Verify all stripped components against the Bill of Materials (BOM). Compile detailed condition reports indicating wear status, repair requirements and replacement needs. Clean, preserve and correctly store all components for reassembly or dispatch. Liaise with Stores / Purchasing to ensure correct parts are ordered or issued. Confirm completeness of parts kits prior to assembly against BOM. Reassemble pumps in accordance with OEM standards, work instructions and best practices. Ensure correct tolerances, fits and clearances during assembly. Perform accurate alignment of all rotating components during assembly. Maintain detailed build records ("build book") including all measurements, clearances and replaced components. Conduct pressure and performance testing in accordance with test procedures and document all results. Ensure all replaced / damaged components are quarantined and handled as per client requirements. Obtain client sign-off on completed rebuild documentation where required. 2. Machining and Conventional Lathe Operation: Interpret technical drawings to determine machining processes, tolerances and material requirements. Perform precision machining of pump components (shafts, sleeves, impellers, etc.). Set up and operate conventional lathes and associated tooling. Conduct pre- and post-machining operations for weld repairs. Machine components to fine tolerances using cutting, grinding, boring and drilling techniques. Trim impellers and balance components were required. Measure and verify dimensions using micrometres, verniers, depth gauges, telescopic gauges and dial indicators (DTIs). Inspect machined and fabricated components for accuracy, fit and compliance with specifications. 3. Fitting, Alignment and Maintenance: Perform precision fitting of bearings include white metal, sheet, roller, ball and tilting pad types. Assemble and install mechanical components ensuring correct fits and tolerances. Conduct pump and motor alignment using dial indicators or laser alignment tools. Perform faultfinding, diagnostics and troubleshooting on pumps and rotating equipment. Ensure proper installation of seals, gaskets and auxiliary components. 4.
