OBJECTIVE
This method statement is to describe s the method of which the installation
of Fire Protection Services Installation is carried out for this project.
SCOPES
This procedure applies to project site, which requires Fire Protection Services
installation work, which is carried out by the company.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRE- DELIVERY AND STORAGE PREPARATION.
a. Prepare delivery schedule and check site conditions as well as storage
capacity.
b. Prior to delivery of Material to site, a site survey and make all necessary
co-ordination with the main contractor as regards to access for the save
transportation of the said material to the designated location.
c. Coordinate with site workers responsible for the system installation.
3.2. INCOMING STORAGE AT SITE.
a. Check model and type of material against delivery order.
b. Check any damage during transportation.
c. If there is any evidence of damage, an internal inspection shall be made
together with supplier’s representative and the Consultant. A report shall
be submitted to the Consultant on completion of such inspection.
d. Route identification and marking work shall not be started until
coordinates with other Mechanical and Electrical Services.
e. Minor deviation from the approved construction drawing and M&E
drawing would be determined on site with the consent of consultant site
staff.
Method Statement for Installation of Fire Protection Services
Purpose
This method statement outlines the systematic process and steps required for the installation of fire protection services. It ensures compliance with safety standards, design specifications, and regulatory requirements to provide efficient fire safety systems.
Scope
The document applies to the installation of fire protection systems, including but not limited to:
- Fire suppression systems (sprinklers, hydrants, foam systems).
- Fire detection and alarm systems.
- Smoke control systems.
- Emergency lighting and exit signage.
Materials and Equipment
Key materials and tools required include:
- Pipes, fittings, and valves (as per specifications).
- Sprinkler heads, fire alarms, smoke detectors, and control panels.
- Mounting brackets, anchors, and hardware.
- Testing equipment (flow meters, pressure gauges).
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Responsibilities
- Project Manager: Ensures resources and permits are available.
- Site Engineer: Supervises installation as per design.
- Quality Inspector: Verifies adherence to standards.
- Safety Officer: Ensures a safe working environment.
Installation Procedure
1. Pre-Installation Activities
- Review project specifications, drawings, and local fire codes.
- Conduct site surveys to identify potential hazards.
- Ensure materials and tools meet project requirements.
2. System Installation
Fire Suppression System:
- Mark and drill holes for pipe mounting as per layout.
- Install pipes, ensuring proper alignment and support spacing.
- Attach sprinkler heads and valves according to approved plans.
Fire Detection System:
- Install smoke/heat detectors at designated points.
- Lay cables through conduits, connecting to control panels.
- Mount fire alarm devices (bells, strobes) in visible locations.
Smoke Control System:
- Position and secure fans, dampers, and ducts.
- Verify alignment with airflow requirements.
Emergency Lighting:
- Install exit signs and lighting in accordance with evacuation paths.
3. Testing and Commissioning
- Perform hydrostatic pressure tests on pipes.
- Test fire alarm and detection systems for functionality.
- Conduct flow and discharge tests for sprinklers.
- Validate system performance with third-party inspections.
Quality Assurance
- Adhere to relevant standards (e.g., NFPA, BS, or local codes).
- Maintain proper documentation of inspections and tests.
- Address any deviations with corrective actions.
Health and Safety Measures
- Conduct toolbox talks before commencing work.
- Use PPE, including helmets, gloves, and goggles.
- Ensure safe handling of tools and materials.
- Establish an emergency evacuation plan.
Documentation
- Test reports and calibration certificates.
- Inspection and approval records.
- As-built drawings and operation manuals.
Conclusion
The installation of fire protection services is a critical process that safeguards lives and property. Following this method statement ensures high-quality work, compliance with regulations, and seamless integration of fire safety systems.
