Title: STANDARD: ERECTION, INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION OF EQUIPMENT

PREFACE
Woodside Energy Ltd. (WEL) has developed a suite of Engineering and Technical Standards
and Guidelines. It is intended that these reflect the most suitable engineering practices for
use on all new WEL facilities as well as the modification of existing facilities. The application
of the Standards is mandatory. The application of Guidelines is to support the
implementation of the Standards, and are considered best practice, but are not mandatory.
The Standards are based on the experience acquired by WEL personnel and contractors
during WELs involvement with the design, construction, operation and maintenance of WEL
processing units and facilities. Where appropriate, the Standards are based on or make
reference to national and international standards and codes of practice.
The objective of this publication is to ensure the overall integrity of engineering design and to
achieve maximum technical and economic benefits through the standardisation of
engineering and technical practices.
The use by WEL contractors or manufacturers/suppliers of the Engineering and Technical
Standards contained in this publication does not relieve them of any responsibility
whatsoever for the quality of design, materials and workmanship that they have been
engaged to provide.
Where the standards to be used for a certain application are not provided for in this
publication, WEL expects that the standards that are used will achieve the same level of
integrity as reflected in this publication. If WEL contractors or manufacturers/suppliers have
any doubt as to the relevant standard to use, then they must consult WEL, however they will
remain responsible at all times for the use of the most appropriate standard. Specific
requirements may be added as an addendum to these Standards and Guidelines for various
projects. Project specific requirements must not depart from the requirements of the
Engineering and Technical Standards contained in this publication. Where changes or
additions to these Standards are required, they must be raised as a deviation and presented
to the WEL Technical Authority for consideration.
WEL grants the right to use these Standards and Guidelines to WELs consultants,
contractors and suppliers who are contractually authorised to do so and to any tier of
contractor to its consultants, contractors and suppliers who are contractually required to
comply with them.
DISCLAIMER
WEL and its joint venture partners disclaim any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage
(including injury or death) suffered by any company or person whomsoever as a result of or
in connection with the use, application or implementation of any standard, combination of
standards or any part thereof contained in this publication.

Wherever possible, seal motor shaft with "Denso" tape. For equipment mounted motors with difficult shaft access, spray
exposed shaft with Shell Ensis 30 (M V, HV).

For air fin cooler mounted motors, check for presence of water on top bearing area (M V).

For air fin cooler mounted motors fitted with "porous drain plugs", ensure passage of possible water out of the motor i.e. do not
cover/seal of the fan air intake (M V).

Seal off all cable gland entry holes to terminal boxes (M V, HV).

Check terminal box(es) covers are bolted down and provide a proper seal, particularly after "megger testing of windings (M V,
HV).

M egger test motor windings intially and at 3 monthly intervals there after. M ore frequent testing if readings are progressively
lower, indicating moisture in the windings (M V, HV ).

For protection against dust and weather treat motors as follows:a. HV motors and large skid mounted motors, cover complete motor with waterproof cover.
b. HV motors, cover and seal-off fan cowl air intake opening (excluding item 3 above).

Connect anti-condensation heater to 240V AC power supply (HV ).

Rotate shaft 2 turns initially and once weekly thereafter (M V, HV ).

Lubricate bearings in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, or in the absence of them. At 6 monthly intervals (M V , HV).
