FIRE FIGHTING & DETECTION DESIGN
Life Safety & Fire Protection
FIRE FIGHTING & DETECTION DESIGN COURSE
Course Overview
The Fire Fighting and Fire Detection Design Course is engineered to train students and professionals in comprehensive life safety and active fire suppression design for commercial, industrial, high-rise residential, and institutional buildings conforming to NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and National Building Code of India (NBC 2016 Part 4).
Participants master building hazard categorization, automatic fire sprinkler layout and hydraulic density calculations, internal/external fire hydrants, landing valves, fire water storage capacity sizing, main/jockey/diesel pump head calculations, clean agent gas suppression (FM-200 / Novec 1230), and conventional/addressable Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP).
What You Will Learn
Hazard Classification
Light, Ordinary, Extra Hazard & NFPA 13/14 compliance rules.
Sprinkler Hydraulic Design
K-Factor discharge, area of operation & pipe branch sizing.
Fire Pumps & Water Static Tanks
NFPA 20 pump head, GPM flow, Jockey & Diesel generator pumps.
Fire Alarm & Clean Agent
Smoke/heat detector loops, FACP panels & FM-200 flooding.
