2. Measure, cut, bend and fabricate cladding sheets as per required dimensions.
3. Install cladding with proper overlapping, fastening and sealing.
4. Carry out cladding work on straight pipelines, bends, elbows, reducers and equipment surfaces.
5. Ensure proper finishing to prevent water ingress and insulation damage.
6. Repair damaged cladding and replace corroded or loose sheets.
7. Ensure sharp edges, exposed joints and loose metal sheets are properly addressed.
C. Equipment & Pipeline Insulation
1. Execute insulation work on:
- API process pipelines.
- Reactors and reaction vessels.
- Heat exchangers and condensers.
- Steam and condensate lines.
- Hot water and chilled water pipelines.
- Thermic fluid lines.
- Solvent recovery system pipelines.
- Utility equipment and storage tanks.
2. Support insulation removal and reinstallation during mechanical maintenance and equipment shutdown activities.
3. Ensure insulation is properly reinstated after maintenance, inspection and repair activities.
4. Coordinate with mechanical maintenance personnel for insulation requirements.
D. Preventive & Breakdown Maintenance
1. Conduct periodic inspection of insulated pipelines and equipment.
2. Identify insulation damage, moisture ingress, corrosion under insulation (CUI) indicators and cladding deterioration.
3. Attend insulation-related maintenance complaints and breakdown requirements.
4. Maintain insulation condition during plant shutdowns and preventive maintenance schedules.
5. Support maintenance teams during equipment inspection and statutory maintenance activities.
6. Ensure timely completion of insulation-related work orders.
E. Safety, GMP & Compliance
1. Follow all plant safety rules, EHS procedures and work permit requirements.
2. Obtain appropriate work permits before starting insulation activities.
3. Follow hot work, work-at-height and confined-space safety procedures wherever applicable.
4. Use mandatory PPE, including safety shoes, helmet, gloves, goggles, dust masks and protective clothing.
5. Ensure insulation work is performed only after obtaining clearance from the concerned maintenance / operations team.
6. Take precautions while handling mineral wool, glass wool and other insulation fibres.
7. Ensure no insulation material, dust or debris enters process equipment or contaminates the manufacturing area.
8. Maintain proper housekeeping after completion of work.
9. Immediately report unsafe conditions, near misses, damaged equipment and workplace hazards.
10. Follow GMP requirements applicable to the API manufacturing environment.
F. Tools, Equipment & Material Management
1. Handle insulation-related tools such as measuring tapes, cutters, shears, hammers, pliers, drills and sheet-metal cutting tools.
2. Maintain tools and equipment in good working condition.
3. Ensure optimum utilization of insulation materials and avoid unnecessary wastage.
4. Maintain records of material consumption and work completion.
5. Inform the supervisor about material shortages and additional requirements.
6. Ensure proper storage of insulation materials in designated locations.
G. Coordination & Reporting
1. Coordinate with mechanical, utility and production teams for insulation-related activities.
2. Execute assigned jobs as per the daily maintenance schedule.
3. Support annual maintenance shutdowns and emergency maintenance activities.
