Fire Control Concepts And Design Of Active Wet Systems

The Uniform Building By-Law (UBBL) requires that any building erected must fulfil Part VIII Fire Detection, Fire Alarm and Fire Extinguishment and Tenth Schedule – Table of Requirements for Fire Detection, Fire Alarm and Fire Extinguishment Systems.

Consultant Engineers with practicing certificate must design accordingly hence in this course it would cover the active wet systems only. Graduate Engineers who are unfamiliar with UBBL, fire control concepts and design aspects and this course would provide the foundation of being a Professional Engineer. 

Participants will:

• Understand the Risk Management Process and Major causes of Fire Losses
• Understand the principles of combustion, fire behavior
• Identify the possible causes of fire and explosion (gas and dust) like static electricity
• Minimize these causes and design of active wet systems in case to mitigate the potential losses
• Able to design fire pumps and pipe sizing of the wet systems (jockey and duty pump for hydrant ring main, wet riser, sprinkler)
• MS1910 Fixed Firefighting systems – Automatic Sprinkler Systems Design, Installation and Maintenance, able to design a Pre-Calculated Sprinkler system for Ordinary Hazard and selection of orifice plate
• Understand the difference between Clean and Non-clean gaseous suppression systems and its application
• Able to conduct a fire pump flow test using a Pitot tube and its applicable formula.
