Introduction
Fire protection system is mandatory for public places like the underground metro
station and provides the necessary safety for people and property from fire at any
place in the station by providing necessary equipment for early detection and
suppression of fire. Also, the fire protection system provides support, in the event
of major fires, to the local fire service for extinguishing the fire.
The system is to cover the entire station, ancillary building and tunnels. It is
interfaced with fire detection and alarm system and BMS as per operational
requirement.

National Building Code of India and ODC.
a) Fire Hydrant and Sprinkler System as per NFPA-14 and 13
respectively.
b) Fire Tanks and Fire Pumps capacity as per NFPA-13 and 14.
c) Portable Fire Extinguishers are provided as per provision of
National Building code of India. The installation is also to have
consent of Delhi Fire Service Authorities.

Design Methodology
4.5.1
The basic design is to ensure that:a) A fire incident doesnt 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 doesnt 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

CONTRACT:
1) Fire Water Tanks (common for hydrants and sprinklers system):The required quantity of Fire Water is established as per NFPA-13 and
NFPA-14.
The tank shall be in 2 halves for ease of periodic cleaning. To prevent
stagnation of water, domestic water capacity is added to these two
halves such that water at higher level is utilized for domestic water
consumption leaving sufficient volume of water reserved for fire
fighting.
The combined Fire & Domestic Water Tanks shall be equipped (in
addition to the provision for automatic level control for water pumps)
to detect low level or high level and to feed signal for alarm at the
pumps panel and also to the Scada/BMS.
2) Hydrants Pumps (1 Working + 1 Standby)
The rate of flow of these pumps is established as per NFPA-14.
Likewise the head of these pumps would be established to provide a
residual pressure of 6.9kg/sq.cm at the farthest and highest hydrant
valve. Calculations for arriving at the required head would be made as
per NFPA-14.
Both the pumps (working as well as standby) shall be electrical as two
independent electric supplies are available.
3) Sprinkler Pumps (1 Working + 1 Standby)
The rate of flow of these pumps is established as per NFPA and ODC of
DMRC. The head of these pumps is established to provide a minimum
pressure of 1.5kg/sq.cm at the farthest and highest sprinkler and 2.3
kg/sq.cm at the farthest spray nozzle.
CONTRACT:
4) Jockey Pumps:
There will be independent Jockey Pumps for the hydrants system and for
the sprinklers system. The head of the jockey pump would correspond to
the head of main pumps for that system. The flow rate of each of these
jockey pumps would be 189 LPM.
5) Main Fire Pumps Characteristics:The hydrants pumps as well as the sprinkler pumps provided are such that
they should be able to deliver 150% of the rated flow at head not less than
the 65% of the rated head. Also the shut off head should not be more than
120% of the rated head.
6) Air Vessels:One air vessel shall be provided in each system near the corresponding
jockey pump. The air vessels would not only reduce the frequency of
start/stop of jockey pumps but, by providing air cushion, would also
reduce the intensity of water hammering.
7) Pressure Switches:Pressure Switches shall be mounted on the air vessels for the automatic
operation of the fire pumps. The pressure settings which are adjustable
would be as under, assuming the working pressure of Hydrants System as
p Kg/Sq.cum and that of the Sprinklers system as q Kg/Sq.cm.

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)

Jockey pumps for the Fire Hydrant and for the Sprinkler system
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
