(一) 其施工单位承建一项南方沿海城市的大型体育馆机电安装工程。合同工期为10个月,于2009年11月1O日开工,2010年9月10日竣工。 该工程特点是各类动力设备包括冷冻机组、水泵、集中空调机组、变配电装置等,均布置在有通风设施和排水设施的地下室。 由于南方沿海空气湿度大、昼夜温差大,夏天地下室结露严重,给焊接、电气调试、油漆、保温等作业的施工质量控制带来困难。 通风与空调系统的风管设计工作压力为1000Pa。项目部决定风管及部件在场外加工。 项目部制订的施工进度计划中,施工高峰期在6~8月,正值高温季节。根据地下室的环境条件和比赛大厅高空作业多的特点,需制订针对性施工技术措施,编制质检计划和重点部位的质量预控方案等,使工程施工顺利进行,确保工程质量。 在施工过程中,由于个别班组抢工期,在管理上出现工序质量失控,致使在试车阶段发生施工质量问题,如通风与空调系统进行单机和联动试车时,有两台风机出现震动大、噪声大,电动机端部发热等异常现象。经调查发现:风机的钢垫铁有移位和松动,电动机与风机的联轴器同轴度超差。 问题 为保证地下室管道焊接质量,针对环境条件编制质量预控方案。
(三) 某电气安装工程项目,业主与某电力工程公司签订了工程项目总承包合同,该工程项目的变压器采用自耦式变压器(容量为800kVA),电动机采用三相异步电动机。 该工程项目的设计单位对变压器的采购编制了采购计划,经业主批准后,由项目经理进行采购。工程监理单位负责对变压器检验的组织工作。变压器运抵施工现场后,进行了开箱验收,经验收合格后,按吊装、吊芯检查、就位、试验、干燥的程序和要求进行安装。变压器安装完毕后,进行了绝缘油的击穿电压试验和交流耐压试验。绝缘油在试验时,温度一直保持在40℃左右,且在清洗注油后即开始加电压试验,变压器安装完成后静止5h再开始进行交流耐压试验。 三相异步电动机在检查过程中经电气试验发现质量可疑。 问题 该工程项目经理部在设备采购阶段的主要任务有哪些?
