Planned Maintenance Safety Inspection

1. Inspection of fan and coupling guards for corrosion and security, making sure rotating parts have been well guarded ie no loose or missing bolts.
2. Manually check main pump shaft for radial and axial movement. This can indicate bearing wear and could cause mechanical seal failure.
3. Check for free rotation of pump, tightness in wear rings, bearing failure or looseness.
   Alignment of pump and motor.
4. Coupling Condition
5. Mechanical seal and flange leakage.
6. Vibration trending of all ball/roller bearings. This will indicate condition of bearings, bad alignment and pump stress due to pipe stress.
7. Relief valve condition and settings.

A summary/priority chart will be issued to the Maintenance Manager along with individual pump reports.

Commissioning of New Plant

If new pumping equipment is installed we can commission the equipment independently from the main contractor.

We will:

1. Make sure there is no pipe stress, base plates are fitted correctly and that they are adequate for the job.
2. Realign pump to motor.
3. Ensure no excessive vibration.
4. The pump has been built correctly with no leaking mechanical seals or overheating of bearings.

All work undertaken will come with a full report.
