1. Purpose:
The purpose of generating this Method Statement is to describe the procedure to implement the
correct practices for Installation and Testing & Commissioning of Fire Pump System works to ensure
that all operations complies with the requirements of project specification for Hili commercial
Building Project ,Sector No.06,Plot No.02-06-022-6, Al Ain. It also outline the safety, quality and
other related procedure to be followed when performing such works and presents systematic and
sequential instructions to be implemented by construction crew.
2. Scope:

• Lift the pump and lower slowly into the sump, using the lifting lugs on the discharge
head. Hand guide the pump as it lowered and watch for any obstruction or binding of
the pump, which can be felt through the hands
• Rotate pump until discharge flange faces proper direction for alignment with piping
and align anchor bolt holes.
• Slowly lower pump onto the foundation.
• Install anchor bolts or nuts, but do not tighten.
• Pipe from discharge shifting the pump slightly on the foundation if required to facilitate
alignment.
• Tighten discharge flange bolting- be sure the flange mate without forcing.
• Tighten anchor bolting.
1.1.5 PIPING & CONNECTIONS
1.1.5.1 SUCTION PIPING
• A vertical pump in a suction barrel performs properly only if it is supplied with a steady
flow of liquid with a uniform velocity profile and with sufficient pressure to provide
adequate NPSH to the pump.
• Failure of the suction piping to deliver the liquid to the pump in this condition can lead
to noisy operation, swirling of liquid around the suspended pump assembly, premature
bearing failure and cavitation damage to the impeller and inlet portions of the casing.
Page 8 of 18
• Vertical line-shaft pumps are automatically aligned through registered fits between
mating parts. However, we recommend checking the alignment of the head shaft to the
driver at the time of final installation.
• After the grout has set and the foundation bolts have been properly tightened, the unit
alignment should be checked.
• After the discharge piping of the unit has been connected, the alignment should be
checked again. Alignment may be checked by mounting a dial indicator to measure shaft
movement before and after tightening flange bolts. If the unit does not stay in alignment
after being properly installed, the following are possible causes:
• Setting, seasoning or springing of the foundation
• Excessive pipe strain distorting or shifting the machine.

• Check control fuses in control panel are in working condition
• Check pressure switch is wired to control panel.
• Check the shaft alignment between pump and motor
• Turn ON isolator and check the incoming power supply voltage matching the controller
specification; check the control circuit is energized.
• Check panel lights in working condition.
• Press the START button and STOP button simultaneously. Motor start rotating, check
the rotation is correct, and change if it is wrong.
• Press the START button again and check the following parameters and ensure all within
the limits.
Motor RPM
Voltage
Amps
• Release water through test valve, motor will start when the pressure drops below cut-
in pressure and stop when pressure reach above cut-out pressure and expiration of run
period time.

• The fire pumps as installed shall the performance as indicated on the manufacturers
certified shop test characteristic curves within the accuracy limits of the test
equipment.
• Start the engine manually from the controller.
• Regulate the discharge valve to achieve various flow readings
• Close the test line (0% load test)
• Record the following data of each test point.

• Important test points are at 150% rated capacity and shut off, Intermediate points shall
be taken to help to develop pump performance curve.
• Close the test line; stop the pump by manual stop push button.
• On completion of test, the calculated reading is used to plot a graph of the test points
and are compared with the manufacturers pump characteristic curves a study of these
curves will show the performance picture of the pump as it was tested
