Dewatering and drainage system

3.6 Dewatering and drainage

system
Overview
Dewatering system is to discharge the water in flow passage when unit
maintenance, the drainage system is to drainage all the water in the
power house. The test in this manual is to ensure that completed
installations are in accordance with design information, and verify the
whole system operation in accordance with design requirements.

Scope of this document is applied the systems below in BUI

Hydroelectric Project:

➢ Dewatering system
➢ Drainage system

Equipment to be used for testing

➢ Megohmmeter
➢ Multimeter

Commissioning procedure

Note: All data of the test should be recorded at the end of this
section. And the owner representative and contractor tester, by their
signature on the sheets (records), confirms that the results have been
read by the person(s) responsible for implementation.
