PHE & Public Health Engineering

PLUMBING & FIREFIGHTING DESIGN COURSE

Duration: 2 - 3 Months (75 Hours) Mode: Classroom & Live Online Eligibility: Mechanical / Civil Engineers & Diploma Certification: ISO 9001:2015 Recognized

Course Overview

The Plumbing (PHE) and Firefighting Design Course provides thorough, practical training in designing modern building sanitary systems, potable water distribution networks, hydro-pneumatic pumping, storm water harvesting, and active NFPA-compliant fire suppression systems.

Students learn design calculations using Hunter's Curve loading units, Hazen-Williams head loss formula, Manning’s drainage equation, NFPA 13 sprinkler hazard density calculation, fire pump head sizing, and comprehensive 2D CAD drafting of floor plans, risers, and plant room schematics.

What You Will Learn

Water Supply Networks

Water demand, sump/tank sizing, hydro-pneumatics & pipe sizing.

Sanitary Drainage Systems

Single stack, two-pipe, Manning's slope, STP & storm drainage.

NFPA Fire Protection

Fire hydrants, automatic sprinklers, FACP alarms & pumps.

Riser Diagrams & BOQ

Multi-story isometric risers, CAD layouts & itemized cost BOQ.
