METHOD STATEMENT FOR INSTALLATION OF HIGH VELOCITY WATER SPRAY SYSTEM
Proper materials which include pipes and fittings are to be selected and used according to approved
shop drawing and good engineering practices.
Sufficient stock of materials, tools, testing equipment’s and consumables along with sufficient
manpower shall be arranged to carry out the work.
Prior to start of activity, area and access will be inspected to ensure that the area is ready to start
the work.
Ensure that correct location of deluge should be free from any other services and as per approved
drawings.
Safe and tidy work place, clear access to the work place, method of shifting materials and tools are
to be ensured.
Coupling installation
1. Groove the pipe ends according to the manufacturer’s specification, project specification and
consultant's approval
PAGE 6 OF 14
METHOD STATEMENT FOR INSTALLATION OF HIGH VELOCITY WATER SPRAY SYSTEM
2. Pipe must be free from indentations, projections or roll marks on exterior from the ends to the
groove, to assure a leak tight seat for the gasket.
3. Place gasket over pipe ends, being sure gasket lip does not overhang pipe end
4. Align and bring 2 pipe ends together and slide gasket into position centred between the grooves on
each pipe .No portion of the gasket should extending to the groove on either pipe.
5. Loosely assemble all segments leaving one nut and bolt off to allow for "swing-over" feature.
6. With 1 nut and 1 bolt removed, use the “swing-over" feature to position housings over gasket and
into the grooves on both pipes.
7. Insert the remaining bolt to allow easy tightening of the nut .Be sure track head engages into
housing recess.
8. Tighten nuts alternately and equally maintaining metal-to-metal contact at the angle bolt pads.
9. Tighten securely to assure a rigid joint.
Installation procedure
Ensure that all tools needed for installation are ready.
Installation shall be carried out as per the approved shop drawings/contract specifications.
Locate the deluge valves as per approved drawings.
With the use of foundation bolts fix the Deluge values and accessories firmly and to be inspected by
Quality Control Engineer.
Install the supports fabricated as per approved drawing and site condition with the proper bolting.
Install the pipes and valves as per approved drawing.

Testing of pipework
PAGE 8 OF 14
METHOD STATEMENT FOR INSTALLATION OF HIGH VELOCITY WATER SPRAY SYSTEM
1. Installation of the pipe work shall be approved from the consultant prior to proceed with testing of
pipe work.
2. Valid calibration certificate shall be available for carrying out the pressure test.
3. Necessary safety permits shall be obtained from the concerned prior to start the pressure test.
4. Use ambient temperature water and clean water for testing purpose.
5. While filling system, use vents installed at high points of system to release air and use
drains installed at low points for complete draining of test liquid.
6. All piping are subjected to working pressure shall be hydrostatically tested @ 16 bar
7. After hydrostatic test pressure has been applied for at least 10mins, examine piping, joints, and
connections for leakage.
8. In case of leakage: Eliminate leaks by tightening, repairing, or replacing components and repeat
hydrostatic test until there are no leaks.
9. Inspection shall be offered to Consultant/Engineer to witness and approve the pressure testing along
with test reports and valid calibration certificates.
10. Consider tolerance limit/Variance for the pressure test±5% of applied pressure.
11. On completion of successful pressure test, the water shall be drained through the drain provisions
provided at in pipe work to the designated drainage network/disposal areas
1. Special key wrenches must be used to provide proper leverage when tightening the sprinkler to
avoid slipping.

Drawings, MS and ITP shall be approved prior starting the work.
When the Foreman considers that the work is ready to be inspected, he informs the Site Engineer. The Site
Engineer then comes to control the works on site and reviews all the items mentioned in the Inspection and
Test Plan (ITP).
At this point, if the Site Engineer spots any deviation, he requests the production team to rectify the work.
As soon as he ensured that the work is satisfactory, he makes Inspection and Testing Request (ITR) including
the check sheets, drawings etc. and gives it to the QA/QC team. The ITR and check sheets shall be submitted
in advance, which will facilitate the Quality Team to inform the Engineer.
The Senior Quality personnel organizes its team and assigns the proper Inspector to carry out the inspection.
If necessary, the Senior Quality personnel highlights the sensitive points of the inspection to his subordinates
before inspection.
