MS. No.: ART/MSS/PL-07 Date : 23/04/2016

1. All pumps equipments shall be located and installed as per approved shop drawings.
2. It is to be ensured also that all pump equipment foundations as per design/lay-out have
been completed prior to setting and installation.
3. Support packaged pumps using the vibration control devices (Anti- Vibration Pads &
Flexible connectors).
Booster Pump Set Installation
 Booster pump consists of 2D + 1 S arrangement with common suction header and
discharge header, isolating valve fixed on the suction and discharge side of each
pump ,Check valves on discharge side of each pump, pressure gauge and pressure
switch fixed on discharge header, control panel and pressure vessel .All assembled
on a common steel base frame
 All Booster Pump set shall be complete as shown in detailed drawing with
duty/stand-by units as to be installed with a pre-wired control panel.
 All Parts of the Pump set shall be as per the standard approved as mentioned in
supplier nameplates & capacity.
 Pumps should be placed in a well ventilated room to ensure adequate cooling g of
the pumps motors.Kepp a clearance of 50cm-100cm from all sides.
 Also, a diaphragm pressure vessel & devices are installed as per standard as
mentioned in material submittal. In which the “Demand Pressure” interfacing is
ensured through the setting of pressure switch, wherein the minimum (Cut-in
Pressure) and maximum (Cut-off Pressure) is met within the pumping system.
 Arrows on the pump base show the direction of flow of water through the pumps.
Pipe connection shall made as per the direction for both suction and discharge.
 The pipe connected to the pumps shall be of adequate size.
 To avoid resonance flexible connectors should be fitted with suction and discharge.
 All connections to the water distribution piping network shall be isolated with the
provision of flexible connectors to ensure that no vibrations are transmitted due top
the pump action.
 The pumps should be placed on plane solid surface (concrete floor or foundation )
using vibration absorption pad.

 All Valves and accessories pertaining to the pump equipments (such as gauges etc.)
are accessible for any operator’s interventions.
 To prevent the pump from dry running floats switch shall be installed in the water
tank.
 Pump should also follow the BMS point list.

Water Circulation Pump Set

 Circulation pump consists of 1D + 1 S arrangement with common suction header
and discharge header, isolating valve fixed on the suction and discharge side of
each pump, Check valves on discharge side of each pump, pressure gauge fixed on
discharge header, and a pre wired control panel .All assembled on a common steel
base frame
 Arrows on the pump base show the direction of flow of water through the pumps.
Pipe connection shall made as per the direction for both suction and
discharge.
 All piping connections into pump shall be isolated with the provision of flexible
connectors ensuring no vibrations are transmitted during pump operations.
 The pipe connected to the pumps shall be of adequate size
 Prior to installation it shall be ensured that coupling connections shall be
disengaged. As it will required to establish pump alignment before any start-up
operation.
 All field wirings are to be completed and finalized prior to start-up.
 Pumps shall be installed in such a way that, all valves and accessories shall be
located at an accessible position for maintenance and servicing.
 Pump should follow the BMS point list.

Submersible Pump Set

 Submersible pump consists of duty standby pump with guide rail ,lifting
chain,control panel.

 Drill mounting hole s for the guide rail bracket on the side of the pit and fasten the
guide rail with two screws
 .Place the auto coupling base unit on the bottom of the pit .
 Use a plum line to establish the correct positioning.
 Assemble discharge line in a generally accepted procedure and without the line to
distortion or tension.
 Install gate valve and check valve separately on each pump discharge line.
 Insert the guide rail into the auto-coupling base unit and adjust the length of the rail
accurately to the guide rail bracket
 Unscrew the provisionally fastened guide rail bracket, fit it on top of the guide rail
and finally fasten it firmly to the pit wall.
 Clean out debris from the pit before lowering the pump.
 Fit the guide claw to the discharge port of the pump. Then slide the guide claw
down the guide rail and lower the pump into the pit by means of chain provided.
 Install float switch as per the approved scheme.
 Make sure that all cable entries are water tight and no joints inside the pit.
 All field wiring and control panel connection to be completed before startup.
