B. Domestic Water:
Treated water from the raw water tank, after over flow from the fire water tank shall be stored in the domestic water tank. The
water supplied by the local authority also, shall be collected in this tank. This will be supplied for all the domestic purposes
such as showers, wash basins and health faucets in all the toilets; in laundry for washing clothes; and for steam generation.
RO/UV units installed at the points of consumption shall further treat the water to make it potable and this potable water shall
be used in the kitchen for cooking and for drinking.
C. Recycled Water:
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) shall be installed to treat all the sewage and sullage generated in the premises of the hotel. The
STP shall be able to treat the sewage to generate clear water which can be used for flushing, irrigation and for HVAC make up,
after further treatment. Provision will also be kept to use domestic water for flushing in absence of or in case of shortfall of
recycled water.

HVAC make up water (softened recycled + treated domestic) 256000.00
We have considered total one and a half day of storage capacity for the entire project including fire fighting tanks
Domestic water:
Water from bore-wells / tankers (raw water) shall be brought to the building at approximately 1 m below ground level in raw water
tank. Water supplied by Municipal Corporation shall be stored in the domestic water tank.
From Raw water tank, water shall be fed to suitable water treatment plant by means of feed pumps and stored in the fire water
tank, overflow of which shall be given in domestic water tank. The treatment for raw water will consist of filtration through
pressure sand filters, activated carbon filters. Water treatment philosophy shall be detailed out based on the chemical and
physical analysis of water from bore wells / tankers. Since the quantity of water supplied by corporation may not be consistent,
we propose to mix water treated water with the water supplied by Municipal Corporation.
Drinking water:
Domestic water shall be treated by UV/RO filters and shall be supplied for drinking and cooking. These UV/RO filters shall be
installed at the points of consumption i.e. all the kitchens and near the central water cooler for the hotel.
Recycled water:
Water treated by STP is termed as recycled water. It shall be collected in the underground tank meant for the same and shall be
supplied to all the WCs and urinals for flushing, and for irrigation. This recycled water shall be further treated for softening and
shall be stored in the soft water tanks. This softened water shall be used for HVAC make up.
Since recycled water supply is less than requirement of flushing, irrigation and HVAC make up, it shall be supplemented with
domestic water. Hence an additional overflow of fire water tank shall be given in the recycled water tank.
There shall be a proper system to receive 15 to 20 tankers daily with well planned entry and exits so as not to disturb the overall
traffic movement within and outside the premises. We also suggest entering into a long term agreement with reliable tanker
suppliers providing consistent quality of water.
Since fresh water deficit is supplemented with bore wells, it is suggested to have a resistively test and hydro-geological survey to
ensure good quality consistent water supply throughout the year. Standby bore wells shall also be planned for the same. The
water received everyday shall be randomly checked for physical, chemical and microbial analysis to ensure that water quality is
maintained.
Similarly, a separate hydro-pneumatic pressure boosting system will be provided near the recycled water tanks to supply flushing
water tank to each facilities. Provision will be kept to feed STP recycled water tank with domestic water to meet the shortfall in
the requirement of recycled water. Small capacity make up tanks, at terrace/roof level, are proposed for domestic and flushing
water so as to ensure continuous flow of water to each facility even during DG change over periods during electricity failures
A separate hydro-pneumatic system shall be installed in the basement near the main tanks, for providing domestic water to
laundry, all the toilets and other requirements in the basement.
From soft water tank, water shall be fed to HVAC make up tank constructed near cooling towers, minimum 1.5 m above the basin,
through a set of transfer pumps (1 W + 1 S) with automatic level controllers. Soft water shall be supplied to the cooling towers
through gravity from this make up tank. Provision shall also be made to supply suitably treated and softened tanker / bore-well
water or domestic water into the soft water make up tank to meet any emergency situations.
From recycled water tanks, water will be fed to all the gardening and irrigation needs with the help of independent hydro
pneumatic pumping system.
Hot Water for guest rooms and other public areas shall be supplied through the same domestic water hydro pneumatic system so
as to ensure equal pressures at the user points. A separate network of hot water supply shall be provided with a provision of
return line and a circulation pump to ensure instant hot water at the user point and minimize the heat loss in the pipe network.
For Hotel guest rooms, the entire water supply system shall be designed to supply water at pressures between 2.5 kg/cm 2 to 4.5
kg/cm2 at the user points. For all the BOH areas, the water shall be supplied at a pressure between 1.5 kg/cm2 to 2.5 kg/cm2. It
shall be ensured that the pressure of hot and cold water remains the same at the user points.
It will be ensured that the same pressure is maintained for hot and cold water supplies at the user points as the same hydro
pneumatic booster system will be used for hot and cold domestic water supply.
Hot water return lines will be provided and a circulation pump will be installed to ensure a constant hot water supply at each
user point.
Steam
It is assumed that the steam requirement is generally in hotel back of house areas, primarily in the laundry for use in flat
workers, driers and presses. It is also required in kitchen and in health clubs.
As it is not advisable to carry high-pressure steam to high levels, use of steam in hotel public areas (for kitchen and health
club) in the building is not contemplated. Thus use of steam in the building is confined to laundry areas only.
Steam Production and Distribution
It is proposed to have two (1 working + 1 standby) no 350 kg/hr IBR steam boilers, with dual fuel burners – Natural gas and
HSD.
Heating medium in the boiler can be electricity, oil or gas. Even though electrically operated boiler is the cleanest, as the cost
of electricity is prohibitive, it is not advisable to use electricity as heating medium. Natural gas / HSD are cheaper compared to
electricity so we suggest using dual fuel burners so as to have a flexibility of using either of the fuels.
As the peak requirement is only about 350 Kg per hour, one boiler will be working continuously and second boiler will always
be in a standby mode giving 100% standby capacity. These boilers will deliver steam to a steam header from which separate
branches will be provided for supply to laundry and BOH areas, If required.
Cold water feed for the boiler will be water having a commercial hardness of Zero (0 to 5 ppm of hardness) stored in feed
water tanks and pumped to the boilers by feed water pumps. Water from the domestic water compartment in basement
softened by polishing softeners to zero hardness will be stored in the feed water tanks and this will be the boiler cold feed.
Steam condensate from equipments where steam is indirectly used will be collected and brought back to the feed water tanks
to minimize heat losses in the system to the maximum extent possible.

2. Dissolved organic components
3. Dissolved inorganic solids of cleaning chemicals
2. Screened sewage is then passed through equalization tank to homogenize the sewage quality and also even out flow
fluctuations and feed sewage of uniform quality at constant rate to subsequent treatment units. Air mixing is also provided
to mix the contents of the equalization tank. A coarse bubble aeration grid is provided to distribute air uniformly at the
base of the equalization tank.
3. After above treatment, raw sewage is fed into aeration basin.
4. In aeration tank MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids) in the range of 12000 to 15000 mg/l are maintained. The high
amount of bacteria gives better and complete removal of organic matter from the raw sewage in relatively small area.
Oxygen required for the bacteria is supplied through the blower. The air is used both for scouring of membranes and
supplying oxygen to bacteria.
5. The filtration is carried out by the suction pump directly sucking permeates water. The permeate water produced is
clear and devoid of bacteria and viruses to the minimum levels.
6. As the membranes are continuously under operation, they are polluted with organic or inorganic substances. Hence,
chemical cleaning is carried out once in two to three months for removing substances polluting and clogging the
membranes. Normal cleaners used are sodium hypo chloride and citric acid.
wastewater can be decomposed in shorter time or in smaller space. This also gives good treatment efficiency and high
stability of sludge, which is easy to dispose off.
4. The quality of treated water in case of MBR is much superior than conventional biological systems. As the membrane
acts as a physical barrier, it does not allow any sludge particles and to great extent bacteria and viruses to pass through it.
Microorganisms like coliform or cryptosporidium can be easily removed in MBR. This increases the reliability of the system
multifold.
5. Conventional biological systems require further costlier tertiary treatment to match the performance of the MBR system.
This may include coagulation, filtration, chlorination, adsorption, UV treatment etc.
6. MBR system has minimum number of treatment units and very simple to operate. It does not require any regular
handling of hazardous chemicals. As the treatment units are less, it is less prone to system breakdowns.
7. As conventional treatment systems require disinfections with chlorine, it needs to be removed completely before
applying on to gardens or for green belt development. Otherwise, high amount of residual chlorine may damage the plants.
Also, disinfection with any disinfectant does not remove organisms, it only inactivates them. The effect depends on the
amount of disinfectant used, the quality of filtration applied, the retention time available for oxidation and the existence or
non-existence of other competing reaction partners (scavenging). As MBR acts like a physical barrier, it does completely
remove bacteria and viruses up to a degree of 4 - 6 log removal (104 to 106 times reduction), independent of type or life
form of organism. It also helps in complete retention of biomass in the aeration basin.
8. As the system has minimum units, it requires less chemical cost and power consumption when compared to
conventional systems.
9. As chlorination is not required, MBR does not produce disinfection by-products or bad odors.
10. The energy consumption of “MBR” is extremely low (0.30 kwh/m3) and the treated domestic effluents has a four
to six log (99.99%) removal of total coliform. The MBR system does not require the use of chemicals, thereby making it
extremely safe during operation and re-use.
Area requirement
Approximate area required for STP will be 300 sqm.
The first option of 100% percolation / infiltration is possible only in the places where dry sub-soil aquifers are available so that the
ground water table is recharged. This option doesn’t give the immediate benefit of water to the society, but over a period of time
maintains or increases the water table of the area.
Second option of storage of rain water and then re-using the same with suitable treatment is more advantageous in the present
scenario where we are facing shortages of water. The stored rain water can be re-used for air-conditioning, flushing and irrigation.
In this case, the initial rains are allowed to drain away in the harvesting well or city drainage so as to clean the storm water
network and achieve clearer and better quality of rain water for usage.
Depending upon the space availability and ground water conditions, we will decide the exact system for rain water harvesting.
The following is schematic list of water management system materials, which we have considered at this stage.
Water Supply Network: Copper pipes shall be used for all internal hot and cold domestic water lines for hotel. C-PVC/PE-AL-PE pipes
shall be used for all the internal flushing water supply lines. Galvanised Iron pipes shall be used for all lines in the plumbing shafts for
hotel. Suitable insulation and protection will be provided to all the water supply lines at terraces and in ducts. Hot water lines will be
suitably insulated to prevent heat losses. CPVC pipes will be used for supply of RO / purified water. On terrace, UV stabilized CPVC
pipes will be used and proper protection will be given.
Sewerage Disposal System: Glazed stoneware pipes and RCC pipes with PCC haunch shall be used for external drainage system
with proper gradient and brick masonry chambers/manholes with CI covers and steps, shall be constructed at all junctions of sewer
lines and at point of change in direction of flow. For vertical soil and waste drainage lines, centrifugal cast iron pipes with drip seal /
lead caulked joints shall be used. For all suspended drainage pipe lines within the building, C.I LA class pipes shall be used with proper
gradient.
Rain Water Disposal System: RCC pipes with PCC haunch shall be used for external storm water disposal system with proper
gradient and brick masonry chambers/manholes with grating / covers and steps at all junctions of storm drain lines and at point of
change in direction of flow. On driveways and landscape areas, properly designed storm water channels shall be provided as per the
landscape features. For vertical rain water down take lines, centrifugal cast iron pipes with drip seal / lead caulked joints shall be
used. For all suspended storm water drain pipe lines within the building, C.I LA class pipes shall be used with proper gradient.
Water Tanks / Pumps: Underground water tank will be constructed in R.C.C. with CI manholes / steps and MS ladders. All pumps
will be vertical / horizontal submersible pumps with control panel and variable frequency driven.
Sanitary Fixtures / Water management system Fittings: Being a high end project, the best quality fittings as approved by
architect will be used. Water saver taps, push type fittings for basins / sinks / urinals, low volume dual flush cisterns will be used to
reduce water consumption.
The details of other water management system materials and finishes will be worked out at the stage of finalization of the design.
1.0 Introduction
The following Fire Engineering Concept report has been produced by M/s. PANKAJ DHARKAR ASSOCIATES for the 5 STAR HOTEL
project at Varanasi. The purpose of this report is to provide the client and the design team with an appreciation of the key fire
safety provisions necessary within the building at this stage in the development’s design. This report will also subsequently be
used for submission to the Chief Fire Officer (CFO) for his consideration when issuing a Final No Objection Certificate (NOC) for
the project.
The overall fire safety concepts for the building described within this report will deal with the means of escape strategy within
the building and the interaction with the physical fire safety features proposed within the building, such as compartmentation
and fire separation. In addition to these elements, the active fire safety features, such as sprinkler protection and smoke
control, will be introduced along with the building’s proposed fire-fighting strategy.
Fire safety systems within the building will be designed to a selection of appropriate standards as indicated below:

The basic parameters for the fire safety design of 5 STAR HOTEL will be therefore be the following local fire safety
codes;
• National Building Code of India Part IV Fire & Life Safety 2005
In accordance with NBC - 2005 5 STAR HOTEL will be classified as Group A6.
The evacuation strategy for the building will be based upon minimizing disruption to occupants in the event of a
small fire incident, or a false alarm, while efficiently evacuating those people who may be in direct danger from the
effects of a fire.
2.2 Staircases
As per NBC – 2005, the escape stairs provided throughout the building will be a minimum of 1.5m each in width.
All stairs serving the basement car park will also be a minimum width of 1.5m.
No exit shall be less than 1000mm except in assembly areas where this is increased to 2000mm

Occupants per Unit Exit Width for Stairs, Ramps & Doors to be applied to 5 STAR HOTEL
All stairs will be physically separated at ground floor level such that each stair is provided with two exits (one from
the above ground floor and one from below).
Escape from the basement car park will be via fire protected stairs which will discharge direct to outside at ground
floor level. All basement stairs will be provided with protected lobbies with 1 hour fire resisting doors.
To enable the basement travel distances to be achieved, more than one entry point into a protected lobby to an
escape stair may be created.
As such, the minimum width of stairs serving the basement car park will be 1.5m.
Note: As the car park is sprinkler protected, NBC permits the car park ramps to be considered part of the escape
from the car park levels - as such, if required, this approach will be adopted if considered appropriate.

between the top of the opening on a lower floor and the sill of that on the floor above shall be 0.9m so that the fire
would have to travel at least 0.9m between storeys. The fire resistance rating of any such construction will be a
minimum of 1 hour.
Figure shows Location of Areas of Fire Resistant Façade Required to Prevent External Fire Spread
The requirement highlighted above is only taken to apply to the building’s external envelope and not within the
central atrium space which passes through the building’s hotel portion. The atrium space will be glazed floor to
ceiling however any areas of fire load (ie. the contents of the hotel bedrooms) are contained behind a 1 hour fire
rated corridor and therefore direct flame impingement (and hence fire spread floor-to-floor) via the atrium will not
occur.

lobby, within a recessed area such that its presence does not reduce the effective width of the escape route. The
provision of a hose reel system within the building is predominately for use by the building's occupants (prior to fire
brigade arrival) and not for use by fire-fighters who will use their own hoses/equipment and the wet rising main
provided in the fire-fighting lobby.
Portable fire extinguishers are to be provided throughout all areas of the buildings in accordance to NBC – 2005.
All parts of the building will be provided with a fully addressable automatic fire detection system and an emergency
voice alarm/communication system or evacuation sounders as appropriate. The design, installation and testing of
the system should be in accordance with NFPA.
The system will be designed to sound the alarm on the floors that require evacuation.
An alternative source of LV/HV power will be provided from either two separate sub-stations or a diesel generator of
adequate capacity for all necessary life safety & fire-fighting systems.
Each storey of the building, above ground level, will either be provided with;
Openable external windows with a total minimum free area of 2.5% of the floor area at that level, with the windows
distributed as evenly as reasonable possible to promote cross ventilation of the floors;
OR
A mechanical smoke clearance system designed to achieve an equivalent level of safety (in this instance extract is
required from the fire floor, or apartment of fire origin, only and not all floors/all apartments simultaneously).
In order to provide a smoke free environment within the basement level, thereby enabling attending fire-fighters to
locate and deal with a incident in a short a time as possible, basement level requires to be provided with adequate
smoke ventilation.
In accordance to NBC basement level should be provided with a mechanical ventilation system capable of achieving
15 a/c hr in ‘normal mode’ increasing to 30 a/c hr in ‘fire mode’.
In addition to the mechanical ventilation described above, also requires that natural ventilation be provided from
each level via smoke outlets around the building’s perimeter.
Various types of CO/multi gas type detectors covering the entire basement will be integrated into the impulse
ventilation system.
All lift shafts will be provided with permanent vents at the head with a minimum clear area of 0.2m2 and will open
into pressurised lobbies.
Lift lobbies internal to the building (both above and below ground) will be provided with a pressurisation system
operated automatically on fire detection (lobbies only pressurised on floor of fire origin).
The philosophy to be adopted for fire-fighting within the building will be such that sufficient internal provisions are
included within the design in order that a ‘relatively’ safe environment within the building can be created, in an area
located near the floor of fire origin, such that fire-fighting activities can all take place internally and that external
fire-fighting is not considered necessary.
2.7.2 Perimeter/External Access
The building requires an open space/courtyard be provided around the entire perimeter of the building, a minimum
of 6m on either side, to allow sufficient Fire Service vehicle access to the building.
The necessity for vehicle access round all sides of the building is based upon the presumption that the Fire Service
expect to be able to fight a fire from outside the building as well as internally.
However, the fighting strategy for the Building is that ALL fire-fighting will occur from within the building (ie. from
the fire-fighting shaft using the wet rising mains etc.). This is the preferred strategy as it is consistent for ALL fire
locations within the building.
Where access to the site for the Fire Service is provided, the minimum width of any gate will be 6m and any
entrance canopy/archway will be a minimum of 4.5m in height. The open space at the entrance to the building will
be paved up to a minimum of 6m from the building and the paving will be capable to supporting the weight of the a
Fire Appliances up to 48 metric tonnes with a point load of 10kgs. Per cm2. The paved space will be free of
obstructions and motorable.
Exit Signs
Self illuminating, electrically operated, exit signs will be provided on all floors and in the basements indicating the
direction of escape.
Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting will be provided throughout the building in accordance with NBC. The lighting will be powered
from a source independent on that for the building’s normal lighting capable of continuous operation for a minimum
duration of 90 minutes.
The lighting will be positioned such that it clearly indicates all escape routes within the building to allow the safe
movement of people in an emergency as well as providing illumination to all appropriate fire safety equipment.
Emergency lighting will be sited to cover the following locations;
Near each staircase so that each flight of the stairs receives direct light
The horizontal luminance at floor level on the centreline of an escape route will be at least 10 lux. For escape routes
up to 2m in width, 50% of the route will be lit to a minimum of 5 lux.
The following areas / services to be minimally provided the passive fire protection system.
The cable ducts shall be sealed at every floor with non combustible materials having the same fire resistances the
fire eating of the duct.
The removable cover in the floors and the access panels shall be of the same strength of the fire rating as the floor
and walls.
Every vertical openings between the floors of a building shall be suitably enclosed or protected as necessary to
provide reasonable safety to the occupants while using the means of egress by preventing spreads of fire , smoke,
or flames through vertical openings from floor, thus allowing occupants to complete their safe use of the means of
egress.
