INSTALLATION, TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

1. SCOPE
This covers the requirement of Installation, testing and commissioning fire fighting system.
2. PREPARATION AND APPROVAL OF DRAWING
On award of the work, the contractor has to prepare shop drawings as per special conditions of
contract and submit to the Engineer-in-charge for approval. The work is to be executed as per
approved drawing. The stage of approval of drawings is therefore very important. All drawings
should be carefully and critically examined before approval. The requirements of various
components of fire fighting system have been described with the components of fire fighting
system. However generally following points are to be taken care while examining and approving
the drawings.
a) Site survey should be carried out in detail.
b) In addition to building plans, layout plan along with landscape plan/horticulture plan and
other services plans should be consulted while deciding route of under ground pipes from
pumps house and around the building.
c) As for as possible, under ground pipe are not to be laid under road, pavement, building and
along open spaces. The locations along road, foot path in earth maybe preferred.
d) The location of yard hydrants, fire services inlet and fire service connection are to be
decided based on National Building code. However necessary adjustments are to be made so
that these components do not become hindrance in vehicular movement and entrance to the
building. Requirement of other building services are also to be given due consideration.
Symmetry should be maintained for aesthetic considerations.
e) Pipe sizes are to be decided in accordance with provision of NBC.
17
3. INSPECTION BY LOCAL FIRE OFFICER AND SAFETY DIRECTOR
After completion of the work and testing to the entire satisfaction of Engineer-in Charge the
installation shall be offered for inspection by Chief Fire Officer or his representative. Testing as
desired by the Fire Officer shall be carried out. The contractor will extend all help including
manpower during testing. The observation of Chief Fire Officer which are a part of agreement shall
by attended by the contractor. Nothing extra is to be paid for testing as above. If required
installation are to be inspected and approved by Director Safety or his authorized representative.
4. COMMISSIONING
a) Flushing the System: - Before commissioning, the entire system shall be flushed to
ensure that any earth/ foreign matters which might have entered during Installation are taken
out. For this, pump may be operated and valves opened at different location.
b) As soon as the work is complete, the system shall be commissioned and made available for
use. Requirement of fire fighting installations is equally important during occupation of the
building. If the building is to be occupied in part, fire fighting system of building completed
shall be commissioned by isolating the system of under construction portion of the building.
c) The fire fighting system shall be maintained and manned from the very first day of its
commissioning.
