Repairing of Building Services Engineering Systems

Rak-43.3313 Repair Methods of Structures, exercise (4 cr)

Esko Sistonen

Some basics...Demolition work from the top downwards; HVAC repair vice versaVentilation: from negative pressure to overpressure Cleanliness of bag filter and heat exchanger: supply, exhaust, outside, and waste air duct Technical systems: ground loop heat pump systems,..

Some basics...Planning before repair action

Sound absorber

Cold (blue) and warm (red) water supply

Sewer pipe

Pipes (white) from boiler and groundloop heat pump Floor heating pipes

Technical room

Water leak of wall sump Re-insulated water pipes

Dirty exhaust outlet

Water leak of storm water drainage from flat roof 

Water shut off valves -> asbestos, mould

District heating system

Water leak of cast iron drain pipe Heat distribution room

Insulation groove in suspended ceiling

Inspection panel of waste sump

Minor water leak of old drain pipe

Water leak of hot water heating system

HVAC Repair Works• duct work• machinery installations• insulation work• terminal installation• control and monitoring work• non-sewers• floor drains• the heat distribution room• pipe installation• heating coil installation• water and sewer fitments

Installation of lining hose into air shaft of natural ventilation

From natural ventilation to exhaust ventilation

-Bathrooms made of metal plates-Repair of plastic drain pipes

Alternative water and sewer pipe repair methods*renewal of the whole piping system-requires the demolition work of structures (structures of channels)-takes-6mths – interference for users (water breaks, toilets, showers, common areas or containers)-dust, noise-the end product is known: the pipes are new*pipe coating-tube in tubecoating with epoxy-fast – a bit interference (takes up only 2 days)-no noise-durability of app. 20 years of experience in Western Europe, for a longer time period-Insurance companies does not necessarily give an age reduction-the coating is also possible for a warm and cold water pipes
