Site Planning for The Installation of Industrial Generators Part2

This article continues to introduce how to do a good job in site planning for the installation of industrial generators.

Accommodating box

All generators require a container to ensure that all fuel and lubricants are contained and will not leak to the floor or ground. The leaked liquid can pose health and safety risks to your employees, as well as the environment inside and around the factory. Once the design of your concrete mat is determined, it's time to design a suitable container. The design of industrial generator containment includes the following factors:

Size: The water tank needs to be large enough for installation, operation, and maintenance of your generator

Capacity: The fuel tank needs to be able to accommodate the liquid and fuel on the generator to prevent leakage

Strength: The storage tank needs to withstand weight and operating conditions such as vibration, temperature, etc.

Compatibility: The fuel tank needs to withstand the chemical properties of the generator fuel and lubricant

Your generator installation contractor can help you determine the type and size of sealing box that is most suitable for your generator. Consider preparing a storage area for any fuel, liquid, and lubricant you will use, equipped with their respective containers. It is important to review all local laws regarding safe chemical storage and comply with all guidelines on sealing, ventilation, fire detection, and extinguishing.

Site planning

Before creating a concrete foundation for the generator and installing a new generator, the next step is to consider additional site planning requirements. These steps are necessary to ensure that your generator is installed in a safe manner, respecting the health and safety of your employees as well as operators and generator maintenance personnel.

The site planning phase typically includes:

Obstacles: Develop a safety barrier plan to prevent entry into your generator and ensure that regular employees and visitors cannot enter your generator. A barrier can be a fence, fence, pillar, wall, or a complete fence. In any case, you need to install a lock that can only be opened by authorized personnel.

Sound control: Depending on the size and power of your generator, you may need to install sound suppression devices around your industrial generator. Check the local workplace noise regulations to determine acceptable levels and determine if it is necessary to isolate the generator from the building to reduce noise.

Safety alarms and fire detection: Depending on the location where you install the diesel generator, you will need to include various safety alarms and exhaust, heat dissipation, and fire detectors. For safety reasons, relevant laws may also require you to equip yourself with fire extinguishing equipment, such as sprinklers.

These are just some site planning factors that need to be considered before installing a new industrial generator. Complete this step before creating your generator concrete foundation design to ensure that all barriers are compatible with the shape, position, and construction of your cushion foundation.
