Now the following is the complete method statement for diesel generator installation:

1.  Purpose

This Method Statement covers installations of diesel generators.

2. Scope of Work

This procedure defines the method to be used to ensure that the generators are correct and acceptable and shall conform to the specification.

3. References

·      QCQC

·      Project Specifications

·      Approved Drawings

·      Approved Material Submittal

·      Approved Safety Plan

·      Approved shop drawing

4. Responsible Personnel

·      Electrical Field Engineers

·      Safety Officer

·      QA/QC Engineer

·      Electrical Superintendent

5. Safety

·      All safety precautions shall be followed as per the approved safety plan & procedure.

·      Ensure all involved persons are aware of the same.

·      Safety  Officer to ensure that all tools and equipment are suitable and in good condition.

·      Ensure that all tradesmen shall leave their working places clean, tidy, and free of rubbish.

6.  Delivery

·      The approved generator is Cummins, Made in the UK.

·      Check for any damages, or scratches on packing before acceptance of delivery.

·      Check the KVA capacity, voltage, country of origin and be sure are and in accordance to the approved material submittal.

7.  Storage

·      Use a mobile crane to offload the generator. Make sure that the capacity of the mobile crane can carry the weight of the generator.

·      Offloading generator in the designated offloading area.  Proper care must be observed during offloading to prevent unnecessary damage to the generator.

·      Move the generator to a dry and clean storage area through the use of a crane.

·      Ensure that the generator is properly protected and covered by a tarpaulin.

·      Submit the material delivery form to the consultant for their inspection and approval.

8.  Pre-Installation

·      All materials and documentation relevant to this particular section of works shall be checked prior to installation and all the installation shall be as per approved shop drawing.

·      Before any permanent work will be started, an inspection of all materials, tools, and accessories shall be carried out.

·      Cables shall be checked for continuity and insulation resistance and records shall be kept for future reference.

·      Ensure that proper access is to execute the works in a suitable condition and free from obstruction.

9.  Installation Procedure

It has been presumed that all related civil works have been completed prior to generator installation.

·      Before the generator will be delivered to the site, check that the generator room is ready for installation.

·      Move the generator from the storage area using a crane and trailer and set them in position near the generator room. Make sure that the orientation of the generator with regard to the position of cable entries, exhaust system, and ventilation system is correct.

·      Check mechanical operation of off-loading. Verify that the movement is positive.

·      Push in the generator inside its room. Set the generator to its final position and make sure that is fixed properly.

·      Dress and terminate the incoming and outgoing cables on the generator. Ensure that the cables are supported properly. Cable glands and lugs shall be from an approved manufacturer.

·      After termination works have been completed, clean the generator cable box and ensure that it is free from foreign materials. Ensure that all the connections are properly tight through the use of a torque wrench.

·      Cover the cable boxes. Bolts and nuts must be tightened properly. Make sure that the generator room is clean and free from foreign materials.

·      Generator will be connected to a designated earthling point using an earthling cable.

10.  Tools

·      Electric-powered tools: Drill, grinder.

·      Hand tools: Screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, and hammers.

·      Meters: Earth resistance test meter, insulation test meter.

·      Mechanical test tools: Torque wrench.

11.  Inspection

·      A 2 request for inspection shall be raised. One request after the installation of the generator and the second after cable termination.

12.  Attachment

·      Risk Assessment
