Job 1

Dismantling Pipework and Associated Components in Confined Space Overview: The task involved dismantling an existing pipework system within a confined space, including various pipe supports and coupling components. I prepared by reviewing the component drawings and ensured all tools and safety checks were in place. A risk assessment was completed, highlighting confined space hazards and the need for constant ventilation. Procedure: Preparation and Safety: Before dismantling, I established the workspace with adequate lighting and a ventilation system. After inspecting all tools, I donned PPE suitable for confined spaces, including a respirator and harness. I double-checked that energy sources were isolated, and any residual pressure was vented to ensure a safe working environment. Isolations and Disconnections: Following approved procedures, I systematically disconnected each section of the pipework, ensuring that all isolations were effective. I started with the flanges, using the appropriate wrench sizes to avoid damaging the fittings. Pipe supports were dismantled next to prevent stress on the pipe sections during removal. Component Removal and Inspection: Each pipe section was unfastened in sequence. I took care to handle the components to prevent any ingress of foreign materials, using covers for open ends as I went along. After each removal, I checked the components for signs of wear or corrosion, identifying any that would need replacement in a reassembly scenario. Labelling and Storage: Components intended for reuse were labeled and stored with protective coverings. I kept track of the order of dismantling to streamline future reassembly. Waste materials were disposed of according to company guidelines, and obsolete components were placed in designated bins.

Job 2

Dismantling Flanged Pump Connections and Support Structures Overview: For this task, I was responsible for dismantling a series of flanged pump connections and supporting brackets as part of an equipment relocation project. This process involved following precise steps to safely remove components without damaging the pump or surrounding systems. Procedure: Preparation and Isolation: I reviewed the pump’s layout drawing to confirm which connections needed dismantling. After isolating the system, I released any stored pressure to prevent unexpected discharges. I also conducted a pre-use inspection of all required tools, including torque wrenches and crowbars for the flanges. Component Labelling and Sequential Removal: I labeled each part to keep track of its position for the next phase. Then, I began loosening the flange bolts, ensuring I followed the correct sequence to evenly release the pressure around the connections. I took special care with the gaskets, handling them gently to avoid unnecessary damage. Support Structure Disassembly: With the flanges and pipes removed, I moved on to the support brackets, ensuring that each was unfastened without shifting the pump’s alignment. I handled all components cautiously, installing temporary support to keep the pump stable while removing the main structures. Final Checks and Storage: After dismantling, I inspected each component for reuse suitability. Any worn or corroded parts were marked for disposal. I recorded the dismantling details for documentation and stored components in protective wrappings to avoid contamination. Finally, I ensured all tools and materials were cleared from the site, leaving it ready for the next phase.
