FAQ- FIRE PROTECTION AND SAFETY DESIGN (FPSD
The objective of fire protection and safety design (FPSD) is to minimize fire risks by preventing fires, detecting them early, effectively suppressing them, ensuring safe evacuation, maintaining structural integrity, and complying with regulations to protect lives and property.
FAQ- FIRE LOAD CALCULATION
Fire load calculation is a critical element in fire safety and risk assessment for buildings and industrial facilities. It measures the total amount of combustible materials within a space, helping to determine the potential severity of a fire. For tanks, fire load calculations assess the fire hazard posed by their contents. These calculations are essential for designing fire suppression systems, evacuation plans, and structural fire protection. They also enhance life safety by evaluating the potential impact of a fire on occupants, factoring in fire growth rates and toxic gas production during combustion.
METHODOLOGY FOR FIRE WATER SYSTEM ADEQUACY STUDY (FWSAS)
The primary objective of a Fire Water System Adequacy Study (FWSAS) is to evaluate the effectiveness, reliability, and sufficiency of a facility’s fire water system. This includes ensuring the system can deliver adequate fire protection in compliance with safety standards, while identifying areas for improvement. The study focuses on assessing whether the system: Provides sufficient water supply and pressure to combat fires, Is reliable, with backup systems in place, Meets local and international fire safety regulations, And highlights deficiencies for potential upgrades or maintenance.
FAQ- FIRE SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT (FSRA)
The objective of a Fire Safety Risk Assessment is to systematically identify potential fire hazards, assess the associated risks, and implement measures to reduce the likelihood of fires. This process aims to minimize the impact on people, property, and the environment.
FAQ- FIRE SAFETY AUDIT
"A fire audit evaluates the effectiveness of fire prevention and protection measures within a facility. It identifies potential hazards, assesses the adequacy of safety systems, and ensures compliance with regulations. The audit also recommends improvements to enhance fire safety, ultimately aiming to minimize the risk of incidents and protect lives and property."
METHODOLOGY FOR F&G
This involves collecting data and identifying scenarios through detailed review of project documents such as Process Flow Diagrams (PFD), Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID), and Plot Plans. It also includes identifying hazardous materials present in the project facility. This step involves conducting assessments to determine the dispersion of flammable gas (at 25% LFL and 50% LFL), fire scenarios (jet/pool fire), radiation distances (12.5 kW/m²), and toxic distances (10 ppm and 20 ppm). The specific assessment criteria will be finalized in agreement with the client. In line with the existing Fire and Gas (F&G) zones, an F&G mapping study will be conducted.
