DOCUMENT TITLE
1.1 This specification defines the minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, inspection, testing,
packaging and identification of equipment for VESDA Fire System Packages.
1.3 VESDA Fire System in CCB will be applied in Central Instrument Room (CIR) and
Telecommunication Equipment Room (TER). In these rooms, VESDA detection system will be
provided in the cabinets and floor voids. CIR and TER will not be provided with automatic Inergen
extinguishing system.
TER will be provided with automatic fire extinguishers of nebulised water type operated from the
CCB fire alarm panel. This system is not connected to the VESDA system and therefore it is not part
of this requisition.

10.0 DESIGN
10.1 GENERAL
10.1.1 All items and materials used to construct the fire detection and extinguishing gas packages shall be
designed in accordance with the codes, standards, drawings and data sheets listed in Section 3.0 of
this specification, where such items fall within the scope of those documents.
10.1.2 These systems shall be designed in accordance with NFPA-2001.
10.1.3 The supplier shall determine the quantity of Inergen that shall be required and the number of
cylinders for the specified switchgear cabinets .
10.1.4 Parts, accessories and attachments which are furnished as a regular part of proprietary or
standardised equipment shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's or recognised industry
standards suitable for the design conditions.
10.3 MISCELLANEOUS
10.3.1 Equipment and piping layouts shall be such that sufficient clearance is allowed between parallel lines
or equipment to permit adequate access for unbolting flanges and maintenance access. The
minimum distance between parallel piping shall not be less than 50 mm excluding allowances for line
movements. The minimum distance between outside of pipe/insulation and flanges shall be 50 mm.
10.3.2 At least two earthing lugs shall be welded onto each skid. The size and location of the lugs and earth
connection details shall be agreed with the purchaser before commencing manufacture.
10.3.3 The package unit(s) shall be provided with one set of all the special tools required for the operation,
maintenance or cleaning. Large tools shall be provided with suitable supports for storage and small
tools shall be supplied in a substantial metal box complete with a lock and key.
10.3.4 Plant items and parts there of which may require removal during maintenance shall be provided with
eyebolts or other facilities for easy handling.

service in the climatic conditions specified on Project Specification. The supplier shall advise in his
bid the requirement for insulation and heating of the package for protection in a freezing climate. All
electric components will be IP-65
10.3.5 Where the manufacturer's standard construction does not fully comply with any detailed
requirements of this specification, data sheets or other attachments thereto, the supplier shall submit
