Hi,

I just have some issue regauring the access distance
required for maintenance for pump discharge piping. As shown in the
attached drawing, there is a guide just after the pump nozzle in
discharge piping. the distance of guide from pump foundation is about
200 mm. I just read somewhere that minimum access of about 950 mm
around any rotating equipment. the distance available is 500 mm
instead of 950mm. All pumps and piping has already been installed. Do
u know any way to provide this access? We cannot move the pumps. This
has been been done by some previous designer. I need to provide any
alternative way around. i only way i think is to remove the guide
then access will be 1000 mm. But i think that guide is must after pump
discharge nozzle. What do u think? Du u have any alternative proposal
in that case based upon ur experiance?
The image is shown as per following link
