 Criteria for selection of Case Study

• World Trade Tower is the tallest building in Delhi NCR

with latest building management and security system.
• The main aim of taking this building was to see whether
the buildings that are being constructed nowadays are
constructed with special attention to fire safety, water
supply and water drainage or not.
• World trade tower being the latest construction fulfills
the need of studying latest high rise building.

 Introduction

• World Trade Tower provides with a five star Hotel and

office spaces in a prime business location in Noida.
• World Trade Tower is also known as WTT , Noida and is
a green certified building and LEED gold rated project
under IGBC.
• The office space for rent in WTT, Noida offers small as
well as large spaces for rent which is around 50,000
sq.ft on a single floor plate.
• Water Supply requirement for office buildings according
to Indian Standard Codes ( ISC ) is 45 litres per head.
Water supply requirement according to building
occupancy of NBC is 20,000 litres.

 CALCULATIONS
• Water requirements Calculation :-
• LPD for UGT calculations, according to NBC, is 45
litres; and no. of people according to occupancy load
are around 4400.
• Hence, no. of persons x per LPD =
• 4400 x 45 = 198000 litres.
• 1000 L = 1 m3
• Therefore, 198000 L = 198 m3
• So considering volume of a tank with height as 1.2 M,
• Volume = L x B x H
• Therefore, 198 = L x B x 1.2
• Drainage Calculation :-
• Calculation for I.C.:- 1st I.C. to be considered
at – 450 mm level.
• 2nd I.C. depth = (distance between 1st and
2nd) / slope.
• (Considering 1:60 slope), 1st chamber is at -
450mm depth and distance between the 2nd
chamber is approx. 12m so 12/60 = 0.2m.
• Hence next I.C. will be at – 470 mm.

• Assuming, L = 2B,
• 198 = 2B x B x 1.2
• B2 = 198 / 2.4
• B2 = 82.50
• B = 9.08 M
• L = 0.5 x 9.08 = 4.54 M.

• Therefore, size of U.G.T. =

• 4.54 M x 9.08 M x 1.20 M.
 Fire And Life Safety Plan System

 Refuge floor, Fire alarms, sprinkler systems, stairwell pressurization are the primary
fire safety systems at the world trade tower building.

Refuge Area

Escape Path

Fire Escape Layout of 4th floor Part-Terrace

Areas of Refuge

 35 floors of tower A and 25 floors of tower B

 4th floor terrace acts as a refuge area.
 It is open to sky which can hold large number
of people, in case of fire, the building
occupants can rush to it from where the fire
fighting team can rescue them.
 Sprinklers.
 Smoke Detectors.
Escape Staircase

 Two escape staircases for each of the two

towers provide for occupant evacuation.
 The staircases are open to sky.
 Staircase Specifications :-

Riser Tread Width of thread

150 mm 300 mm 1350 mm

Pressurization
To protect the staircase and the lift lobby from the smoke during a fire, they are pressurized.
