Fire Hydrant Designing

Additional Details:
A fire hydrant is an active fire protection measure, and a connection point by which firefighters can tap into a water supply.
The invention of a post - or pillar-type fire hydrant is generally credited to Frederick Graff, Sr., chief engineer of the Philadelphia Water Works around 1801. It had a combination hose/faucet outlet and was of "wet barrel" design with the valve in the top.
Hydrant installation details need to be coordinated among all parties involved at the construction site. If hydrants are being installed in areas to be landscaped or if final grading elevations are not clear, the hydrant design that is specified should easily accommodate placement of riser extensions of various lengths so that the final hydrant installation is compatible with the final grade elevation.
From the standpoint of training and field performance, it is advantageous for hydrant spotting points of reference to be consistent. Also, with respect to taking the hydrant on the left hand side of the street, a mirror image configuration (pumper outlet facing away from the apparatus) will often leave the hookup "short." Unless the hydrant is right at the curb line, the front suction line may not reach the pumper outlet and a more time consuming side hookup will have to be executed. If an engine can't nose up to the hydrant due to parked cars, the 45 degree outlet orientation still provides adequate clearance to extend a hose line between the cars to the engine.

Objectives of Fire Safety and Risk Assessment:
- A Fire Safety and Risk Assessment can provide levels of confidence that the compliance with the benchmarks of National Building Code, 2005 and relevant Indian standards have been met.
- The objective of Fire Safety and Risk assessment is to review the design, installation and maintenance of fire protection systems and equipment to analyze the gap and Risk associated in the requirements of the relevant design, installation and commissioning Standards and all other potential fire hazards.
Scope:
To evaluates the Fire Safety/Risk Practices against applicable National / International standards.
Details:
- Evaluate potential Fire hazard in the premises and suggest suitable preventive measures.
- Checking the adequacy and maintenance practice of the following Fire protection system provided in the premises and Suggest suitable recommendation as per NFPA / NBC / Local Statute / TAC (whichever applicable.)
-
- Automatic Sprinkler system
- Fire detection and Alarm system
- Fire Hydrant system and requirement of Fire pumps and Water storages.
- Fire extinguishers
- Checking the adequacy and conditions of the Fire exit, Fire escape route and access route for Fire emergency vehicle.
- Assess the requirement of Passive Fire protection system like cable pass sealant etc.
- Assessment of Fire safety training level of Security staff, and Facility Management Staff.
- Verification of statutory compliance with respect to Indian Electricity rules. This would include the following
- Compliance to Statutory Rules Applicability of rules (Indian electricity Rules, Compliance to inspector’s reports)
- Physical inspection to identify electrical causes of fire hazards (arc flash, fire in cables/wiring, explosion of batteries etc., overloading of electrical equipment and cables) and to suggest electrical safety solutions.
- Review of protection devices / system of the electrical installation MCB / MCCB for Main Electrical panel and DG Panel, ELCB for PDB and Surge protection device.

Objective of the Project
To identify:
1) Immediate causes
2) Underlying causes / Root causes of the fire incident
Client shall confirm the same or suggest suitable changes, if any Scope of the Project.
Scope of the project includes the followings:
1. Gathering the information:
To find out what happened and what conditions and actions influenced the adverse event.
Note: It is important to capture information as soon as possible. This stops it being corrupted, e.g. items moved, guards/barrier replaced etc. If necessary, work must stop and unauthorised access be prevented.
2. Analysing the information:
An analysis involves examining all the facts, determining what happened and why. All the detailed information gathered shall be assembled and examined to identify what information is relevant and what information is missing. The information gathering and analysis are actually carried out side by side. As the analysis progresses, further lines of enquiry requiring additional information will develop.
3. Identifying suitable risk control measures:
The methodical approach adopted in the analysis stage will enable failings and possible solutions to be identified. These solutions need to be systematically evaluated and only the optimum solution(s) should be considered for implementation. If several risk control measures are identified, they should be carefully prioritised as a risk control action plan, which sets out what needs to be done, when and by whom.
Adverse Event Analysis
*EMT – Equipment, Material & Tools
Standard And Regulations:
To the extent possible the audit will follow all applicable standards (international)
