After replacing the cooling tower fill, the cooling tower will only be shut down for a short period, typically 14 days, every 12 months to perform basic cleaning as detailed below. If the Contractor’s maintenance requirements after fill replacement are different from the list shown below, the Contractor shall motivate and document the changes for acceptance by the Employer. Flushing of distribution pipes by opening end-caps with full water flow through the cooling tower. The distribution pipes will be cleaned by high pressure water cleaning, typically 400 bar, with a rotating nozzle traveling the full length of the pipes. Inspection of nozzles, cleaning blocked nozzles and replacing broken sprayers. Removing debris from the maintenance access platforms and where possible from the top fill layer. Removing algae & debris from the top of the drift eliminators. If required the drift eliminators will be cleaned by means of fire water, typically 6 bar. For these activities access is required to the top of the drift eliminators by means of spreader boards. Cleaning of the diametral duct and pond. Note that once the modular fill is installed, no access is possible to intermediate fill layers. Generally the Employer will not make provision to gain access to the bottom fill layer during maintenance periods. Refer to section 4.7 regarding maintenance platforms which could limit access to fill from the top. Cooling tower pond outlet screens are inspected several times per week and cleaned when required by observing the differential water level across the screen.
MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY. The goals of safety and reliability within the bounds of sound economics are very important in the maintenance of the elevators and escalators. Anything less than close, efficient operation can result in undue maintenance expense, interrupted operations with severe criticism from an inconvenienced public, possible damage to equipment, waste of costly energy, and, most importantly, possible injury to operating personnel and the general public utilizing these facilities.

MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY. The maintenance philosophy is adopted according to the OEM recommendations for the maintenance of the Gas Turbine Exhaust System. Due to the system being inaccessible for the time that the unit is available to generate a preventative maintenance strategy that is time based is used to carry out routine inspections of the exhaust system. At Port ▇▇▇ Power Station there are three types of routine inspections every 4 months that execute a specific SOW: FOUR MONTHLY ROUTINE SERVICE A DURATION 1.67 FOUR MONTHLY ROUTINE SERVICE B DURATION 1.67 FOUR MONTHLY ROUTINE SERVICE C DURATION 1.67 Each outage is 1.67 days long and provides sufficient time to do a complete inspection of the interior of the Gas Turbine Exhaust System. If any defects or damages are discovered and they are small in nature and can be repaired quickly within the duration of the outage, then they will be performed. If defects discovered are major and require longer duration then the outage is extended or the repairs are planned for next available outage. Minor and major repair works are evaluated on a case by case by the system engineer. There are no spares linked to the Gas Turbine Exhaust System.
