 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor IR Wong Siew Sheng and my second supervisor IR
Leong Peng Seng for guiding me these three years as a mechanical engineer. I would also like to thank my
engineering department colleagues for the fruitful discussions and brainstorming, the drafting department for
sharing their knowledge in drafting and administrator department for the managing skills that I had learned
throughout the years. I also want to thank all of the fire contractors and suppliers for sharing their experience on
site installation and product information in this project.
 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This technical report provides information and demonstrate the understanding of the candidate in engineering
knowledge, understanding, and application in his engineering discipline as one of the requirement to underpin
the technical competences required to be a Professional Engineer. This report explains the difference in
requirement for firefighting active and passive design based on different purpose groups. The report clarified that
the active firefighting systems area design according to relevant Malaysian standards It also illustrates the
procedures in obtaining the authority endorsement as a part of requirement of obtaining CCC. This report
limitation is that the requirement for firefighting active and passive for the project in this report only cover a few
of the purpose groups but it will give an in depth understanding on how to properly classify the related purpose
groups and its firefighting system.

and Compliance (CCC).

2.0 AIM
The aim of this technical report is to show the competency of the applicant in technical
engineering knowledge, ethics and regulatory issues.

The objectives for the above aim are:

1. Profound knowledge in engineering standards used and applied.

2. Profound understanding in laws and regulation
3. Understanding proper procedures for CCC.
3.0 PROJECT MANAGEMENT
3.1 PROJECT FLOW
This stage was where the preliminary requirement of
the buildings were being established. Each building
Planning Stage will be crossed reference to Uniform Building By Law
(1 month) according to their purpose group.

Design stage was where MS standards were used in

Design Stage conjunction to the purpose group requirement.
Detail drawings of sprinkler, hose reel, fire alarm, and
(3 month) wet/dry riser system shall be established in this stage
for construction.

The drawings from previous stage will be used to

procure materials to be constructed. Site supervision
Construction Stage is required in order to make sure that the
(6 month) construction follow closely the design drawing. Any
deviation from the drawing shall be re-check with the
standards for compliance.
