SCOPE

The coverage of the Course is intended to provide the participant with a practical, work-related and hands-on appreciation of the scope and operation on plumbing engineering services.Plumbing is one of the key components in new project (and in existing building)which is not a glamorous component but is critical to the entire project. The course contents as follows:

It would make reference to a number design guides namely Plumbing Engineering Services Design Guide, BS 6700Specification for Design, Installation, Testing and Maintenance of services supplying water, BS5572 Code of Practice for Sanitary Pipework, MS1402, Code of Practice for Sanitary system in Buildings, MS2015 Public Toilets Part 1:Minimum Design Criteria, Design Criteria & Standard for Water Supply Systems by JKR, Explanatory Handbook on the Water Supply Rules by JKR, etc.

When properly designed and installed, the Building Management would be able to conduct fairly routine maintenance to ensure the system continue to operate effective. However due to shortcomings arising from any of the above plus shoddy workmanship, it would be a nightmare for the Building Management and Property Owner. To trace the source of the water leak during the progress of the project or in a completed building would be unproductive work certainly in completed building it would inconvenient the occupants and if repair and retrofit of pipes required then it would create even more inconvenience.

There now many choices of piping materials which can carry out the same function but there are various determining factors to be considered to zero into one particular type,understanding there factors would be critical hence able to specify the appropriate material. The use plastic piping is a good example in plumbing engineering services and on the surface plastic pipes would assisted in expediting the installation but if installation procedures are not in place andlet unsupervised problems would arise. Furthermore with the introduction of so many types of plastic pipes understanding the characteristic of each is both critical as these are seldom compatible when it comes to joining these pipes or when these pipes are required to interface with other pipes (plastic or metal).

Pumps are inevitable when it comes  to plumbing be it for hot or cold water, the selection of the correct pump would ensure smooth operation of the system without the dreaded water hammer which can be destructive resulting in severe water damage to the property. Water demand is inconsistent hence the use of variable speed drives would the stresses on the pumps.

BENEFITS FROM ATTENDANCE

To some engineers this may be refresher course whilst others may gather knowledge which would help them carryout their duties confidently. With the introduction of more plastic pipe materials and the usage of these pipes are inevitable due to its ease of installation, light weight and probably cost factor, an understanding the various types would be beneficial especially during project management discussion.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Engineers/architect/quantity surveyor/contractors involved in the installation of Plumbing Engineering services. Those without higher education should also attend as the course is more practical type rather than theory. If formulae shown, finding the factors are more important than how the formulae are derived even though these could be explained during the course.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

Ir. Gary Lim graduated from Canterbury, New Zealand in Mech. Eng and obtained his Mgt Dip from NZIM. He had over 30 years of working experience involved in the manufacture of chemicals, diaries, confectioneries, plastic bottles, industrial gases and paints. During his 7 years with the paint manufacturer, he was involved in the process piping design and the fire protection system of the factory. In his capacity as the Production Manager with a MNC diary manufacturer he was involved in Clean-In-Place (CIP) design. He spent the last 11 years with an MNC insurer and was sent to IRI Hartford USA for Fire Engineering course related to insurance survey and the evaluation of hydraulically calculated sprinkler system and selection of Fire pump. The Fluid Laws that govern the sprinkler hydraulic calculation and pump selection is similar to that of Plumbing Engineering in many aspects.

Gary is a Corporate Member of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia and is registered with the Board of Engineers of Malaysia as Professional Engineer. He is also an ASEAN Engineer.In order to keep abreast with the development of engineering in the country, he had been a very active member with the Building Services Technical Division for the past 10 years and is currently the Advisor of the division. He is also amember of the IEM Fire Advisory Board and an IEM representative in the SIRIM Working Group in preparing the Malaysian Standard on Polypropylene(PP) Pipes & Fittings.

Gary had represented IEM BSTD on a number of speaking assignment and received favorable response on his topic and as a speaker.
