6.7.8Working at Height
The purposeof this section is to give instruction, guidelines and considerations to be
adopted by all personnel who are required to work at height.This procedures may be
supported by theissuse of other instructions and informations from time to time as deemed
necessary to maintain safe working practices.
The scope of this section aplies to all employees and contractors of the Island Tower
Electromechanical LLC-DUBAI at all location of the Jumeirah Village South District
Cooling Project worksite, within or without the confines of the Island Tower
Electromechanical LLC-Dubai Rules & Regulations. The contents should also be used as
guidance and advice to confined space crew who may be required to conduct work at
height.
Work at height mean work includes moving around at a lace of work but not travel to or
from a place of work or a place is at height if a person could be injured falling from it, even
if it is at or below ground level.
Legal Requirement: Dubai Municipality, Code of construction safety practice Chapters 3, 4,8, article 4.1,
4.2.1, 4.2.6, 4-2-7,4-2-8, 4-3-2, 3.15, 8 2, 8.3
Examples of activities that are classified as working at height include:

August 2016

Page 39 of 67

Working off bandstands

Working on a flat roof

Erecting false work and formwork

Working at ground level adjacent to an open excavation

Working near or adjacent to fragile materials

Working on formwork within an excavation

Working from a ladder

Island Tower Electromechanical LLC has wide range of effective measures for controlling
such hazards and risks associated with it and those are as follows: The Working at Height Regulations 2005 require all work at height to be properly planned,
supervised and carried out in a manner which is, so far as reasonably practicable, safe.
Work may only be carried out when weather conditions will not jeopardise the health and
safety of any person involved in the work. There are further requirements to ensure that
planning includes appropriate selection of work equipment for the job and that emergency
procedures are in place for the duration of work. The hierarchy of control for working at
height should followed and are detailed below:

August 2016

Page 40 of 67

Safety rev 001

Consider using the safest means of working at height as far as reasonably practicable and
determine what control measures can be implemented to reduce the risk of injury. The use
of roof edging, debris netting, mobile or static work platforms and ladders should be
considered. A non-exhaustive safety equipment selection list, which may be suitable for
undertaking work at height, is produced below;
Work Equipment Safety Selection List

Static Platforms such as Scaffolds

Trestles

Ladders and Stepladders

DUTY HOLDERS
Persons responsible for operations involving working at height are designated as duty
holders, and must ensure the following requirements are met all work at height is properly planned and organized;
all work at height takes account of weather conditions that could endanger health and
safety;
those involved in work at height are trained and competent;
the place where work at height is done is safe;
equipment for work at height is appropriately inspected;
the risks from fragile surfaces are properly controlled; and
the risks from falling objects are properly controlled.
MINIMISE THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN INCIDENT OCCURRING;
Good practice and legislation indicate that where working at height is deemed necessary
arrangements must be made to reduce the risk of injury to a minimum, therefore work at
height should only take place if there is no other practical alternative. Where possible staff
should not be asked to work in any area where there is a risk of falling, if this is not
possible suitable edge protection should be supplied and lone working avoided. All
equipment used during the course of working at height must be suitable and sufficient for
the task, and fall arrest/ fall protection equipment must be provided where necessary.
August 2016

Page 41 of 67

Safety rev 001

Personal Protective Equipment should only be used when all other safety measures have
been implemented and a residual risk that is un-acceptable remains. Staff working at
height must be adequately trained and any equipment (such as harness/lanyards or fall
arrest equipment) provided must be regularly inspected, visually before use and formal
inspection made and documented by a competent person at minimum 6 monthly periods.
Inspection periods may be more frequent if determined by the condition and use of the
equipment, manufacturers recommendation or risk assessment.
Work environments are also a consideration and hazards such as fragile roofs, working
over water or other high-risk areas must be taken into account, this also includes below
ground level situations. Arrangements must be in place to allow for access, egress and
rescue in an emergency situation.
Equipment such as scaffolds, ladders, work platforms (whether mobile or static) must be
properly selected, built and maintained, inspected and dismantled as detailed in any
specific legislation and guidance that may be applicable. Equipment for working at height
should be regularly inspected by a competent person, and repaired or disposed of as
necessary, the inspection should be documented and items marked to indicate the date
tested.
A Register of equipment should be compiled for use in managing the inspection regime;
equipment manufacturers indicate the frequency of inspection that is required. Visual
inspections should always be made prior to use and defects reported to supervisory staff,
defective equipment should be withdrawn from use until replaced or repaired as
appropriate.
A further consideration relates to objects falling or being thrown from height, it is the
employers responsibility to prevent this, where it is not practicable to prevent such
actions employers must ensure that persons are protected from injury by appropriate
means. Practically this means the provision of personal protective equipment such as head
protection (Hard Hats) or protective items such as debris netting or covered overhead
walkways, and securing of work areas to prevent unauthorised entry and possible injury.

Ladders & Stepladders

Ladders are a useful means of working at height although they should be considered only
when safer equipment, as far as reasonably practicable is not suitable for the work being
undertaken. Ladders should not be the first consideration for working at height operations.
Unless identified by risk assessment, ladders used should be type Class 1 which are rated
for industrial and not domestic use. Example Ladder Inspection form/checklists are
produced as Appendix 7and may be used as appropriate to the department. Formal
inspection should be made at 6 monthly periods and be recorded; visual inspections must
be made before use.
Ladders if used must be suitable for the work being undertaken; therefore ladders made of
an appropriate material that is suitable for the task i.e. a ladder being used close to an
electricity source should be constructed of a non-electricity conducting material. All
persons using ladders must be trained and competent to use them.
Harness & Lanyards
Where operational need and risk assessment identify lanyards and harnesses are required
this equipment must be provided as personal protective equipment. There is great variation
regarding harness design dependent on the manufacturer and the use the equipment is
required for, therefore expert advice from the Councils Health & safety equipment
supplier should be sought. All staff using such equipment must be suitably and sufficiently
trained as should any person with supervisory or maintenance duties involving harness
use. Harnesses must be formally checked at 6 monthly intervals and visual checks made
prior to every use, damaged, worn or ill fitting harnesses must be removed from use. All
formal checks must be recorded. Lanyards must always be anchored to a robust nonmovable anchor point when harnesses are used and Departments must ensure their
arrangements meet the requirements of this performance standard
Scaffolds
Competent persons who have received suitable and sufficient training must only erect
scaffolds. Any person using a scaffold or mobile tower must follow Safe Systems of
Work and these must be formulated and implemented by departments. When contractors
erect scaffolds or towers, they must not be accepted until checked by competent Council

August 2016

Page 43 of 67

Safety rev 001

staff, which have recognised qualifications or suitable scaffold training, and a handover
certificate is properly completed.
Legislation and guidance is in place with regard to use of scaffolds and mobile towers
which must be complied with, risk assessment must also be undertaken and further advice
may be provided on request to the Corporate Health, Safety & Wellbeing team. Inspection
regimes apply to scaffolds and mobile towers and records of inspection must be kept.
Trestles
Various types of trestles and work platforms are used during the course of work, where
possible professional equipment should be supplied and used as those made up of
stepladders and boards are by todays standards considered a safety risk. Risk Assessment
should indicate the need for use of trestles or work platforms and further advice can be
sought from the corporate Health & Safety team.
General control measures of Island Tower Electromechanicl LLC for Work At
Height with respect to this project are as follows:a)

Any open edges from which a person is liable to fall from heights shall be protected

by suitable fencing barriers of a height of between 900 and 1150 mm. The barriers could be
formed by two guardrails with the same height on top and the intermediate guard rail shall
be of height between 450 ~ 600 mm from the toe board.
b)

Work Platforms/ scaffolds will be erected in accordance with manufacturers

instructions and shall comply with the prevailing statutory safety requirements.
c)

Working platforms, walkways, passages and gangways shall be at least

400 mm wide for passage of persons only and at least 650 mm wide for passage of
materials.
d)

Workers working at height where the erection of fencing barriers is impracticable will

be provided with fall arrest safety harnesses equipped with a suitable fall arrest lanyard.
Suitable and sufficient safe anchorage points or life line system for securing the safety of
the workers will also be provided. Fall arrest safety harnesses are required to be worn at
heights above 2m.

6.7.9Confined Space
A Confined Space can be any space of an enclosed nature where there is a risk of death or
serious injury from hazardous substances or dangerous conditions (e.g. lack of oxygen).
Some confined spaces are fairly easy to identify, e.g.

Enclosures with limited openings:

Storage tanks;

Silos;

Enclosed drains and sewers.

Others may be less obvious, but can be equally dangerous, e.g.

Open-topped chambers;

Vats;

Combustion chambers in furnaces etc;

Ductwork;

Unventilated or poorly ventilated rooms.

It is not possible to provide a comprehensive list of confined spaces. Some places may
become confined spaces when work is carried out, or during their construction, fabrication
or subsequent modification.
Confined spaces can be deadly. On average, work in confined spaces kills 15 people every
year in the UAE across a wide range of industries, from those involving complex plant
through to simple storage vessels and rooms.

In addition, a number of people are

seriously injured. Those killed include not only people working in the confined space but
those who try to rescue them without proper training and equipment.
As a part of this project for Island Tower Electromechanical LLC the confined space task
is at the District Cooling Chamber entry for various tasks like overall condition survey,
flushing and pressure testing of the GRP lines.

The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that:

August 2016

Entry into confined spaces is avoided where possible.

Page 45 of 67

Safety rev 001

When entry into confined spaces is unavoidable, all hazards have been considered
and there are sufficient safe systems of work and emergency arrangements in place
that will reduce the risk of injury to the persons involved.

Ensure compliance with relevant legislation.

The scope of this section applies to all confined spaces Island Tower
Electromechanical LLC worksite premises that pose a risk to employees, visitors and
members of the public.

Tower

Electromechanical LLC employees for Jumeirah Village South District Cooling Project
are as follows: -`
Lack of oxygen: This can occur:

Where there is a reaction between some soils and the oxygen in the atmosphere;

Following the action of groundwater on chalk and limestone which can produce
carbon dioxide and displace normal air;

In freight containers, lorries etc as a result of the cargo reacting with oxygen inside
the space;

Inside steel tanks and vessels when rust forms;

When using inert gases, for example, during some welding operations.

Poisonous gas, fume or vapour.

These can:

Build-up in sewers and manholes and in pits connected to the system;

Enter tanks or vessels from connecting pipes;

Leak into trenches and pits in contaminated land.

August 2016

Page 46 of 67

Safety rev 001

Ingress of liquids and solids.

Liquids and solids, which can suddenly fill the space, or release gases into it, when
disturbed. Free flowing solids such as grain can also partially solidify or bridge in silos
causing blockages, which can collapse unexpectedly.
Fire and explosions.
Fire and explosions may occur due to flammable vapour concentrations being within the
flammable range or excess oxygen being present in a sufficient concentration.
Residues.
Residues left in tanks, vessels etc, or remaining on internal surfaces can give off gas, fume
or vapour.
Dust.
Dust (especially organic materials) present in high concentrations may pose a risk of
explosion.
Temperature.
Hot conditions or the wearing of personal protective equipment may lead to a dangerous
increase in body temperature.
Mechanical and electrical isolations.
Mechanical/electrical isolations and lock off systems may be necessary prior to entering a
confined space to prevent inadvertent start-up of equipment. Where this is necessary test
starts should always be carried out to demonstrate the isolation is effective.
Hazards arising out of work activity
Some of the above conditions may already be present in the confined space. However,
some may arise through the work being carried out, or because of ineffective isolation of
plant nearby, e.g. leakage from pipe work, ducting or other ancillary equipment connected

August 2016

Page 47 of 67

Safety rev 001

to the confined space. The enclosure and working space may increase other dangers arising
through the work being carried out, for example:

Machinery being used may require special precautions, such as provision of

exhaust/dust extraction, or special precautions against electric shock and generation of

sparks that may be a source of ignition;

Gas, fume or vapour can arise from welding, or by use of volatile and flammable

solvents from paints and adhesives etc. It may be necessary to mechanically ventilate the
confined space;
If access to the space is through a restricted entrance, such as a manhole, escape or rescue
in an emergency will be more difficult.
Island Tower Electromechanical LLC has developed a Safe System of Work for handling
Confined Space situations: It is a requirement of the Confined Spaces Regulations that there is a safe system of
work for all confined space entries. To be effective, a safe system of work needs to be in
writing

Appointment of supervisor
Supervisors must be appointed to oversee all confined space work. It is their responsibility
to ensure all the necessary precautions are taken and that the safe system of work is being
followed. It is the responsibility of the relevant Head of School/Service to appoint a
suitably trained and experienced supervisor.

The degree of supervision will be based on the findings of the risk assessment. In some
cases, periodic checks may be sufficient if the work is low risk and routine.

It is more likely that the level of risk will require a competent person to supervise the work
and remain present while the work is being undertaken.

Competence
Specific training for work in confined spaces is required for all personnel involved in this
type of work. The training will include topics such as:

Awareness of the Confined Spaces regulations and in particular the need to avoid

entry where possible;

An understanding of the work to be undertaken, the hazards, the safe system of work

and all necessary precautions;

An understanding of the permit to work and the permit to enter systems;

How emergencies arise, the need to follow prepared emergency plans and the dangers

of not doing so.

Communications
An adequate communication system is required to enable:

Communication between people inside and people outside the confined space;

Help to be summoned in an emergency;

Emergency rescue procedures to be initiated.

Systems can include speech, tugs on a rope, telephones, radios etc. Equipment to be used in
potentially flammable or explosive atmospheres should be specially protected so they do
not present a source of ignition.

Testing the air and provision of ventilation.

The risk assessment may highlight a need to check that the atmosphere is free from both
toxic and flammable vapours and that there is an adequate concentration of oxygen prior to
entry. A competent person using a suitable gas detector, which is correctly calibrated, must
carry out testing. Where the risk assessment indicates that conditions may change, or as a
further precaution, continuous monitoring of the air may be necessary. Test results must be
recorded on the permit to enter.
Note: The acceptable oxygen concentration range is between 19.5% and 21%. Work must
not be undertaken if the oxygen concentration is outside this range.

August 2016

Page 49 of 67

Safety rev 001

It is the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure that air-testing requirements identified by

the risk assessment are carried out by a competent person, who is trained in the use of the
equipment and can interpret results.
Ventilation may be improved by increasing the number of openings, however,
mechanical forced ventilation may be necessary to ensure an adequate supply of fresh
air, if this is the case, then continuous monitoring is required. Fresh air should be
drawn from a point where it is not contaminated either by used air or other
contaminants.

Use of portable gas cylinders and diesel equipment should be avoided where possible.
If their use cannot be avoided, then forced ventilation is essential to prevent the
accumulation of gases/fumes.

Warning: carbon monoxide in the exhaust from petrol-fueled engines is so dangerous that
use of such equipment in confined spaces must never be allowed.
Decontamination before entry.
It is essential ensure fumes do not develop from residues etc while the work is being done.
All decontamination requirements must be carried out and the atmosphere tested prior to
work starting. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure effective decontamination is
carried out.

Isolation from gases, liquids and other flowing materials.

Confined spaces will often need to be isolated from ingress of substances that could pose a
risk to those working within the space. Methods of isolation may include:

Complete disconnection of pipes or ducts.

Insertion of blanks.

Reliable valves that can be locked shut.

August 2016

Page 50 of 67

Safety rev 001

Whatever means of isolation is used, it needs to be tested to ensure it is suitably reliable. It

is the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure that all necessary isolations have been made
and are effective.
Isolation from mechanical and electrical equipment
Mechanical and electrical isolation of equipment is essential if it could otherwise operate,
or be operated, inadvertently. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure that all
necessary mechanical and electrical isolations (including lock-off of isolation switches)
have been made and are effective.
Use of suitable equipment
Any equipment provided for use in a confined space needs to be suitable for the purpose.
Consideration should given to:

Likelihood of flammable atmospheres and sources of ignition.

Emissions of fumes/gases.

Risk of electrocution.

Earthing requirements with regard to static electricity.

Mechanical hazards (e.g. trapping, falling, shearing etc).

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE)

Ideally the need to wear PPE or use RPE should be eliminated by implementation of robust
risk control measures. It should only be used as a last resort, except for rescue work. If the
use of PPE or RPE is necessary, then it must be assessed for suitability by a competent
person and offer the correct level of protection.
Note: wearing PPE and RPE can contribute to heat stress.
Gas supplied by pipes and hoses.
The use of pipes and hoses for conveying oxygen or flammable gases into confined spaces
must be controlled to minimize the risk.
At the end of every working period:

Supply valves for pipes and hoses must be securely closed.

Pipes and hoses must be withdrawn from the confined space to a well ventilated area.

Where pipes and hoses cannot be removed, they must be disconnected from the

supply at a point outside the confined space.

August 2016

Page 51 of 67

Safety rev 001

Size of entrance
The access/egress point must be big enough to allow workers wearing all the necessary
equipment to climb in and out easily, and provide ready access and egress in an emergency.

Fire Prevention
Flammable and combustible materials must not be stored in confined spaces that have not
been specifically created or allocated for that purpose. If this type of material is used during
work it must be kept to a minimum and not be allowed to accumulate. Control of ignition
sources and ventilation requirements must also be considered. Smoking is prohibited in all
confined spaces, it may be necessary to extend this exclusion area to a distance beyond the
confined space
Lighting: - Adequate and suitable lighting, including emergency lighting should be
provided. The lighting must be specially protected where flammable/explosive atmospheres
are likely to occur. Lighting may need to be protected from impacts and be suitable for use
in wet environments. Where possible, residual current devices should be utilized to protect
against electric shock.
Permit to Enter a Confined Space
Permission to enter a confined space can only be given by a person who has received
appropriate training and is authorized to sign a confined space Permit to Enter. An
example of a Permit to Enter can be found in Appendix 1. A Permit to Enter is required
for ALL Confined Space work at the University. It must be signed in the authorization and
acceptance section prior to work starting by a competent person. A hand-back signature
must also be completed on the permit when to work is complete or the expiry time
exceeded. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure that a permit to enter has been
completed for every confined space entry.

Suitability of persons
Those persons required to enter confined spaces must by mentally suitable (e.g. not
claustrophobic), physically fit, have received general training in the hazards presented by
August 2016

Page 52 of 67

Safety rev 001

confined spaces and the procedures to be followed. In addition, prior to entry to any
particular confined space, persons entering must be instructed by the area supervisor in the
specific hazards and precautions applying, and in the confined space rescue plan. All
Confined Spaces training must be recorded. When limiting the working time, consideration
should be given to temperature, humidity, restricted movement, the need to wear PPE/RPE
etc.

Emergency Arrangements
No confined space work must be undertaken unless their emergency plans in place for the
rescue of persons in an emergency. Account needs to be taken not only of accidents arising
out of specified risks, but also any other accident in which a person may need to be
recovered.
To be suitable and sufficient the arrangements for rescue should include consideration of:

Rescue and resuscitation equipment;

Raining the alarm and rescue;

Safeguarding the rescuer;

Fire safety;

Control of plant;

First aid;

Public emergency services;

Training.

It is the responsibility of the relevant Head of School/Service to ensure an assessment of

the emergency requirements has been made. It is the supervisors responsibility to ensure
any measures deemed necessary are in place and tested prior to any confined space entry.

Safety rev 001

The hazards and risks associated with excavation works are as follows: Cave-in: People at risk of being caught in a cave-in include workers who repair water,
sewer and utility lines; road builders; and workers who perform digging operations.
Cave-ins can be caused by:

Loose soil due to vibrations from construction equipment or traffic in the construction
area

The weight of equipment too close to the edge of a trench

Soil that does not hold tightly together, such as sandy soil

Water, which weakens the strength of trench sides

Before performing trenching or excavation work:
A competent person must evaluate possible dangers before work begins and until the
operation is completed.

The operation must be monitored at all times.

Protective systems must be used for any trench or excavation that is 5 feet or more deep.
(Excavations that are less than 5 feet deep also may require a protective system if the
competent person onsite thinks a cave-in is possible.)
Control Measures for avoiding such issues are:
a)

All excavations in excess of 1.5 meters will be barricaded at least 1 meter back from

the edge on both sides of the excavation using rigid barricading. Excavations within the
construction site less than 1.5 meters in depth shall be protected, or made visible by using
barricade tape.
b)

If access is required to excavations deeper than 1 meter a secured ladder or steps will

be provided and the excavation will be battered, stepped or shored to prevent collapse of
any loose materials.
c) Where possible all excavations shall be back filled on the same day they are opened. If
this is not possible, the excavation is to be barricaded using an approved system of rigid
barricading, erected 1 meter back from the edge. If left overnight flashing lights are to
be placed around the excavation to alert persons to the excavation.

Procedures require that complaints of interested parties, whether written or verbal, are
recorded and reviewed by authorized personnel to establish that they are justified. In the
event of unjustified complaints, a reasonable explanation will be offered to the customers.
All justified complaints are subject to analysis in order to determine the suitable
preventive action. Interested parties are notified of any immediate corrective measures
taken and what preventive action will be taken to avoid recurrence.
Any non- conformities identified are recorded and reported. Procedures ensure that the
reasons for occurrence of non-conformity are thoroughly studied such that the root cause
shall be determined. The preventive actions to be taken is identified and implemented for
this root cause. The results of corrective action taken shall be submitted for Management
Review.
Corrective/preventive actions are implemented commensurate with the magnitude of the
problem. Any permanent changes resulting from corrective action taken are recorded in
appropriate system documentation.
All corrective and preventive actions related to environment, health and safety are
reviewed through the risk assessment process prior to implementation.
Procedure also requires that available information be studied in order to detect, analyze
and eliminate potential causes of non-conformities. Information on subsequent preventive
action taken is submitted for consideration during Management Review.
Personnel are encouraged to indicate areas where potential non-conformities may occur
and report such situations. Any suggestions on possible improvements of the HSE

5.0 ABBREVIATIONS, TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

5.1 Definition of Water System Contaminants
Scale:
Scale is a build-up of solid material. Scale is dense, adherent deposition of mineral
particles bound to metal surfaces. Calcium, magnesium and iron scale (e.g. calcium
carbonates, calcium sulphate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium silicate are the
most common ones). Scale is formed when the water is heated (mainly at the
internal surface of the heat exchangers) or when the pH of the water changes. The
harder the water (more calcium and magnesium) the greater the risk of scale
formation.
Biological Fouling:
This is a result of impurities introduced to the system during the installation. Bio-film
layer can form when a system is filled but left unused. Certain types of bacteria are
responsible for the formation of this layer.

Check the pressure gauges in the system to confirm that the system is fully filled
with water.
After filling, circulate the water for one hour with the flushing pumps connected in
the network and simultaneously water is drained to the temporary drain tank located
on the agreed and specified drain point. During the balance flush the system
pressure is monitored to ensure that the filling and draining is balanced and that we
are not losing water from the upper levels.
Note: The drainage flow must never be more than the clean make-up water flow as
to avoid system pressure lost and drainage.
Whilst maintaining a balance flush, it is important that the velocity of circulating water
is sufficient to force all the debris from the system pipework.
If the flushing pump cannot match/achieve the desired flow/velocity across the
system at the same time. It will be necessary to regulate the system by closing
certain sections to force the pumps total flow through the open sections of the
system thus achieving the required flow velocity. The closed sections will then be
opened and then the open section will be closed so the required velocities will have
been achieved across the system.
During dynamic flushing, all strainer screens and dirt pockets within the system must
be checked and cleaned at regular intervals and recorded, strainer would be cleaned
periodically until the system is free of impurities, during the flushing process until the
screens has no longer show any signs of contaminant and no more deposits are
found. Carry out filling, draining and circulating until the water is visibly clear.
9.3.4. Stage 2 - Flushing with Chemicals: Cleaning with chemical

This process involves the use of chemical HYDREX 2331 which is manufactured

by M/s VEOLIA.
HYDREX 2331 will be poured to the network at the rate of 20ppm through
Temporary filter installed in the system.

In this stage after adding the Dispersant chemicals, TSS increasing and the

exact parameters depend on piping situation/case

The product shall circulate in the system minimum 24 hours and maximum 48

hours,

After adding cleaning chemical, we keep collect samples every 2 hours till

TSS increasing then be stable, then starting dynamic flushing. Chemical specialist
will monitor the TSS levels of the chemical and determine when the system is ready
to be drained out.

9.3.4.1 Final Flushing and removal of Chemicals / left over suspended

particles
The purpose of final flushing is to take out all the left over suspended particles, mill
scale, debris, and metal oxides which are accumulated in the system.
In this phase the water should be circulated through the Temporary filter installed in
the system
Sequence of work: After the chemical flushing has been completed the system is then circulated through
filtration system until the system has been cleaned from the cleaning chemical, again
monitored and inspected by the Chemical Specialist VEOLIA
The monitoring of the samples after the flushing with the chemical to clean the
system shall be carried out until the Suspended solid level >30 ppm. All strainer
screens and dirt pockets within the system must be checked and cleaned until the
screens has no longer show any signs of contaminant and no more deposits are
found. Carry out filling, draining and circulating until the water is visibly clear.
Note: It is important to drain the water and collected in the temporary mobile tanks
at the locations where a dead end was created due to closing of valve or placing a
dead plate. Generally, the muck will get accumulated at these locations.

6.1.3 PIPELINE HYDROSTATIC TESTING
6.1.3.1

Testing Overview

Provide adequate calibrated pressure gauges to monitor the pressure drop

For Pipeline Hydrostatic Testing (Pressure testing), the pipeline shall be visually checked
where ever applicable.
The objective is to pressure test the pipeline in two stages, first at 6 bar and then at 9 bar. A
section, say C1, is taken for pressure test. This section C1 has valves (IVC s) in the pipeline
and by closing these, sub-sections can be formed. In the first stage, each sub-section will
pressure tested for 6 bar and if all the sub-sections withstand 6 bar, the complete section C1
will be subjected to 9 bar pressure.
The first sub-section pipeline is now hydro-statically tested by gradually increasing the
pressure up to 6 bar, intermittent increase of 0.5 bar water, after temporary closing off the
ends / valves (IVCs) of the pipe sub-section.
Check the system for any leak and rectify if any as per the instruction from the engineer
The quantities of test water required depend on the lengths of pipe section to be tested. After
use, this water may pass on to the next test section (where possible), to minimize the overall
water usage.

JVS DC Hydrostatic Pressure Testing

Page 6 of 9

On satisfactory completion of the first stage pressure test at 6 bar the pipeline, the end of
the entire section are closed by installing locally fabricated blind flanges as a spade to both
ends. This blind flange is installed after the Butterfly Valve (BFV) by removing the flange
adaptor. The BFV in the pipeline are kept at open position. Both end BFVs are in close
position. Pressurize the pipe line up to 9 bar. Hold the pressure for 2 hours
In case any further leak detected will be rectified and again pressurize the system up to 9
bar and maintain for 2 hours.
