VIII. EXECUTION OF WORKS
1. PRE START CHECKS
The purpose of these procedures is to check that the installation is in a satisfactory and safe
condition before starting up
All the equipment and duct installation as per “As built” drawing and approval from
consultant is available before start up
Installed equipment and project specifications are same
All Terminals are fitted and VCD are open
Thermostat installation is as per drawings
Ductwork, chambers and components are cleaned
All fire dampers are fully open
Air leakage tests are successfully completed
Filter installation is correct and condition is good
Cooling Coil condition is good
Fan and motor bearings are properly lubricated
Access doors are securely fitted
Fan Impellers rotates freely

Motor insulation tests are complete
Electrical terminal box is clean
2. START UP CHECKS
The systems will be tested in manual operation.
Direction and rotation of fan is proper
Motor, drive and fan are free from vibration or undue noise
Run the fan and check the motor current. Ensure that its design full load value is not exceeded
Measure the total flow rate at the terminals since there is only few terminals for FCU’s
Check and verify the motor speed control with thermostat.
Check Actuator is working in accordance with thermostat
Measure the flow rate at different speeds
Note: Before starting the testing, it is essential that the building ceiling, partition doors and
windows are installed. Ensure windows and doors are in their normal or closed state. If spaces are
not architecturally sealed, abnormal pressure distributions will unbalance the system and lead to
inconsistent results.
3. WORK PROCEDURE
FCU’s are having lesser terminals and hence the duct air flow measurement is not applicable. The
system flow rate is measured in the terminals and the sum obtains the result. Take initial reading in
terminals and calculate the actual percentage flow rate in terminals. Do the proportional balancing
for the calculated flow rate in terminals. Adjust the VCD for terminal having higher flow rate and
bring it to the required proportional flow rate. The other terminals will be automatically adjusted.
Do the same on each terminal and mark the VCD position. Now take the final terminal flow rate and
check the values for tolerance limit. Measure the Suction and discharge static pressure values
Note: Vane Anemometer and Balometer Hoods will be used to measure the air flow rate in grills
and diffusers as per their size.

IX. QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURE
All works shall be ensured by the Project Manager and T&C Engineer to conform with the
MOS, specification and manufacturer recommendation.
Upon completion of Testing & Air Balancing of each equipment, Inspection Request (WIR)
shall be raised to consultant approval as per Inspection test plan.
QA/QC shall double check the work procedure along with the site team, if it is compiled as
per approved MOS, project specification and manufacture recommendation.
QA/QC will invite the Engineer for work inspection at site.
Once WIR is approved, further activity will proceed.
If WIR is rejected, QA/QC immediately inform the site team to rectify the Engineer’s
comments. Once rectification completed, Work Inspection Request (WIR) shall be raised
again to consultant approval as per Inspection test plan.
X. ENVIRONMENTAL
All waste shall be segregated and disposed as per waste management plan.
Dust shall be suppressed by water spraying as and when required.
Necessary dust bin or waste collection box will be provided to collect the wastages.
Appropriate drinking water shall be provided according to the man power.
Main contractor will ensure emergency procedure as per the site HSE Plan.
All the chemicals shall be stored, handled and disposed as per MSDS only
XI. EMERGENCY PROCEDURE
General: Site general safety procedures will be followed. In case of emergency the Safety
Officer will stop the work. He will put into action the emergency arrangements and report to
assembly points as indicated during the Site Induction Course.
Fire Precautions: No significant fire risk is associated with this activity but general fire
prevention measures will be taken. In case of small fire use the fire extinguisher, if you
know how to use the fire extinguisher.
