If going out to dimension anything connected to or branching from a pump remember that the pump and or base may not always be square to the surrounding structure. We gather all of our own dimensions. we don’t rely on a survey crew or laser scans. So step back and capture everything around that pump. Obstructions, drains, conduit trays you name it.
If you’re doing a piping reroute or replacement to a pump and the pump itself is getting replaced, WAIT till the new pump is dialed in and completely installed before taking any dimensions.
Obtain cut sheets of the new pump.
If the spools are tricky/ odd degrees coming off the nozzles then see if tack welding the tie in flanges is acceptable for better field fit up as to not put stress on the pump nozzles.
If I can think of anymore I’ll come back and add.
I have to get back to work!
