2.2 Project Summary and Project and System Overview

The proposed new Marui Ora Mental Health Unit will be located on the Rotorua Hospital Site
Rangiuru Street, Rotorua. The mainly single level building will consist of lightweight construction
and be located on the south-eastern corner of the site with access direct from Rangiuru Street.
There will be a first-floor plantroom, located above the offices, access to the plantroom will be
from the exterior. The building will have a common fire alarm system, for general and horizontal
evacuation. The building with will be fitted with a type 7 fire safety system, with automatic
sprinkler and smoke detection, manual call points evacuation speakers and strobes.
The smoke detection will be a combination of point smoke detectors and aspirating systems. The
fire alarm panel will be analogue addressable with a mimic and at least two mini mimic panels
with provision for a third.
The Rotorua Hospital has mainly Ampac fire alarm panels and devices. The preference it that the
new Mauri Ora Unit has an Ampac FireFinder Plus panel to enable interface to site network with
other Ampac equipment. or a compatible approved panel. The new panel would need to be
connected the sitewide network via an RS485 loop cable. Allow provision to run a loop cabling
back to the main hospital panel located behind reception in the main building. A network
connection will enable the panel to be monitored from other locations on the Rotorua Hospital
Site.
We propose that the FENZ attendance point be at the front of the building on the eastern
elevation, adjacent to the sprinkler valve room. From the attendance point FENZ will have access
the main building entry and the inlets to the sprinkler system. Access to the attendance point is
from Rangiuru Street, via an existing internal road.
The following fire safety systems will be provided.
• Type 7 - Automatic sprinkler and fire alarm systems to NZS 4541:2020 & NZS 4512 :2021.
• Type 9 – Smoke control on air handing systems, the shutdown maybe either zonal or
complete shutdown. Detectors will be located on the supply side of the AHU’s. A sprinkler
or manual call point activation will mean a complete shut down, but with smoke detectors
zonal control is possible.
Building importance level shall be considered as IL3 for the purpose the determining the seismic
performance requirements of the system. Provide seismic resilience of all pipework in accordance

The following water supply data is from a pressure recorder place on the Rangiuru Street water
main over a 6-day period. From the pressure recorder the main has a static pressure of at least
650kPa.
Flow tests from an earlier project have been included for reference, to indicate the expected drop
off when water is flowing. The results are from 2017 for a section of watermain in Hinemaru Street.
The fire sub-contractor needs to confirm the water supply prior to starting design. A copy of the
results shall be submitted to the engineer for information.
