METHOD OF STATEMENT FOR WATER LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM TESTING & COMMISSIONING

 

Method of Statement for Water Leak Detection System Testing & Commissioning

OUTLINE 

Purpose: 

The purpose of this method statement is to provide a procedure for testing and commissioning the water leak detection system.

Scope: 

This method statement is applicable to the testing and commissioning of the water leak detection system installed at the project site.

Responsibilities: 

The following personnel shall be responsible for the testing and commissioning of the water leak detection system:

• Project Manager
• Site Engineer
• Testing and Commissioning Engineer
• System Integrator
• Client's Representative

Equipment Required:

• Laptop computer with necessary software
• Testing equipment for the water leak detection system
• Test leads and probes
• Water supply for testing

Testing and Commissioning Procedure:

a) Pre-Commissioning Checks:

• Verify that all the water leak detection sensors are installed as per the approved shop drawings and manufacturer's instructions.
• Check the wiring connections between the sensors, control panel, and power supply to ensure that they are secure.
• Verify that the control panel is powered up and functioning properly.
• Conduct a visual inspection of the entire system to ensure that all components are installed properly and are free from any defects.

b) System Testing:

• Conduct a functional test of the system by simulating a water leak using the test leads and probes.
• Verify that the system is able to detect the simulated water leak and activate the alarm system.
• Conduct a verification test of the system by introducing a small amount of water at the point of detection and verifying that the alarm system is activated.
• Verify that the system is able to differentiate between a real water leak and other sources of moisture such as condensation.
• Test the response time of the system by introducing water at different points in the system and verifying that the alarm is activated within the specified time frame.

c) System Commissioning:

• Verify that the system is fully integrated with the building management system (BMS) and that all alarms and events are properly recorded.
• Train the building operator on the proper use and maintenance of the system.
• Provide the client with a comprehensive operation and maintenance manual for the system.

Safety Precautions:

• Ensure that all personnel involved in the testing and commissioning of the water leak detection system are properly trained and equipped with the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Ensure that all testing equipment is properly calibrated and certified.
• Verify that the water supply used for testing is clean and free from any contaminants.
• Ensure that all electrical connections are properly grounded.

Conclusion: 

Upon completion of the testing and commissioning of the water leak detection system, the system shall be deemed to be operational and ready for use. Any deficiencies or issues identified during testing shall be rectified prior to final acceptance of the system. needs.
