Objective

The problem that prompted the intervention

The firefighting set had to be recovered and its performance demonstrated to meet the unit's inspection requirements, within a fixed deadline set by the audit schedule.

Contracted scope

  • Strip-down and inspection of the set
  • Recovery of the hydraulic components
  • Replacement of seals and bearings
  • Overhaul of the drive
  • Recorded performance testing
  • Compliance documentation

Execution

The sequence applied and the engineering decisions taken

The order below reproduces how the work was actually carried out, including the points where the condition found required a change of scope.

  1. Strip-down with photographic records and dimensional inspection of every component.
  2. Recovery of impellers and wear rings, restoring the design clearances.
  3. Replacement of mechanical seals, bearings and seals.
  4. Overhaul of the drive, the coupling and the alignment of the set.
  5. Performance test with pressure, flow and vibration recorded at several points on the curve.
  6. Technical dossier issued with all inspection and test records.
