4.2.2.1 Solar hot water Generation
 As per Neom report solar system to be considered for 75% of hot water generation, rest 25% of
water will be generated through calorifier which is fitted with heating coil element. This is as per
sustainability point of view.

 Solar thermal hot water systems generate hot water by absorbing energy radiated from the sun
within a solar collector. This energy generates heat that is used to produce hot water from the
solar panels. A solar fraction of 100% will be considered in the summer. In winter, solar radiance
will drop by approximately 35%, which will be supplemented by Electric backup.
 There are two types of collectors for solar thermal hot water systems:
 a. Evacuated tubes - The evacuated tube collectors may not be suitable for the high ambient
temperature conditions prevalent in middle east, and there will be overheating issues during the
summer.
 b. Flat plate solar collector - Flat collectors will offer better overall efficiency and maintainability &
being commonly used at Saudi Regions.
 Flat plate collectors consist of a copper riser tube structure fitted to a flat absorber plate. The
absorber plates are highly efficient and are made of specially designed solar absorption material
such as Tinox or black chrome. The absorber plate on standard flat plate solar thermal collectors
is generally black in colour. The black surface is most efficient at absorbing solar radiation and
converting it to heat. It is also highly efficient at reradiating long wave infrared heat back out. The
collector structure is manufactured from stainless steel or anodised aluminium, and the collector
base is manufactured from weather-resistant aluminium or galvanised sheet with 35mm glass
wool rear insulation. The glass cover is highly transparent, made from low iron, tempered glass.
4.2.3 Water Saving Methodologies

Design Development of Public Health Engineering will take into cognizance sustainable water saving
practices as per LEED guidelines. Reduction of indoor water saving will be achieved by installing
following:
 Reduction of Indoor Water Demand -Selection of water efficient Low Flow Plumbing Fixtures &
Fittings by Architect. Re-use of treated gray water for floor mopping, cleaning etc
 Reduction of Outdoor water Demand- Can be achieved by sustainable irrigation method like
secondary drip irrigation
 Smart Water Metering
 Energy saving kitchen appliances
4.2.4 Washdown Water Supply

Wash water will be provided for floor mopping/cleaning for the facilities. Washing in the areas will be
provided by hose bibs @ 1.5 Fixture unit loading. Hose bibs will be suitably located for cleaning
purpose & will be in cognizance with Architectural Floor plans.
4.2.5 Sanitary Drainage
 The building drainage system will be two pipe system, one soil pipe collects the drainage
discharge from (W.C & urinal) and waste pipe collects the waste from the lavatories, wash
basins, floor drain & showers. Black water and gray water will be disposed to nearby lifting
station and then will be pumped to nearby external tie in at the project boundary.
 Utilizing connected drainage fixture units (DFU) and any continuous flow demands is a common
method for sizing waste piping systems
 Vent pipes will be used to vent all the plumbing fixtures & traps.

 The minimum slope of horizontal waste pipes shall be 1:100.
 Condensate drain from all indoor AC units, roof package units and large air handling units will be
collected through a network of pipes (insulated where pipes exposed in airconditioned areas),
indirectly connected to the nearest floor drain lines with a 25mm air break and through a properly
sized water sealed trap. Wherever, it’s not feasible to connect nearest floor drain, shall be
disposed to external pit which will be filled by gravel. Condensate drainage horizontal slope will
be 1 percent in accordance with SBC 701, clause 314.1.
 The drainage from the trench serving the generator room/transformer room shall be connected to
oil interceptor located with the site. Same will be manually cleaned from time to time.
 In places with emergency eye wash and safety showers are shown; waste water will be
discharged to Industrial waste water external network through linear drains provided in the
workshops.
 All other Eye wash provided other than the above are self-contained bottled type and does not
require drainage facility

5.4 Automatic Sprinkler System
Automatic sprinkler system will be designed based on NFPA-13 standards.

Architectural floor layouts are in progress, hence as part of 3A design development, concept demand
for fire water is calculated based on sprinkler design density as indicated in Table below. Same
design will be subjected to specialist FLS approval before proceeding for Detail Engineering stages.
5.5 Stand Pipes
Internal Hydrants or Stand Pipes will be proposed as per requirement of NFPA-14. Type of standpipes
will be as follows,
a) Class II Standpipe system for buildings less than 60m deep
b) Class III Standpipe system for buildings more than 60m deep
Class I standpipe system shall provide 2-1/2” (65mm) hose connections with 250 gpm flow at 6.9 bar
pressure to supply water for use by fire departments and those trained in handling heavy fire streams.
Class II standpipe system shall provide either 1-1/2” (40mm) hose station with 100 gpm flow at 4.5 bar
pressure to supply water for use by trained personnel or a hose connection for the fire department
during initial response.
Class III standpipe system shall be combined of class I & class II hose connections to supply larger
volume of water for use fire departments and those trained in handling heavy fire streams.
5.6 Fire Water Demand
Water will be made available to all the buildings within proposed Oxagon Port development from fire
water infrastructure ring main at desired flow & pressure. Among all the buildings within the facility,
Logistics & Container Warehouses will have highest fire demand. Fire demand for both the ware
warehouses is dealt in a separate report for warehouse.
NFPA-14 will be analysed for Stand Pipe calculations. Water ring main for stand pipe system will be
separate than sprinkler system. Most stringent flow & pressure between both sprinklers & stand Pipe
will determine the water requirement for respective building.
5.7 Portable Fire Extinguishers
Portable fire extinguishers for the proposed facility shall include: -
 ABC store pressure powder type fire extinguisher – for A class (paper, wood, cloth), B class
(kerosene, paints, petrol), C class (compressed gas, electrical & electronic equipment).
 CO2 type – for Class C type fires involving energized electrical equipment, dedicated electronic
equipment.
 Foam type fire extinguisher – for fire involving flammable liquids.
 Water type fire extinguisher – for Class A fires.
 Sand buckets with hood.
 Portable fire extinguishers shall be installed at not more than 1.5 meters from finished floor level.
 All the fire extinguishers shall be UL/FM Approved or LPCB.
All portable fire extinguishers shall be strategically located depending upon the hazard. The
extinguisher shall be clearly accessible and shall be placed inside every room/compartment
if required.

5.8 Gas Suppression System
Wherever water-based fire protection will not be applicable like server rooms, UPS/Battery rooms,
ELV rooms, Telecom rooms, electrical fire locations, it is proposed to suppress fire through gas
flooding system that are affordable as compared to the loss of high-value assets. Gas flooding system
is non-conductive and non-corrosive, so it's safe to use around all types of electronics, electrical
equipment.
The design and installation shall be made in accordance with the drawings, specifications, and
applicable, NFPA 2001 and 72. All equipment and devices used shall conform to the requirements of
either the Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) Approval List or the Factory Mutual (FM) Approval Guide.
The system shall be 50 bar and above and should be UL listed and FM approved with CCOE
approved seamless cylinders produced by one manufacturer of established reputation and experience
who shall have produced similar apparatus for a period of at least two (2) years
