4.5 Design Methodology

4.5.1 The basic design is to ensure that:-

a) A fire incident doesn’t occur, by eliminating use of combustible materials in the construction work so that the fire load is minimized. Also electrical distribution system/circuitry is designed so as to minimize the incidences of ‘Short Circuits’- the most common cause of igniting fires.

b) Early detection and warning :- If at all fire takes place there will be an elaborate ‘Fire Detection & Alarm System’ to enable the concerned people to get early warning and to locate and kill a fire in its incipient stage itself.

c) First Aid Fire Extinguishment: - There would be first aid fire fighting equipment like Portable Fire Extinguishers and First Aid Hose Reels which can be operated by station staff (i.e. not necessarily by Professional Fire fighters). These equipments are being provided in easily accessible locations all over the Station Box. The basic strategy is to see that a person doesn’t have to walk more than 30m to reach Portable Fire Extinguishers or First Aid Hose Reel, which all will be placed in conspicuous locations.

d) Should the fire not be controlled by first-aid fire fighting equipments, built-in comprehensive fire fighting measures will be provided in the form of Automatic Sprinklers/Spray Nozzles and Fire Hydrants. Automatic Sprinklers would be provided in all fire prone areas including Escalators, Refuge/Garbage Room etc. These sprinklers would burst (on reaching a predetermined temperature) spraying water on the fire below extinguishing it. For fires on board the Train, Fixed Spray Nozzles would be provided below the Platform Sill at every 2.5m. These spray Nozzles would be activated through a motorized Valves (with remote operation) spraying water in the undercarriage area (the most fire prone part) of the Cars.

e) Hydrants to be operated by Delhi Fire Service or by trained staff of the station would be provided in easily accessible locations so that no part of the station box is more than 30m away from a Hydrant Valve. Fire hoses with couplings and Branch Pipes would be provided in a Hose Cabinet placed in a handy location near every Hydrant.

f) In areas like Auxiliary Sub-stations, where permanent and extensive damage may occur due to water spray, Inert Gas Flooding to extinguish the fire would be provided. The Inert Gas Flooding System would be designed to reduce the concentration of oxygen in the protected room to 12.5% i.e. well below the combustion sustaining

limit. There would be pre-warning signal for the Occupants to evacuate before gas flooding takes place. ‘Abort’ switch shall also be provided to abandon the ‘Gas Flooding’ in case of a false alarm.

g) While the various passive fire protection & life safety measures like use of non-combustible materials in construction, compartmentation, smoke/fire check doors etc; fire detection and alarm system; smoke ventilation and emergency evacuation of people etc. are dealt with elsewhere, this Chapter of the Report mainly focuses on active fire fighting measures as enumerated in para 4.2 above.

4.5.2 Category of Hazard: For an underground station with construction of non-combustible materials and stack height in store rooms not exceeding 2.40m, category of fire hazard as (Ordinary or Medium Group-1) is perceived.

4.5.3 Extent of Fire Protection Systems: In addition to an elaborate Fire Detection & Alarm System (fully described in Chapter 5 of this Report) for early detection and warning the underground stations of Delhi Metro-Phase-II are being provided with the following fire fighting systems.

i) Hydrants & Hose Reels Systemii) Automatic Sprinklers / Spray Nozzles Systemiii) Inert Gas Flooding Systemiv) Portable Fire Extinguishers

Codes being followed:

As already stated in para 4.3 the primary code followed in the design of fire protection systems is NFPA-130. The codes being followed for individual fire protection systems are also shown in para 4.3. Other NFPA codes would be followed as may be relevant.

Further the standards or regulations/rules of all local authorities would be followed, where they are relevant. These include

4.6.0 Design Calculations:-

Design Calculations for sizing of various Equipments/Sub-Systems are given below:-

4.6.1 Calculations for determining the size of Fire Water Tank: (Common for both Hydrants and Sprinklers System)

Rate of Fire water supply required for Hydrants/stand pipes (as per NFPA-14; 500 usgpm for the hydraulically most remote standpipe and 250usgpm for the second standpipe (500+250= 750usgmp)

750usgpm = 2839lpm (A)

Rate of Fire water supply required for sprinkler system

2839 LPM (B)

As the U/G Stations are equipped with partial automatic sprinkler protection, hence as per para 5-9 1.3.2 of NFPA-14 the flow rate of both the system is to be arrived at by adding to the flow for Hydrants (A) and the flow rate of both the system is to be arrived at by adding to the flow for Hydrants (A) and the flow rate for sprinklers (B) or for ordinary hazard occupancy 500 usgpm (C), whichever is less. As (C) Is less than (B), the required flow rate for both the system

= (A)+(C)= 1250 usgpm= 4731.3lmp (D)

As (A)+(B) is more than (D), we adopt the value (A)+(B)As per chapter 9 of NFPA 14, para 9.2, the water supply for a class III system (hydrants) should be sufficient to provide demand for atleast 30 minutesi.e. 750 x 30 = 22500 U.S. Gallons (E)Further, the water supply duration of atleast 60 minutes is to be provided for the sprinkler/water spray systemi.e. 400x60= 24000 U.S. Gallons (D)Total minimum water supply required for Fire Fighting Systems

(D) +(E)= 46,500 U.S. Gallons= 1,76,002 lit.(say) 200,000lit.

Size of Fire Water Tank selected 200,000lit. i.e. 200cu.m(The tank would be in 2 halves for ease of periodic cleaning.)

10

Page 11: Design Report (HK)

FINAL DESIGN - E&M SERVICES CONTRACT: BADD4(A)

4.6.2 Calculations for Fire Fighting Pumps selection

Fire Water Pumps would consist of following pumps at each station.

1 Fire Hydrant Pumps (1 working + 1 standby)

2 Fire Sprinkler Pumps (1 working + 1 standby)

3 Jockey pumps for the Fire Hydrant and for the Sprinkler system

4.6.3 Fire Hydrant Pumps Capacity

Criteria -1

As per NFPA-14 the minimum flow rate for the hydraulically most remote stand pipe shall be 500 gpm(1893 l/min). The minimum flow rate for the second stand pipe shall be 250 gpm(946 l/min) per stand pipe.

As per layout drawings two stand pipes have been considered. Therefore as per above clause 1893 l/min shall be taken for the most remote stand pipe and 946 l/min for the additional stand pipe. Thus the capacity of fire hydrant pump = 1893 + 946 = 2839 l/min

Criteria-2

As per ODC Fire Pumps are required to deliver water at sufficient pressure to ensure a hydrant pressure as per NFPA 14 at the furthest hydrant with a flow of 2,400 l/min.

Comparing the above two criteria on the capacity of the Hydrant Pump is established at 2839 l/min

4.6.4 Fire Sprinkler Pumps capacity

The capacity of fire sprinkler pump shall be determined from the area density cuves of figure 5.2.3 in accordance with the method of 5-2.3.2 of NEPA. –13. (2007)

11

Page 12: Design Report (HK)

FINAL DESIGN - E&M SERVICES CONTRACT: BADD4(A)

The biggest consumption of sprinklers fire water is under the platform edge for the protection of rolling stock. No. of Medium Velocity Spray Nozzle = 72 (at intervals of 2.5 M for a platform length of 180 M.).

Area covered by Spray Nozzles = 2.5 M x 180M = 450 Sq.m = 4842sq.ft

Commodity classification as already established in the basis of design =ordinary hazard-1

From the density/area curves figure for the said commodity and assumed maximum area of operations (AMAO) of 4000 sq.ft. Same calculations would apply for all 9 underground stations of the CS-QM Corridor. The density would be 0.10 USGPM per Sq.ft i.e. maximum discharge =400x0.1=400usgpm =1514lpm.

So total required capacity = 1514lpm min. as per NFPA-13 (2007).

As all the 72 nozzles would operate simultaneously through a Motorised Valve the max. area of operation is to be assumed at 4842 sq.ft and so min. capacity of Sprinklers Pump required = 4842x0.1usgpm = 1832.7lpm.

However, to maintain symmetry with the Hydrants Pumps, Sprinklers Pumps of 2839lpm are selected. (Thus many spare parts would be inter-changeable.) Thus the capacity of the fire sprinkler pump selected is at 2839 l/min.

4.6.5 Jockey pump for Hydrant and Sprinkler system

Selection of capacity of jockey pump is based upon the required capacity of Hydrant and Sprinkler pumps

Hydrant pump capacity = 2839 l/min

Sprinkler pump capacity = 2839 l/min

The capacity of Jockey Pumps should be able to take care of minor leakages of the systems or min. 3%/max. 10% of the installed capacity of Main Pumps. We settle at an average figure of 6.5%.

for hydrant system = 2839 x 6.5% = 184.95 l/min

for sprinkler system = 2839 x 6.5% = 184.5 l/min

12

Page 13: Design Report (HK)

FINAL DESIGN - E&M SERVICES CONTRACT: BADD4(A)

We have chosen pump capacity of 189 l/min which is the nearest pump capacity as per table 2-20 of NFPA 20

Thus, capacity of the jockey pump for hydrant & sprinkler system is established at 189 l/min

13

Page 14: Design Report (HK)

FINAL DESIGN - E&M SERVICES CONTRACT: BADD4(A)

4.6.6 Selection of Fire Pumps delivery pipe line sizes

The delivery pipe line internal dia, calculated under different criterion and the height size arrived at is selected.

4.6.7 For fire hydrant pumps delivery pipe line

Criteria-1

As per table 2-20 of NFPA-20 The minimum size of discharge pipe for 2839 1/mm flow is 150 mm.

Criteria-2

As per ODC pipe size for fire main shall be 150 mm = 150 NB

Criteria-3

As per Table 5.7 of NFPA-14 (2007) for flow of 2839 lpm the minimum pipe size shall be 150 mm if the distance of piping from the farthest outlet is more than 100 ft. (30.5 m) .

Criteria-4

Velocity for of 2839 1/min (for a 150 NB (154.4 mm I.D.) Pipe.

= 2839x4 = 2.53 m/Sec 1000x60xx(0.154)2

Which is acceptable (as per TAC Guidelines being between 2.5 to 3.0 m/sec.)

Hence pipe diameter for Hydrant pump delivery lines of 150 NB isselected.

14

Page 15: Design Report (HK)

FINAL DESIGN - E&M SERVICES CONTRACT: BADD4(A)

4.6.8 For fire sprinkler Pumps delivery pipe line

The diameter is selected on the following basis

Criteria-1

Pipe schedule procedure as suggested in NFPA-13 (2007) clause 6.5.3.2 and Table 6.5.3.2a. As per this reference for more than 100 sprinklers required pipe diameter = 125 NB.

Criteria-2As per table 2-20 of NFPA 20 the minimum size of discharge pipe for 2839 1/min flow is 150 NB.

Criteria-3

Same as in the case of criteria – 4 of 4.6.7

Hence selected pipe diameter for Hydrant Pump delivery/main line is 150 NB

4.6.9 Calculations for Pumps Head selection

a) Fire Hydrant Pumps

As per clause 5.7 of NFPA 14 stand pipe system shall be designed to provide the required water flow rate at a minimum residual pressure of 6.9 bars at the outlet of the hydraulically most remote 63.5 mm hose connection

As per the layout drawings the hydraulically most remote hose connection is of double headed landing valve located in tunnel. Maximum flow of 2 Hydrants Valves operated simultaneously =2x250usgpm= 1,892 lpm.

Pipe diameter as already established = 150 mm NB

From Hazen William's chart it can be found that 150 NB dia pipe (I.D. 154.4 mm) would convey 1892 l/min flow with a head loss of 2.10 m per 100 m run.

Total developed straight length between pump room and double headed landing valve and the equivalent pipe length of valves and fittings as per table

Total developed straight length between pump room and double headed landing valve = 405 m (upto north end of station) + 650 m ( towards Green Park inside the tunnel) = 1055 m

Total equivalent length of pipe line = 1055 + 136.35 = 1191.35 m

Frictional head loss = 1191.35 x 2.10 100 = 25.01 m

Gravity Head gain = 19.25 m

Net head required = 69 + 25.01 - 19.25 = 74.76 m.

16

Page 17: Design Report (HK)

FINAL DESIGN - E&M SERVICES CONTRACT: BADD4(A)

Thus the selected head for fire hydrant pump is established as 75m.

Page 18: Design Report (HK)

FINAL DESIGN - E&M SERVICES CONTRACT: BADD4(A)

b) SPRINKLER PUMPS

The discharge pressure of pump is selected as 56m, as under

The hydraulically most remote Sprinkler is the farthest Spray Nozzle under the Platform edge.

It has already been established that rated flow of the Sprinklers Pumps which also feed the Spray Nozzles (through a motorized valve) = 2839 lpm.

To utilize full capacity of Sprinklers Pump the target Discharge from the farthest spray nozzle = 2839 = 39.43lpm

72

For uniform distribution of flow from theses Medium Velocity Spray Nozzle, Nozzles of minimum orifice dia (6.0 mm) having K factor of 26 are selected. Thus pressure required at the base of the farthest spray nozzle

(Q/K)2 = ( 39.43/26) 2 = 2.3 bar = 23.0 m of water column.

Station : Hauz Khas

Equivalent pipe length of valves and fittings of 150 mm dia.

Total developed straight length between pump room and Motorized Butterfly valve = 120 m

Total equivalent length of pipe line = 120 + 106.53 = 226.53 m

From Hazon Williams chart it can be found that frictional head loss in 150NB (I.D. 154.4mm) while conveying a flow of 2839 lpm is 3.57 m per 100m,

18

Page 19: Design Report (HK)

FINAL DESIGN - E&M SERVICES CONTRACT: BADD4(A)

So Frictional head loss in pipe line ( upto Motorized Valve)

= 226.53 x 3.57 100 = 8.08 m Friction Head loss from Motorized valve to the farthest sprinkler

= 11 m (See Para 4.6.10 )Min. Head required at the farthest sprinkler = 23 m

Gravity Head gain = 18.45 m

Minimum head to be developed by Sprinkler pump = 23 + 8.08 + 11 – 18.45

= 20.63 m. To maintain uniformity and interchangeability; Head of 56m, which is also a popular size as per TAC, is to be preferred, however, Orifice Plate of suitable bore are to be provided at various levels/ branches to reduce the pressure to desired levels and also for better pressure balancing.

Selected Pump Head for Sprinklers Pumps = 56 m
