2. Work Activity

HYDRO STATIC TEST IN PIPE WORK

Activity Description:
 Prior to the start of the hydro static pressure testing all other works on the system shall have been snagged by construction team and
disengaged and signed off by the quality department.

 All open flanged, valve or screwed ends will be blanked off.

 The fill point will be installed at the lowest point of the system, and a valve vent at the highest point of the system to be tested.
 The vent will be piped to a drain point.

 Pressure gauges with valid calibration certificates/stickers will be fitted adjacent to the pressure pump.

 Pipework will be filled with water sufficiently in advance of the test to allow it to come to room temperature so that any sweating can
evaporate.
 When the systems sufficiently filled the vent valve will be opened and allowed to run freely for a period of 5 minutes to ensure all the air is
out of the system, at that point the valve will be closed.

 When the system is full and vented the test rig will be linked to the system and the pressure increased to the required system test pressure,
as required by the specification 1.5 the operating pressure.

 When the test pressure is reached the valve at the fill point will be closed for a period of 15 minutes to stabilize the system, the gauges will
be checked to see if any pressure loss has occurred due to the stabilization, if so the test rig will be applied to bring the system test
pressure back up to the specification requirements.

 Upon re pressurization the test rig shall than be dismantled from the system.

 Care will be taken at this point to record the ambient room temperature of the start and finish time of the test. The duration of the test will
be 24 hours and temperatures should be recorded frequently.

 A visual inspection of joints will take place during the test period to check for leaks, if any leakage found the test will be aborted. After the
leakage is rectified, the above procedure will be repeated for a re test to take place.

 On satisfactory completion of the test, witnessed by the client, the pressure will be released through the vent pipe. The system then shall
be drained. Pressure testing report shall be prepared and signed by the client or any other concerned party.

Summary of the main hazards and associated control measures (include Environmental and Quality Procedures):

1. Site Clearance & Work Permit: PTW to be issued by Permit issuer and receiver after ensuring control measures are in place. No high-risk activity
will be started without any gaps from control measures. Workmen to be aware about the hazards and related control measures are in place
before start of activity.
2. Vehicle Movement: - Farana, Trailer movement should be in close supervision. Experienced banks man ensures the movement of vehicles.
3. Lifting Tools-Tackles: Ensure all tools & Tackles must be certified & TPI/ colour coding is necessary
4. Hot work: Ensure skilled crew for the job. Area will be defined. Welding Machine connection will be taken through RCCB. Using of fire protection
sheets providing fire extinguisher nearby during hot works.
5. PPEs: Safety helmets, safety shoes, fluorescent jacket & hand gloves shall always be ensured.
6. Housekeeping: -- Good housekeeping must be done before start and end of the day.
7. Working at adverse weather --. No work should be carried in strong wind, heavy rain and heavy hot and humid weathers.
8. Illumination --. Proper lighting arrangement to be provided at dark time.
9. Supervision --Close supervision should be provided by well experienced Engineer & Supervisor.
10. Impact of job to surrounding work area: Access / Road blockage to be taken care.
11. Scaffolding can collapse: Scaffolding should be built by competent scaffolder. After completion of scaffolding it should be inspected by competent
scaffolding inspector. After completion of scaffolding Green tag should be displayed. Workmen are allowed only on Green tag scaffolding.
12. Workmen can fall from scaffolding: Proper railing should be provided in working platform. Workmen should anchor their harness with rigid
structure. Workmen should not work standing on hand rail.
13. Electrical Safety: Male/Female Socket (IP-67) to be used and no cable joint should be there. Inspection to be done for the power tools before
using at site.

Commencement of Activity: Duration of Activity: 30 days
