Power Plant Mechanical Maintenance (PPM)

Power Plant Mechanical Maintenance (PPM)

A Mechanical Power Plant Technician performs scheduled preventive maintenance on mechanical equipment in power generation plants. He also carries out field testing with various diagnostic tests and performs plumbing and welding jobs with high quality materials, and executes machining operations on a lathe or milling machine. As a skilled craftsmen, he has the skills in pipe fitting, threading, cutting and anchoring as well as installing and removing blinds and valves. Furthermore, he is able to complete jobs requiring knowledge of the plant layouts and assembly/installation procedures of hydraulic systems and pneumatic systems and dial gauge, laser and pulley alignment.

 

Educational/vocational objectives

The expected PPM educational/vocational objectives are that, upon completing all training courses including OJT the trainee will be able to:

  • Apply principles of mathematics and applied science, to perform technical calculations and solve technical problems of the types commonly encountered in maintenance technology careers.
  • Demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively and function effectively with members of multi-disciplinary teams and with other workers in an industrial setting, including those from different backgrounds.
  • Disassemble mechanical equipment; perform simple repair or replacement of defective parts, such as gaskets, bearings, etc.
  • Reassemble equipment as indicated
  • Perform scheduled preventive maintenance on mechanical equipment by lubrication, minor adjustment and repair.
  • Carry out field testing and fault finding of power plant mechanical equipment. Locate equipment faults and operating irregularities by various diagnostic tests, such as vibration monitoring and temperature probes and measurements and analyses.
  • Perform machining operations on lathe or milling machine, generally under guidance of more experienced craftsman.
  • Perform as a skilled craftsman, jobs requiring layouts, fabrication, assembly, installation and maintenance of piping systems in high pressure service such as gas, steam, water, air, oiled.
  • Fit and connect pipe work on turbines, pumps, exchangers, furnaces, etc. by cutting and threading pipe, making up pipe systems with necessary fittings, anchoring pipe to existing supports, installing and removing blinds and valves
  • Perform plumbing jobs including assembly, installation and repair of pipes, fittings and fixtures of heating, water and drainage.
  • Perform basic welding jobs requiring performance of high-quality alloy welding and fabrication.
