Planning and Designing of Fire Station at Vattappara

Abstract

This project will be presenting the planning, designing, and estimation of fire station at Vattappara. The existing conditions of Valanchery town have no surrounding fire station. So, in this project we are trying to bring a new fire station with all modern facilities and emergency requirements. We would like to provide more facilities such that a spacious parking for fire engines, an office building, rest room and cottage for employees in the fire station in our project. First we would like to learn about the basic requirements and features available in an existing fire station. Then the required survey is done in our plot and the properties of soil in the site are studied well. Then the required drawings are done according to proper scale as per KMBR rule. After that we will do designing of slab, beam, column, footing, sunshade and lintel by using IS 456; 2000, IS 1875, with limit state method of designing.

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

This document is a template.  For questions on paper guidelines, please contact us via e-mail. Valancheri is a fastest growing city in Malappuram district. The population of Valancheri municipality is growing day to day. Currently there is no fire station the physical facilities of Valancheri town and Vattappara is very dangerous. There for there is a fire station is necessary. The nearby fire station is situated on Tirur at a distance of 25 km away from Valancheri. So Vattappara needed a fire station in its periphery.

On this reason we chosen ‘PLANNING AND DESIGNING OF FIRE STATION AT VATTAPARA’ as our project topic. We made a case study on Malappuram fire station. Though we understand the basic needs of a fire station. We decided to provide facilities such as garage, cottage, office building, rest room, parade ground and underground water tank etc on the basis of our case study in Malappuram fire station. The new fire station will reduce operational cost and manpower requirements, and will improve the operational efficiency of the fire department

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

A. David. M Banwart et al,(2021) Osha(Occupational Safety and Health Administration)

The purpose of this manual is safety of emergency responders and building occupants by providing information about how firefighters typically interact with building features and fire protection systems during fires and similar emergencies. By better understanding the needs of the fire service, designers and code.The faster the fire service can respond, enter, locate the emergency incident, and safely operate in or near a building, the sooner they can usually resolve the incident in a safe manner.

B. Bing Han et al (2021)  

Principle of the ordinary fire station arrangement is to ensure the arrival of firefighting trucks within five minutes. The firefighting response time also varies with fire risk levels as well as road and traffic conditions in different zones Moreover, multi-objective programming models are proposed to involve more factors such as the water supply for firefighting to optimize the fire station layout with respect to the average demand.

The modern fire station has been one of the most important and basic components in the provision of Fire Protection Services as the cornerstone of a productive and motivated workforce and as a source of community pride.

Significant risk associated with construction of fire station include lack of proper of literature and lack of knowledge ,experience and opportunities among fire workers.

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) is the fire and rescue service for London. It was formed by the Metropolitan Fire Brigade Act 1865, under the leadership of superintendent Eyre Massey Shaw.It has 5,992 staff, including 5,096 operational firefighters and officers based at 102 fire stations. The 2015-16 financial year the LFB received 171,488 emergency calls. These consisted of: 20,773 fires, 48,696 false alarms of fire and 30,066 other calls for service Since 2016, the LFB has provided first aid for some life-threatening medical emergencies (e.g. cardiac or respiratory arrest).

F. Benjamin Franklin (1736)

Firefighting in the United States dates back to the earliest European colonies in the Americas who would respond to neighborhood fires with buckets.  Volunteer companies were often paid by insurance companies in return for protecting their clients. Blacksmith Patrick Lyon of Philadelphia patented a hand-pumped engine that was the most powerful in the United States, and he built the first hose wagon in 1804, which eliminated the need for bucket brigades in cities. Lyon's masterpiece was the hand pumper Diligent which outperformed the new Cincinnati-built steam pumper Young America in a famous 1852 contest.

V. ACKNOWLEDGMENT

We would remember with grateful appreciation, the encouragement and support rendered by Dr Vince Paul, Principal eranad knowledge city Technical Campus, Manjeri.

We express our deepest sense of gratitude to Mr Shyam P, Professor and head of department of civil engineering and Ms. Karthika M.R, assistant professor, project co Ordinator and guide, department of civil engineering for their valuable advice and guidance.

We would always oblige for the helping hands of all other staff members of the department and all our friends and well-wishers, who directly or indirectly contributed in this venture.

Last but not least, we are indebted to God almighty for being the guiding light throughout this project and helped us to complete the same within the stipulated time.

Conclusion

We completed our project report FIRE STATION at VATTAPARA with planning designing and estimation by using KMBR and limit state method of design. Necessary drawing like beam, column, footing etc. are included by our team to the best our ability. This project required the collection of data from various place and report is completed and no features have been omitted is specification have been taken into account where necessary the Kerala Building Rule have been studies and inserted necessary details. We should like to remark that we about to complete the project through mutual co-operation and understanding.
