (such as Armafiex) shall not be used
exposed to sunlight.
‘+ Piping insulation shall be applied only where the Pressure test and other
inspections required are completed.
* Before insulation, all surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned to remove slag,
rust, grease, etc. Insulation shall be applied only on dry surface.
* Insulation installed outdoors shall be protected from moisture and sunlight
degradation by 0.5mm aluminum jacket or an approved and acceptable
method.
* Outdoor insulated piping shall be finished with aluminum sheet 0.5
thicknesses, and all seams and joints shall be caulked.
Safety Action Plan
‘+ The installation works shall always be carried out in a safe manner, with
all site personnel, staff and labor, fully adopting the project safety
Procedures.
* Tool Box talk will be conducted and brief safety measures required for the
Ensuring days will be discussed.
* First Aid facility will be available entire the period in the work site. Correct
PPE and Safety precautions requirement will be taken for the entire
Works.
* Safety Hamess will be used whenever work is carried out on the above
grade elevations. Area shall be barricaded and warning boards will
displayed.ja ‘

‘This vacuum drying s performed only when dere may be moisture intruded into the piping.
For exemple:
‘© Moisture was detected when flushing rofigerant piping.
‘© There may be condensation in piping because ofa construction work in rely season.
‘© There may be condensation in piping because of longterm construetion work
‘© Rainwater may intrude into the piping during contruction.
