Week 12 - 21st-25th June 2010

Week 12 also the last week for my industrial training. Things are getting settle down. Most of the time I was in office updating reports likes reticulation, power cable schedule and lightings cable schedule. Help supervisor warehouse to collect equipments like batteries, torchlight, padlocks, tapes and many more. I also help technicians update their motor rating report.

Week 11 - 14th-19th June 2010

I left 2 more weeks in MMHE yet I'm still learning something new everyday. Busduct vendor, Mr. Roger arrived from Belgium. His job here is to make sure that all the busduct joints are casted properly and the connections are in good shape. Some new knowledge from client on the Star-Delta connection based on this project design and needs. Casting the busduct joint requires Beto-Iso-Mix. Vendors from TriSystems came to do some settings and also testing on the hydrogen detector meter in battery room. It is more to instrument department. 3rd HSE Day was celebrated for the 5 million manhours without LTI. MSF was packed with activities like lighting and socket outlet testing. Water maker pump for solo-run test was not left out too. Module 6 went for weighing on Friday evening as a preparation before it gets sail away by the end of August. Saturday was as usual with the housekeeping day. Busduct casting still in progress and final test will be done tomorrow (Sunday).

Week 10 - 7th-12th June 2010

Week 10 was busy and it started off with a bad weather. Anew documentation needed to be done, Fabrication Punchlist. Switchgear room's atmosphere was a little bit tension. Things did not go well as many part of the switchgear need to be corrected. This time I followed Mr. Florante for the Fire Water line walk. Pipes used in this system are made out of a material named Glass Re-enforcement Epoxy (GRE). It is cheaper and long lasting. Obtained an overview of how nitrogen generator system and its usage. It acts more like a filter. The speed of the nitrogen's flow will affect its purity. SSpP-5510 & SSP-5530 went through a in-house checking. Troubleshooting, Megger Test and readings like starting and running amps were performed. I was explained on our GENSET. What are the main components and how synchronization works are stored in my head. After troubleshooting both the SSP, 24 hours of endurance test was carried out. In terms of safety, I was showed the proper way of dealing with high voltage cables. A practice that should be remembers at all time. Lead-Lag Process was performed on the air compressors. Comp. 1 (Lead) and comp. 2 (Lag) will be running based on the settings set by client. Comp. 1 works as normal while comp. 2 works as a back-up.

Week 9 - 31st May-5th June 2010

On the week 9, I decided to have a walk to module 1 & module 2. Technician, Mr. Sam was performing Ducter and Megger Test on one of the DB. Vendor switchgear came for troubleshooting and testing throughout this whole week. Have a "line walk" with Mr. Florante, piping lead engineer. He is kind to share with me his knowledge although I am from electrical background. Line walk consists of checking the progress on site as well as components of pipes. P&ID are vital in this scope. On Thursday, there will be testing on lighting and socket outlet and I'm glad to be able to participate in it. Mr. Farid gave me a chance to offer testing for client on socket outlet. It went well and the result was good, 33ms (tripping time). A bad news strikes us in the next morning toolbox meeting. Our "anaconda" cable was broken and needed to be replaced. Replacement was carried out with checking the new cable's condition. Resistance and Megger Test were performed. Did some documentation like sorting out all types of motors in all modules together with its voltage, power and current values.
