Tunnel KM24 and KM33
Tunnel KM24 and KM33
This project involved providing fire engineering services for the development of firefighting shop drawings for two tunnels, KM24 and KM33. The primary objective was to prepare detailed drawings for the wet fire protection services in the tunnels. The project aimed to ensure all designs complied with the Local GCC code, NFPA Codes and Standards, and the requirements of the Public Authority of Civil Defence and Ambulance (PACDA).
Project Stages and Services
Aman International Engineering team's approach focused on the following key stages:
Shop Drawing Development
- Comprehensive shop drawings were developed for the sprinkler system and the water spray (deluge) system for the facilities.
- Critical design elements were identified, including connection points to the water supply, system zoning, valve room locations, and hazard classifications.
- Typical installation drawings were prepared for sprinklers, deluge systems, piping, valves, and other major equipment.
Material Submittal Review
- All fire protection-related equipment submittals, such as sprinkler system components, fire pumps, and standpipe components, were reviewed.
- A review comment sheet was provided to the client, detailing any issues that did not comply with the applicable codes and standards.
Quality Assurance
- A quality assurance review of the completed design was conducted to ensure compliance with the requirements of PACDA and other relevant codes.
Project Outcome
The project successfully delivered a complete set of firefighting shop drawings for the tunnels. This provided a robust and code-compliant design for the wet fire protection systems, ensuring the safety of the tunnels' occupants. The final deliverables gave the client the necessary documentation for the installation phase of the project.
