Verify the length and integrity of welded/screwed connections
prior to depressurizing.
Properly de-pressurize connecting lines before attempting to seal
or break joint Components.
When bleeding the pressure from a section of the line, use
extreme caution, especially when deflectors such as ells are used.
Slowly bleed pressure following a test.
Confirm that the diversion of water and will follow a safe pathway
Always verify that complete depressurization has occurred through
the use of pressure gauges and visible checks.
The atmosphere shall be monitored for safety during any blow
down, bleed off or depressurization.
During the initial planning stage of a de-watering operation, an
analysis of the existing and temporary piping system should be
performed to identify the pressure associated with fluids and other
forces that could adversely affect the integrity of the pipeline or
the stability of the drainage and its components.
Securely support and tie down dewatering lines at the discharge
end to prevent uncontrolled movement during dewatering.
The following guidelines should be followed in de-watering
activities:
Anchor the de-watering lines. It is accepted industry practice to
adequately anchor or secure de-watering piping to prevent
movement and separation of the piping. Establish effective
anchoring systems based on expected forces and ensure that the
systems are used during de-watering projects.
Ensure condition of couplings and parts. All couplings and parts of
the de-watering system need to be properly selected for their
application. The associated piping which the couplings connect is a

forces that could adversely affect the integrity of the pipeline or

Securely support and tie down dewatering lines at the discharge
end to prevent uncontrolled movement during dewatering.
The following guidelines should be followed in de-watering
activities:
Anchor the de-watering lines. It is accepted industry practice to
adequately anchor or secure de-watering piping to prevent
movement and separation of the piping. Establish effective
anchoring systems based on expected forces and ensure that the
systems are used during de-watering projects.
Ensure condition of couplings and parts. All couplings and parts of
the de-watering system need to be properly selected for their
application. The associated piping which the couplings connect is a
significant variable in the entire mechanical piping system. The
couplings are manufactured in a controlled environment, and
variations in the quality of the couplings should be limited. Ensure
that couplings are within manufacturer's tolerances and free of
damage that may result in connection failure.
Notify all personnel that the area is all clear.
