5.0 HVAC INSTRUMENTS INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

5.1 General Requirements

  1. Equipment, enclosures, boxes, field devices and other installation materials will be as per approved submittals and suitable for the area classification.
  2. Adequate ventilation will be provided by the construction team to prevent inhalation of fumes, dusts and other particles by the workers as a result of cutting, grinding and other activities.
  3. Sufficient lighting will be provided to prevent any incidents due to poor sight in the construction area.
  4. Proper housekeeping will be implemented before and after each working day to minimize hazards.

5.2 Material Receiving

  1. All materials delivered to site will be inspected jointly by ZP, DEC and SAPID engineers/inspectors in accordance with the approved Inspection & Test Plan.
  2. Inspection results will be recorded in appropriate approved inspection checklist duly signed by respective QC inspector/engineers.
  3. Proper storage and preservation of materials will be provided to ensure that materials will be in good condition and to provide protection against deterioration due to effects of environment conditions i.e. direct sunlight, moisture, temperature, humidity, etc.

5.3 Installation

5.3.1 DDC Panel And Field Devices Installation.
  1. DDC panel will be hauled from storage area to the location of installation by boom truck or other approved means that is sufficient to carry the weight of the panel. Check and verify if the location/mounting floor foundation of Control Panel are in accordance with the approved design and lay-out drawings.
