TOTAL DESIGN FIRE WATER FLOW RATE FOR TWO SIMULTANEOUS FIRE SCENARIO
The total fire water flow requirement will be sum of the two largest fire water requirement calculated in 3.1 (504 m/hr) & 3.2 (13
m/hr), 3.3 (330 m/hr) above i.e. (1341+504) =1845 m3/hr plus supplementary water (36 x 4 = 144 m/hr) = 1989 m/hr.

OR water requirement alone as calculated in 3.4 i.e. 1028 m 3/hr plus supplementary water (36 x 4 = 144 m 3/hr) = 1172 m
Hence water requirement for double contingency locations shall be 1989 m 3/hr

WATER STORAGE REQUIREMENT

Case 1: When make water is not available:

Let us assume three main pumps of capacity 750 m/hr each and two stand-by pump of equal capacity and equal head are pro
Water requirement is 750 x 3 = 2250 m/hr
Design flow rate (Fire water pump discharge) = 2250 m/hr
