5. CONCLUSION
This guideline is prepared in intent to provide proper site storage and preservation of the
Mechanical, Electrical and C & I items / equipment supplied under various bought out
packages/items. This storage procedure shall be followed at different power plant sites by
concerned agency for storage and preservation from the date of equipment received at
site until the same are erected and handed over to the customer.
Many of the items may be required to be kept in stores for long period. It shall therefore
be essential that proper methods of storage and preservation be applied so that items do
not deteriorate, loose some of their properties and become unusable due to atmospheric
conditions and biological elements.
1. To the extent feasible, materials should be stored near the point of erection. The
storage areas should have adequate unloading and handling facilities with adequate
passage space for movement of material handling equipment such as cranes, fork lift
trucks, etc. The storage of materials shall be properly planned to minimise time loss
during retrieval of items required for erection.
2. The outdoor storage areas as well as semi-closed stores shall be provided with
adequate drainage facilities to prevent water logging. Adequacy of these facilities shall
be checked prior to monsoon.
3. The storage sheds shall be built in conformity with fire safety requirements. The stores
shall be provided with adequate lights and fire extinguishers. ‘No smoking’ signs shall
be placed at strategic locations. Safety precautions shall be strictly enforced.
4. Adequate lighting facility shall be provided in storage areas and storage sheds and
security personnel positioned to ensure enforcement of security measures to prevent
theft and loss of materials.
5. Adequate number of competent stores personnel and security staff shall be deployed
to efficiently store and maintain the equipment / material.
6. At no time shall any materials be stored directly on ground. All materials shall be
stored minimum 200 mm above the ground preferably on wooden sleepers
1. All special measures to prevent corrosion shall be taken like keeping material in dry
condition, avoiding the equipment coming in contact with corrosive fluid like water,
acid etc.
2. Materials which carry protective coating shall not be wrapped in paper, cloth, etc., as
these are liable to absorb and retain moisture. The material shall be inspected and in
case of signs of wear or damages to protective coating, that portion shall be cleaned
with approved solution and coated with an approved protective paint. Complete record
of all such observations and protective measures taken shall be maintained.
3. Generally equipment supplied at site are properly greased or rust protective oil is
applied on machined/ fabricated components. However periodic inspection shall be
carried out to ensure that protection offered is intact.
4. While handling the equipment, no dragging on the ground is permitted. Avoid using
wire rope for lifting coated components. Use polyester slings (if possible) otherwise
protective material (e.g. clothes, wood block etc.) should be used while handling the
components with rope / slings
5. For Equipment supplied with finished paint, touch paint shall be done in case any
surface paint gets peeled off during handling. Otherwise such surfaces shall
necessarily be wrapped with polythene to avoid any corrosion. Further for equipment
wherein finish coat is to be applied at site, site to ensure that equipment is received
with primer coat applied.
6. It shall be ensured by periodic inspection that plastic inserts are intact in tapped holes,
wherever applicable.
7. Pipes shall be blown with air periodically and it shall be ensured that there is no
obstruction.
8. Silica gel or approved equivalent moisture absorbing material in small cotton bags
shall be placed and tied at various points on the equipment, wherever necessary.
- In case of any damages, these shall be promptly notified and in all cases, the
repairs / rectification shall be carried out.
- Any items found damaged or not suitable as per project requirements shall be
removed from site. If required to store temporarily, they shall be clearly
marked and stored separately to prevent any inadvertent use.
The types of storage are broadly classified under the following heads:
i Closed storage with dry and dust free atmosphere. (C )
The closed shed can be constructed by using cold-rolled / tubular components for
structure and corrugated asbestos sheets / galvanised iron sheets for roofing. Brick
walls / asbestos sheets can be used to cover all the sides. The floor of the shed can
be finished with plain cement concrete suitably glazed. The shed shall be provided
with proper ventilation and illumination.
A separate yard to be identified as “scrap yard” slightly away from main open yard to
store wooden/steel scraps, which are to be disposed off. This is required to avoid mix
up with regular components as well as to avoid fire hazard.
Some of the components, which are having both machined & un-machined surfaces
and are bulky, shall be stored in open storage area on a raised ground and suitably
covered with water proof / fire retardant tarpaulin.

by the bidder considering overloading of the pumps in the event of tripping of one of the operating
pumps.
