Job 1: Assembling a Pump and Pipe System

Job 2

In this job, I assembled a pump and connected it to a pipe system based on the specs given. I started by going over the drawings to make sure I understood the assembly order and that I had all the right parts and tools ready. I checked each component for cleanliness to avoid contamination and confirmed that the gaskets and bolts met the required specs. My workspace was set up clean and free of hazards, and I put up barriers to keep it safe for others nearby.During assembly, I carefully lined up each pipe section with the pump flanges, tightening the bolts evenly to avoid any misalignment. I used a torque wrench to make sure each bolt was tightened to the specified torque, following all the safety protocols and wearing my PPE. Once the assembly was done, I did a pressure test to make sure all joints were secure and held up to the tolerances needed.I kept my supervisor and teammates in the loop with regular updates and let them know if I hit any challenges. I also documented each step of the work, including setup, alignment checks, torque specs, and the final pressure test results. This task was a good chance to practice assembling a complex system, and I made sure to focus on quality, safety, and good communication throughout.

Job 2: Installing and Aligning a Compressor System with Piping

For this job, I installed a compressor system and connected it to an existing pipe network, working to tight alignment specs. I started by looking over the technical drawings, making sure I had all the right materials, fittings, and fastening hardware as per the assembly plan.To keep things safe, I did a pre-task hazard assessment and set up safety barriers around the work area. I used lifting equipment to position the compressor, making sure it aligned exactly with the pipe connections. I checked the alignment with a laser tool to avoid any strain on the connections when it would be up and running. I secured all connections with a torque wrench, checking each one matched the required torque values and logged them in the assembly record.After completing the install, I ran a few performance tests to check for leaks and confirm the system was solid. Throughout the job, I kept in touch with my team to coordinate the placement of other parts and finished with a final inspection to make sure everything met the specs and safety requirements.
