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.
