FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM

It is not the intent to completely specify all details of design and construction. Nevertheless, the
system design and equipment shall conform in all respects to high standard of engineering,
design and workmanship and shall be capable of performing in continuous commercial
operation in a manner acceptable to the Owner.

27.1

The scope of work includes complete earthwork (i.e. excavation, backfilling etc.) for the entire
buried piping for the system, valve pits and pipe supports for buried, entrenched and over
ground piping.

27.2

Hydrant protection shall be provided for the following in substations of voltage level 400kV. At
least one hydrant post shall be provided for every 60m of external wall measurement of
buildings.
a) Control room building
b) L.T. Transformer area.
c) Fire Fighting pump House.
d)

Stores

e) Transformers
f) Shunt Reactors/ Bus Reactors
27.3

Each transformer and reactor is to be protected by H.V.W. spray type fire protection essentially
consisting of a network of projectors and an array of heat detectors around the system .The
system shall be designed in such a way that the same can be extended to protect additional
Transformer/ Reactor to be installed in future. However, for the purpose of design it shall be
assumed that only one Transformer/ Reactor will be on fire. The main header pipe size in the
yard shall be 250mmNB and the branch to the equipment (shall not be more than 20metres
