All personnel shall be instructed in the use of and response to fire alarms. They shall be
instructed in the use of the code phrase to ensure transmission of an alarm under the
following situations.
1. When the individual who discovers a fire must immediately go to the aid of an
endangered person.
2. During a malfunction of the fire alarm system.
Personal hearing the code announced should first activate the fire alarm using the nearest Manual call point
and then shall execute immediately their duties. The basic response required by person is transmission.
Wherever a person playing with fire, he should be aware of the safety precautions to be followed.
The fire department shall provide each member with the appropriate protective clothing
and protective equipment to provide protection from the hazards to which the member is
likely to be exposed. The protective clothing and personal protective equipment play
important roles in extinguishing the fire.
Clothing and equipment that maximize worker protection shall be utilized.
Tight fitting clothing shall be avoided. Loose fitting clothing provides additional thermal insulation due to air
spaces.
Flame resistant natural fiber garment shall be permitted to use as a layered system for added protection. The
clothing shall cover potentially exposed areas as completely as possible.
Flame Resistance apparel shall fit properly such that it does not interfere with the work task. The garment selected shall
result in the least interference with the task, but still provide the necessary protection.

In this project the following pumps are provided to cater the following system requirement.
For Wet Riser System
1500 LPM @ 11 Bar Fire Pump Unit of GODWIN UK is provided which consist of
1No. Main & 1No. Standby - Electric Motor Driven fire pump sets along with Jockey pump,
Pressure vessel, Suction & Dischage side valves, Manifolds, Gauges, Pressure Switches &
Common Fire pump controller etc.
For Sprinkler System from basement to 6th floor
3100 LPM @ 2.86 Bar Fire Pump Unit of GODWIN UK is provided which consist of
1No. Main & 1No. Standby Electric Motor driven fire pump sets along with Jockey pump,
Pressure vessel, Suction & Dischage side valves, Manifolds, Gauges, Pressure Switches &
Common Fire pump controller etc.
For Sprinkler System from 7th floor to 14th floor & Terrace floor
3100 LPM @ 5.7 Bar Fire Pump Unit of GODWIN UK is provided which consist of
1No. Main & 1No. Standby Electric Motor driven fire pump sets along with Jockey pump,
Pressure vessel, Suction & Dischage side valves, Manifolds, Gauges, Pressure Switches &
Common Fire pump controller etc.
Fire fighting pumps are installed inside a separate fire fighting pump room in the basement
floor of the building and water tanks are located near to the pumps in the basement.
The delivery pressure of the pumps will ensure a minimum operating pressure of 4.5 bar at
the remotest landing valve. The pressure of fire service main is maintained within the
specified limit by jockey pumps. These Jockey pumps will take care of minor pressure
losses in piping network which is manifested by drop in header pressure and jockey pumps
will be ON/OFF controlled with pressure switch mounted on the discharge header.
If the jockey pumps cannot maintain the pressure and the pressure in the piping system
falls below the set pressure, the motor driven main fire pump will automatically start (This
indicates activation of water based fire protection system). In case the Main Electrically
driven pump fails to start & pressure in fire service main further drops below the pre-set
value, then the standby pump will automatically start. The main / standby fire pump will
continue to operate until they are manually shut off.
2.
Automatic Fire Hose Reel of 30 Mtrs. long is fixed, with in the Stainless steel cabinet which
also consist of Pressure reducing type wet riser landing valves in a separate compartment
at all floors as per the approved drawings. Each Fire Hose Reel are provided with 25mm dia
pressure reducing valve to control the operating pressure of the system as per civil defense
requirement.
The Wet Riser system 65mm dia Landing Valve is also a Pressure reducing type to control
the operating pressure of the system as per civil defense requirement.
A Breeching inlet in a cabinet is provided near to the main entrance for Fire department
uses & connection of fire tenders.
3.
Automatic Sprinkler system is installed in this project as per the consultant & local civil
defense approved drawings. The sprinkler system from basement to 6 th floor is fed by a
separate fire pump unit & riser, the sprinkler system from 7 th to Terrace floor is fed by a
separate fire pump unit & riser. Each system consist of Alarm check valve assembly and its
by pass arrangement, a mechanical gong is provided for each system, The Zone control
valve assembly is provided for each floor to control the system at individual floors, the zone
control valves are located inside a stainless cabinet at a accessable elevation from finish
floor levels.
Upright type sprinklers are provided for car park area & without false ceiling areas.
Concealed Pendent type sprinklers are provided in the ground floor and upper floors were
false ceiling is provided.
The Sprinkler System is an Automatic Detection and Actuation System.
1. In case of fire, the increase in temperature will sensed by Quartzoid Bulb Sprinklers
and will burst when the temperature reaches more than rated temperature of sprinkler
head. This causes the sprinkler pipe water to flow.
2. Due to the Pressure difference, the Alarm Check Valve with trim will open and the
water will flow through sprinklers to spray over the area on fire.
3. The flow switch fitted in the downstream side of Zone control valve will send
the signal of sprinkler system operated to Fire Alarm Panel.
4. This operation of sprinkler results in a sudden drop in the Main Line pressure,
which brings the pumps in to operation to cater the water at required pressure.
5. After ensuring extinguishments of fire, STOP the Fire pump Manually.
4.
High pressure co2 fire suppression systems is provided for the following rooms in the
Terrace floor of Diplomat service apartments as per approved design drawings.
1. Transformer room
2. Generator room
3. LV room
Co2 system consist of fully charged co2 cylinder, manifolds, flexible connectors, vents,
Discharge pressure switch, Piping network & Nozzles, etc. co2 system will be operated
automatically when the fire detection and alarm system provided inside these rooms and
the control panel will energise the solenoid of pilot cylinder to actuate the co2 system.
NORMAL CONDITION:
1. All CO2 Cylinders are kept in fully charged condition.
2. All the Cylinders are connected to the manifold securely.
3. CO2 Pilot Cylinders are connected to the Fire Alarm System.
4. All the CO2 nozzles are connected to the piping.
FIRE CONDITION:
In case of Fire, the CO2 System can be operated in the following manners:
Automatic Operation
The Cross-zoned conventional detectors in the fire area will sense the smoke / heat and send the signal to the
Fire Alarm Panel. Upon receipt of the fire signal from a single zone, the Panel will activate the First Stage
Alarm to alert the people inside the fire area to evacuate. Upon receipt of the confirmation signal from another
zone, the Second Stage Alarms (red flasher) will be activated by Fire Alarm Panel. After 30 sec of time delay
from the second stage alarm, the Panel will operate the actuate the pilot CO2 cylinder of that particular room
co2 main / reserve bank. This pilot gas will actuate the main co2 cylinders and flooded in the rooms through
the nozzles.
