Objectives

The primary objective is to ensure the continuous safety, reliability, and accurate calibration of LPG gas leak detection systems across designated commercial kitchen and dining areas at uShaka Marine World. The contract aims to prevent gas-related hazards through proactive quarterly maintenance, timely fault rectification, and responsive emergency support over a 12-month period.

Scope of Work

• Perform four scheduled quarterly services covering inspection, testing, calibration, maintenance, and repair of LPG gas detection sampling systems.
• Service six specific locations: Staff Canteen, Wahooz, Gambit, Functions Kitchen, Cargo Hold (two units), and Centre Court (two units).
• Diagnose and repair faulty components identified during scheduled visits or emergency call-outs.
• Provide emergency breakdown call-out support for critical system failures.
• Issue formal certification after each quarterly service confirming all equipment is safe, operational, and properly calibrated.
• Clearly identify and isolate any unit failing inspection until repairs are completed and retesting is successful.

Technical Requirements

• Demonstrate capability to service specialized LPG gas detection sampling systems, including handling electrical and mechanical components such as PC boards, batteries, fuses, filters, and sampling pumps.
• Ensure all repaired or replaced units undergo rigorous testing and recalibration before returning to service.
• Maintain accurate service records and provide post-service documentation verifying system safety and operational compliance.
• Establish rapid response protocols to ensure immediate on-site diagnosis and restoration of critical gas monitoring functions during emergencies.
• Submit itemised quotations for repairs and parts not covered under the standard quarterly service pricing.

Skills Requirements

• Certified technical expertise in LPG gas detection and monitoring equipment installation, maintenance, and repair.
• Advanced troubleshooting skills for gas sampling systems, sensor diagnostics, and control panel functionality.
• Precision calibration techniques aligned with manufacturer specifications and industry safety standards.
• Proficiency in electrical and mechanical repair procedures for commercial-grade gas monitoring hardware.
• Proven experience maintaining life-safety gas detection infrastructure in high-traffic commercial or hospitality environments.
• Ability to interpret technical manuals, execute approved repair workflows, and communicate system status and safety compliance to facility management.

Explanation of Unusual or Complicated Terms

• LPG Gas Leak Detection System: Specialized safety equipment that continuously monitors ambient levels of liquefied petroleum gas (propane/butane) in high-risk areas like commercial kitchens. It triggers audible/visual alarms and typically interfaces with automatic shut-off valves to prevent fire or explosion hazards.
• Calibration: The technical process of adjusting detection sensors to ensure they accurately measure gas concentrations against known reference standards. Regular calibration is mandatory for regulatory compliance and personnel safety.
• Quarterly Servicing: Scheduled maintenance visits occurring four times annually, encompassing comprehensive inspections, functional testing, sensor cleaning or replacement, and performance verification.
• Emergency Breakdown Support: On-demand, rapid-response service for critical system failures outside scheduled visits, requiring immediate on-site intervention to restore gas monitoring capabilities and mitigate acute safety risks.
