gully traps prior to repair and/or replacement.

Assess condition of drainage piping system to identify extent of damages to the

system prior to any repair and/or replacement

Replacement of any damaged toilet sanitary wares and accessories.

Assess pipe connection and routing upto final discharge point is in place
otherwise temporary disposable water tanks to be provided. Temporary tank
location space availability to be confirmed upon site survey

5. High Level Small Power:

o Site evaluation of SMDB-P3 / 400A isolator (from where main panel dedicated
to KATANA Restaurant SMDB-1 is fed) and determine if it is functional or not.
o

Site evaluation of main power cable coming from SMDB-P3 / 400A isolator to
SMDB-1 and determine if it is damaged.

Site evaluation of all SMDBS & DBs panels located in electrical cupboard and
determine if any damage is caused internally to the MCCB/ACB, &
RCBO/ELCB.

Energizing the electrical panels in order to check all the Lighting & Small Power
circuits.

6. Low Level Small Power:

o

Energizing the panels

Site evaluation of GI trunking & GI conduits for lighting & small power

Site evaluation of all small power equipments (socket outlets, isolators, floor
outlet box, etc.)

Site evaluation of all low level small power circuits power cables

Verify if low level small power installations are complying with latest DEWA
regulations.

7. Lifts L15, L16, L17 & staircase S3, & S8

o Site evaluation of chilled water riser.

o

Power (SMDBs, DBs, control panels & isolators) site evaluation for L15,
L16, L17 & S3, S8.

Lighting and emergency lighting installations, luminaires & electrical

accessories site evaluation for L15, L16, L17 & S3, S8.

Sequence of Works:
Stage I: Identification of accessibility
1.1. Team involved in this activity should have passed the building induction
1.2. Study isometrics and layout drawings for this identified circuit as per work schedule
1.3. Obtain permits to gain access for visual inspection
1.4. Check accessibility of all equipment. The following should be considered when assessing
accessibility.
a. Access the pumps, motors, source of power supply for damage assessment
b. Future ability to conduct operation tests of equipment
c. Disruption to other services
1.5. Drawings and isometrics to be coloured accordingly
Green = Accessible
Red = Not accessible
1.6. Recording sheets and camera to be handed over to team leader at the end of every shift
and document controllers to store soft copies of data.
Stage II: Pre-commissioning checks for MEP services:
This will involve all visual inspections and pre-commissioning tests such as the following

Pressure tests on pipes,

Insulation resistance tests for cables, busbars & motors

leakage tests for ducting,

checks for insulation on pipes

Stage III: Operation/Function Tests

Mechanical:
In case installed chilled water system will be in operation with minor restoration work:
Run the chilled water pumps
Run the transfer and booster water pumps
Check the valves are in operation
Check the functionality of the unit motors
Commissioning of the system

In case chilled water system will not be in operation without major restoration work:
Option 1:

Source and install temporary DX-split units, locate indoor units in the same location
of the current chilled water fan coil unit to allow easy switch off with chilled water
FCU in future when chilled water system restored back in operation. Review space
availability for outdoor units.
Source and install temporary GRP tank and booster pump and can be located
within fan room however further investigation required on space availability.

Option 2:
Source and install temporary portable CHW or DX floor mounted air condition units
till the chilled water system back to operational mode.
Note: In both above options, ceiling access shall be provided to facilitate easy switching from
temporary setup to permanent CHW system in future. Also sizes of CWS/HWS/HWR indicated in
Katana restaurant as built drawing are not consistent with sizes shown in schematics hence site
survey is necessary to determine which line coming out of the main plant room is required for
restaurant to be in operation.
Assess if equipments duct work are in good condition and ready for operation i.e. AHU, FCUs,
toilet exhaust fans and ecology unit.

Check all ducts dampers are operational

Note: as per the as built drawing both toilet extract fans and Kitchen extract fans are located
outside the kitchen in fan room (location of fan room seems adjacent to Katana restaurant
however location to be further confirmed at site) hence if the units are not operational then it can
be replaced or maintained easily subject to its conditions.
Electrical:
Initial checks for power supply and equipment condition:

Electrical safety at work will be evaluated by ESSW (electrical safe system

of work) Manager prior to commencement of any physical inspections of
equipment.

Verify all electrical power supply in the area of damage is isolated and
locked/tagged out.

Check power for the hot water tanks ensure the installation of the tanks
along with the condition of the associated retain pump motors. Conduct
continuity checks and megger (IR) tests on the motor and power cables.

Check power for the main plant transfer and booster pumps. Verify if the
motors are functional and can be energized in future.

Check power to all FCU control valves and verify condition of BMS wiring
connection.

Check the heat exchangers along with the condition of associated motors,
insulation and related pipe routing.

Check the air handling units for extent of damage caused to the louvers,
control valves, associated piping and insulation.

Conduct megger (IR) test and continuity tests on all cables feeding motors
and related instruments that appear to have incurred minor insulation
damage.

Identify and accumulate list of all electrical instruments such as motors and
related power cables that can be restored temporarily.

Identify power & control cable schedule and segregate cables that can be
restored temporarily for all associated equipment such as cameras,
motors, control valves, lighting, Fire alarm, small power, etc.

In case of major damage caused to all electrical equipment and related

cabling/wiring (Power supply) new cables will have to be pulled from the
switchboards to the equipment that will also be replaced.

In case any luminaire, small power equipment (socket outlets, isolators, &
floor outlet box) is damaged it must be replaced.

In case any lighting control equipment's (switches) luminaire is damaged, it

must be replaced.

In case any power cables or DALI control cable is damaged, it must be

replaced.

Post evaluation if any main panels or distribution boards are damaged,

they must be replaced.

Post evaluation if any power cables or isolators are damaged, they must
be replaced.

High/Low level small power, lighting, emergency lighting, lifts & staircase
installations must be carried out as per latest DEWA regulations.

Safety:
The tasks described in this method statement are deemed to be low risk as long as good
practice and permit systems are followed. The teams are to adhere to the scope of visual
inspections and safe system of work procedure in order to carry out operational/function tests
