GENERAL NOTES

 N/
A
Description Remarks

Calculations shall be prepared before any design work

After selecting the Mechanical capacity for equipment, electrical data has
the first priority and to be handed over to electrical Department

All architectural plans shall be revised form Mechanical point of view as

soon as it is received from the Architect.

All requirements, Design stages shall be according to the prepared

calculations

Shaft coordination shall be done with other MEP systems.

MEP REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST

 N/A Description Remarks

Fire Water Tank as per QCD requirements

Fire water tank is 2 compartment

Type of the tanks shall be specified (GRP, Concrete, Sectional) means of

access, proper ventilation, equalizing valves, overflow pipe, vents, water
level indicator and drainage system. Fire tanks shall be provided with
complete appurtenances for maintenance purposes, drains, overflow
pipe, water level indicator, tank access, vents, etc. Ensure the tank has two
equal compartments, all pumps are taking suction from both tank and each
pump can be isolated for testing.
Fire Water tanks & Fire Pump room
Mechanical Pump room shall have as a separate detail with scale of 1:50

Fire Pump room area to be carefully determined according to QCD

requirements and the equipment inside (Main electric pump, diesel pump,
and jockey pump, bulk tank, etc.…)

Tank compartments served by the pump room shall have a common wall

Pump room level shall be lower than the Water tank by 20 cm minimum (for
tank drainage).

Clear height between the water level and the pump room bottom of slab 1 m
minimum (for access door and overflow line).

Pump room shall have double leaf door opening to outside.

 Filling line for Firefighting tanks shall have the same size as KAHRAMAA tie
in Pipe.

Fire tanks shall have the following:

 Drain pit ( usually 600X600X200mm)
 Suction Pipe c/w anti-vortex plat
 Tank drain
 Tank Over flow
 Filling line (c/w float valve and shall be near to the access opening)
 Vent pipe
 Level indicator
 Test and drain pipe

Dimension of the room to verify adequate housing of the fire pump and
related fittings, valves, headers and related equipment complying with NFPA
20 & 22.

Sprinklers inside the fire pump room (if installed below ground level) and
shall be rated as Extra Hazard Group 2.

Sequence of operations for the fire pump and Schedule of Equipment

A testing line shall be provided with flow meter and isolating valve.
Provide details of each component.

Provide a pump room layout with section and elevation detail relative to the
fire water tank. Ensure at least 0.8 meter clearance in every side of the
pumps for maintenance work space.

Ensure that distance between pump flange and suction elbow/tee flange is
greater than 10 diameter as per NFPA 20.

Provide bulk tank calculation for diesel pump.
