Assess dismantling, reassembly, positioning, reconnection, repair, retrofit and restart verification against equipment and site conditions.
Retrofit needs can be assessed alongside relocation. Start with equipment condition and relocation objectives.
For a restart in place, inspect existing condition first. For relocation, assess feasibility and the dismantling plan first.
Photograph and identify equipment, retain wiring records and existing drawings, and back up control programs and parameters as applicable.
Define the dismantling scope and confirm protective packaging and responsibilities for lifting and transport.
Check foundations, align equipment and restore piping and electrical interfaces.
Complete cold checks, no-load trials and loaded verification against equipment and process requirements, then compile records and hand over documents.
Confirm the responsibilities of Suneng, the customer and other contractors before work begins.
Assess refractory, heating, electrical and mechanical repair or retrofit needs during relocation. List retained, repaired, replaced and added items before confirming staffing and timing.
| Work scope | Technical & implementation arrangements | Customer & supporting contractor preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment & technical work | Check dismantling, alignment, interface restoration and repair or retrofit scope; define commissioning and acceptance requirements. | Provide equipment information, shutdown reasons, retrofit objectives and known faults. |
| Site & external services | Check conditions and interfaces for equipment positioning, installation and reconnection. | Coordinate old and new premises, access, foundations and utilities; confirm lifting, transport and civil-work responsibilities separately. |
| Staffing & restart planning | Define specialist responsibilities and site attendance against mechanical, electrical and refractory workloads. | Confirm downtime, site contacts, trial workpieces and operators. |
Start with overall equipment photos, the nameplate and shutdown reason or relocation objective. Then add old and new site conditions, dimensions, weight and available downtime.
Equipment checks, measurements to recover missing information, and dismantling and retrofit plans.
Itemize dismantling, lifting, transport, positioning, reconnection, foundations and utilities by each party's scope.
Assess repair and replacement work, installation and commissioning, necessary refractory dry-out, trials and acceptance separately.
If inspection reveals further damage, missing parts or changed site conditions, confirm scope and cost adjustments before arranging that work.
Being able to start does not establish safe production. Do not resume production without inspection and clearance.
Shutdown reasons, last operating conditions, fault records and repair history.
Foundations, supports, connections and positioning after relocation.
Refractory damage, moisture exposure and furnace-door seals.
Heating equipment, utility piping and associated protection.
Wiring insulation, temperature measurement and protective responses to abnormal conditions.
Drive mechanisms, circulation systems and connections.
Electrical resistance, gas-fired and protective-atmosphere furnaces require different checks according to their configuration. Wet, repaired or rebuilt refractory also requires review of drying, curing and dry-out conditions.
After inspection and rectification, verify progressively and clear each stage before proceeding.
Before heating, check structures, wiring, mechanical movements and safety protection functions.
Record: Inspection & rectification records
Without production workpieces, check heating, circulation, drives and protective actions.
Record: No-load trial records
Verify equipment and process requirements with agreed workpieces, loading and process conditions.
Record: Loaded trial records
| Verification item | Acceptance basis | Required record |
|---|---|---|
| Safety & movements | Applicable safety requirements and confirmed interlock, protection and mechanical movement requirements | Functional check records |
| Temperature & measurement | Agreed operating conditions, measurement methods and technical requirements | Temperature and uniformity records |
| Workpiece trials | Agreed materials, loading, processes and inspection requirements | Trial & inspection records |
Specify checks for the actual equipment and process; no-load results cannot replace loaded verification.
Original settings provide a starting point. Relocation may change alignment, piping, circulation and temperature measurement; verify them again at the new site.
Start with photos and the nameplate, then assess whether measurements or document recovery are needed.
Separate technical preparation and procurement, site dismantling and rectification, and trials and acceptance. Confirm downtime against equipment condition, spare parts, foundations, utilities and any required refractory dry-out; lifting or transport time alone is insufficient.
You can describe both needs together. List retained, repaired, replaced and added items, then check the interfaces between dismantling, retrofit and restart verification.
Define inspection and technical preparation, dismantling and transport, installation and reconnection, repair and retrofit, and commissioning and acceptance separately. Dimensions, weight, transport distance, foundations and utilities affect cost. State responsibilities for lifting and transport in the quotation.
Assess the structure, safety systems and process suitability before deciding on repair, retrofit or replacement.
Start with overall photos, the nameplate and the shutdown reason or relocation needs.
Drawings, program backups and historical records can follow.
