Water storage and treatment:

Domestic water:

Water from bore-wells / tankers (raw water) shall be brought to the building at approximately 1 m below ground level in raw water

tank. Water supplied by Municipal Corporation shall be stored in the domestic water tank.

From Raw water tank, water shall be fed to suitable water treatment plant by means of feed pumps and stored in the fire water

tank, overflow of which shall be given in domestic water tank. The treatment for raw water will consist of filtration through

pressure sand filters, activated carbon filters. Water treatment philosophy shall be detailed out based on the chemical and

physical analysis of water from bore wells / tankers. Since the quantity of water supplied by corporation may not be consistent,

we propose to mix water treated water with the water supplied by Municipal Corporation.


SERVICES


Drinking water:

Domestic water shall be treated by UV/RO filters and shall be supplied for drinking and cooking. These UV/RO filters shall be

installed at the points of consumption i.e. all the kitchens and near the central water cooler for the hotel.

Recycled water:

Water treated by STP is termed as recycled water. It shall be collected in the underground tank meant for the same and shall be

supplied to all the WCs and urinals for flushing, and for irrigation. This recycled water shall be further treated for softening and

shall be stored in the soft water tanks. This softened water shall be used for HVAC make up.

Since recycled water supply is less than requirement of flushing, irrigation and HVAC make up, it shall be supplemented with

domestic water. Hence an additional overflow of fire water tank shall be given in the recycled water tank.

There shall be a proper system to receive 15 to 20 tankers daily with well planned entry and exits so as not to disturb the overall

traffic movement within and outside the premises. We also suggest entering into a long term agreement with reliable tanker

suppliers providing consistent quality of water.

Since fresh water deficit is supplemented with bore wells, it is suggested to have a resistively test and hydro-geological survey to

ensure good quality consistent water supply throughout the year. Standby bore wells shall also be planned for the same. The

water received everyday shall be randomly checked for physical, chemical and microbial analysis to ensure that water quality is

maintained.

Water Distribution and Supply System:

There will be a separate pumping and distribution system for domestic and flushing water.

Hydro-pneumatic pressure boosting system comprising of 2 working and 1 standby pumps shall be installed in the pump room in

basement near the tanks, which will feed domestic water to each facility at pressures between 2.5 kg/cm2 to 4.5 kg/cm2. The same

system will be used to feed the overhead fire fighting make up tank.


SERVICES


Similarly, a separate hydro-pneumatic pressure boosting system will be provided near the recycled water tanks to supply flushing

water tank to each facilities. Provision will be kept to feed STP recycled water tank with domestic water to meet the shortfall in

the requirement of recycled water. Small capacity make up tanks, at terrace/roof level, are proposed for domestic and flushing

water so as to ensure continuous flow of water to each facility even during DG change over periods during electricity failures

A separate hydro-pneumatic system shall be installed in the basement near the main tanks, for providing domestic water to

laundry, all the toilets and other requirements in the basement.

From soft water tank, water shall be fed to HVAC make up tank constructed near cooling towers, minimum 1.5 m above the basin,

through a set of transfer pumps (1 W + 1 S) with automatic level controllers. Soft water shall be supplied to the cooling towers

through gravity from this make up tank. Provision shall also be made to supply suitably treated and softened tanker / bore-well

water or domestic water into the soft water make up tank to meet any emergency situations.

From recycled water tanks, water will be fed to all the gardening and irrigation needs with the help of independent hydro

pneumatic pumping system.

Hot Water for guest rooms and other public areas shall be supplied through the same domestic water hydro pneumatic system so

as to ensure equal pressures at the user points. A separate network of hot water supply shall be provided with a provision of

return line and a circulation pump to ensure instant hot water at the user point and minimize the heat loss in the pipe network.

For Hotel guest rooms, the entire water supply system shall be designed to supply water at pressures between 2.5 kg/cm 2 to 4.5

kg/cm2 at the user points. For all the BOH areas, the water shall be supplied at a pressure between 1.5 kg/cm2 to 2.5 kg/cm2. It

shall be ensured that the pressure of hot and cold water remains the same at the user points.


SERVICES


D.3.B. Generation and distribution of hot water and steam:

Quantity

The total peak hot water requirement is about 54,000 liters per day. (Refer above table for domestic water requirement

calculation). Most of the hot water is used for guest rooms, kitchen – BOH areas and laundry.

The total peak steam requirement for laundry is assumed to be 350 kg/hr. For kitchen steam, standalone units shall be provided in

consultation with the BOH / Kitchen consultant and the required quantity of hot water shall be supplied to the same.

Assumptions

Following criteria is considered for the design of hot water and steam supply system:

1. Water supply for 24 hours to all required facilities.

2. Steam supply to laundry area as per BOH consultant’s requirement

3. All hot water and steam lines will be insulated.

Hot Water Production and Distribution

It is proposed to produce hot water by providing hot water generators with dual burners capable of firing on natural gas and

HSD. Three (2 working + 1 Standby) numbers of hot water generators, each of capacity 300,000 K. Cal are proposed to be

installed in the basement. These generators will be gas / HSD fired and will receive cold water from feed water tanks through

feed water pumps. The feed water will be from the domestic water tank in basement, pumped through a polishing softener so

as to maintain the hardness within 5 ppm (soft water). Hot water from the generators will have a temperature of around 80

degree C and this will be the heating medium to heat the cold water in pressurized hot water mixing tanks provided in boiler

room for different requirements. Cold feed to all these pressurized hot water mixing tanks will be from the respective hydro

pneumatic system for domestic water supply for different requirements. Hot water from the generators will be pumped and

supplied to these hot water mixing tanks as heating medium through M.S piping and the return water after transmission of

heat to cold water in the mixing tanks will be collected and pumped through return pumps into the generators.


SERVICES


It will be ensured that the same pressure is maintained for hot and cold water supplies at the user points as the same hydro

pneumatic booster system will be used for hot and cold domestic water supply.

Hot water return lines will be provided and a circulation pump will be installed to ensure a constant hot water supply at each

user point.

Steam

It is assumed that the steam requirement is generally in hotel back of house areas, primarily in the laundry for use in flat

workers, driers and presses. It is also required in kitchen and in health clubs.

As it is not advisable to carry high-pressure steam to high levels, use of steam in hotel public areas (for kitchen and health

club) in the building is not contemplated. Thus use of steam in the building is confined to laundry areas only.

Steam Production and Distribution

It is proposed to have two (1 working + 1 standby) no 350 kg/hr IBR steam boilers, with dual fuel burners – Natural gas and

HSD.

Heating medium in the boiler can be electricity, oil or gas. Even though electrically operated boiler is the cleanest, as the cost

of electricity is prohibitive, it is not advisable to use electricity as heating medium. Natural gas / HSD are cheaper compared to

electricity so we suggest using dual fuel burners so as to have a flexibility of using either of the fuels.

As the peak requirement is only about 350 Kg per hour, one boiler will be working continuously and second boiler will always

be in a standby mode giving 100% standby capacity. These boilers will deliver steam to a steam header from which separate

branches will be provided for supply to laundry and BOH areas, If required.

Cold water feed for the boiler will be water having a commercial hardness of Zero (0 to 5 ppm of hardness) stored in feed

water tanks and pumped to the boilers by feed water pumps. Water from the domestic water compartment in basement

softened by polishing softeners to zero hardness will be stored in the feed water tanks and this will be the boiler cold feed.

Steam condensate from equipments where steam is indirectly used will be collected and brought back to the feed water tanks

to minimize heat losses in the system to the maximum extent possible.

Sewerage Disposal

The waste water and soil water shall be collected from toilet blocks / kitchen to main drainage network.

From toilets and kitchen, soil and wastewater shall be passed through gully trap chamber before connecting the same to main

drainage line.

Waste water from kitchens and pantry shall be passed through a grease trap before connecting to the drainage network.

The main drainage line shall discharge the soil and wastewater to sewage treatment plant for recycling the water for re use. The

recycled water shall be used for flushing, irrigation and for HVAC make up after softening.

Assumptions

1. No other parameter which exceeds the treated sewage limits or which is hazardous in nature, will affect the biological

process is present in the raw sewage.

2. The oil present is in free-floating form.

Process Description

The brief process description for MBR sewage treatment process is as follows:


SERVICES


1. Sewage from main drain line is collected through gravity pipes into a screen chamber. This manually cleaned screen is

provided to remove floating and big size particles, which may choke the pumps and pipe lines.

2. Screened sewage is then passed through equalization tank to homogenize the sewage quality and also even out flow

fluctuations and feed sewage of uniform quality at constant rate to subsequent treatment units. Air mixing is also provided

to mix the contents of the equalization tank. A coarse bubble aeration grid is provided to distribute air uniformly at the

base of the equalization tank.

3. After above treatment, raw sewage is fed into aeration basin.

4. In aeration tank MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids) in the range of 12000 to 15000 mg/l are maintained. The high

amount of bacteria gives better and complete removal of organic matter from the raw sewage in relatively small area.

Oxygen required for the bacteria is supplied through the blower. The air is used both for scouring of membranes and

supplying oxygen to bacteria.

5. The filtration is carried out by the suction pump directly sucking permeates water. The permeate water produced is clear

and devoid of bacteria and viruses to the minimum levels.

6. As the membranes are continuously under operation, they are polluted with organic or inorganic substances. Hence,

chemical cleaning is carried out once in two to three months for removing substances polluting and clogging the

membranes. Normal cleaners used are sodium hypo chloride and citric acid.

Benefits for MBR Technology STP

MBR (Membrane Bio Reactor) is the latest technology in wastewater treatment with many advantages as listed

below:

1. MBR requires much less space when compared to conventional activated sludge process.

2. MBR does not require clarifier tank where as conventional activated sludge process requires clarifier, which further adds to

the area requirement and cost.

3. Biological reaction in MBR can be carried out under the condition of 4 to 5 times of MLSS compared to conventional


SERVICES


activated sludge process. It means the biological reaction is faster and more organic components included in the feed

wastewater can be decomposed in shorter time or in smaller space. This also gives good treatment efficiency and high

stability of sludge, which is easy to dispose off.

4. The quality of treated water in case of MBR is much superior than conventional biological systems. As the membrane acts

as a physical barrier, it does not allow any sludge particles and to great extent bacteria and viruses to pass through it.

Microorganisms like coliform or cryptosporidium can be easily removed in MBR. This increases the reliability of the system

multifold.

5. Conventional biological systems require further costlier tertiary treatment to match the performance of the MBR system.

This may include coagulation, filtration, chlorination, adsorption, UV treatment etc.

6. MBR system has minimum number of treatment units and very simple to operate. It does not require any regular handling

of hazardous chemicals. As the treatment units are less, it is less prone to system breakdowns.

7. As conventional treatment systems require disinfections with chlorine, it needs to be removed completely before applying

on to gardens or for green belt development. Otherwise, high amount of residual chlorine may damage the plants. Also,

disinfection with any disinfectant does not remove organisms, it only inactivates them. The effect depends on the amount

of disinfectant used, the quality of filtration applied, the retention time available for oxidation and the existence or non-

existence of other competing reaction partners (scavenging). As MBR acts like a physical barrier, it does completely

remove bacteria and viruses up to a degree of 4 - 6 log removal (104 to 106 times reduction), independent of type or life

form of organism. It also helps in complete retention of biomass in the aeration basin.

8. As the system has minimum units, it requires less chemical cost and power consumption when compared to conventional

systems.

9. As chlorination is not required, MBR does not produce disinfection by-products or bad odors.

10.The energy consumption of “MBR” is extremely low (0.30 kwh/m3) and the treated domestic effluents has a four to six log

(99.99%) removal of total coliform. The MBR system does not require the use of chemicals, thereby making it extremely

safe during operation and re-use.

Approximate area required for STP will be 300 sqm.

D.3.E. Storm Water Drainage System

Design Criteria

1. Maximum intensity of rainfall is assumed as 50 mm/hr.

2. Average Co-efficient of Run-off is taken as 0.90.

3. Road camber is taken as 1:100 for concrete roads starting from center.

4. Surface slope as minimum 1:500.

Storm Water Disposal from Basement

1. Down take pipes shall be provided at the upper basement levels connecting to the lower basement.

2. A channel network will be provided at the lower basement level. All the down take pipes from the upper basement will be

connected to these channels.

3. Channels will be provided at the starting and end of the ramps so as to avoid / minimize the outside water and water along

with the wheels entering the basements.

4. Storm water sumps of suitable capacity will be provided in the lower basement in coordination with the structural

consultant and architect.

5. Mud Pumps (1-working and 1-standby) will be provided in each of the sumps with auto level controller so as to discharge

the collected water to external storm water drainage system.

Storm Water Disposal from Terraces

1. Rain water pipes / spouts will be provided from terraces to ground level for taking out the rainwater.


SERVICES


2. Slope of natural ground and infiltration capacity of open ground within the plot will not be sufficient to absorb /

dispose off surface water.

3. Looking to rain intensity in the vicinity, storm water is proposed to be disposed off through a network of channels,

pipes and chambers / catch basins.

4. The rainwater from the terraces will be disposed off through channels / pipe network.

5. A grating at the main entrance will be provided to prevent entry of outside rainwater to the premises.

6. Ground shall have minimum 1:500 surface slopes towards storm water collection system.

D.3.F. Rain Water Collection and Harvesting

Design Criteria

Broadly, there are two options for rain water harvesting:

1. 100% percolation / infiltration of the rain water to raise the sub-soil water levels and no reuse.

2. Maximum possible storage of rain water falling in the said premises and re-using the same for flushing, air-conditioning and

irrigation, surplus water to be used for percolation / infiltration.

The first option of 100% percolation / infiltration is possible only in the places where dry sub-soil aquifers are available so that the

ground water table is recharged. This option doesn’t give the immediate benefit of water to the society, but over a period of time

maintains or increases the water table of the area.

Second option of storage of rain water and then re-using the same with suitable treatment is more advantageous in the present

scenario where we are facing shortages of water. The stored rain water can be re-used for air-conditioning, flushing and irrigation.

In this case, the initial rains are allowed to drain away in the harvesting well or city drainage so as to clean the storm water

network and achieve clearer and better quality of rain water for usage.

Depending upon the space availability and ground water conditions, we will decide the exact system for rain water harvesting.

PART E:- FIRE ENGINEERING AND LIFE SAFETY

1.0 Introduction

The following Fire Engineering Concept report has been produced by M/s. PANKAJ DHARKAR ASSOCIATES for the 5 STAR HOTEL project at Varanasi. The purpose of this report is to provide the client and the design team with an appreciation of the key fire safety provisions necessary within the building at this stage in the development’s design. This report will also subsequently be used for submission to the Chief Fire Officer (CFO) for his consideration when issuing a Final No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the project.


SERVICES


The overall fire safety concepts for the building described within this report will deal with the means of escape strategy within the building and the interaction with the physical fire safety features proposed within the building, such as compartmentation and fire separation. In addition to these elements, the active fire safety features, such as sprinkler protection and smoke control, will be introduced along with the building’s proposed fire-fighting strategy.

1.1 Design Standards Considered for Fire Safety Systems

Fire safety systems within the building will be designed to a selection of appropriate standards as indicated below:

2.0 Means of Escape

2.1 Emergency Egress Philosophy

The evacuation strategy for the building will be based upon minimizing disruption to occupants in the event of a small fire incident, or a false alarm, while efficiently evacuating those people who may be in direct danger from the effects of a fire.


SERVICES


2.2 Staircases

As per NBC – 2005, the escape stairs provided throughout the building will be a minimum of 1.5m each in width.

All stairs serving the basement car park will also be a minimum width of 1.5m.

All stairs will be physically separated at ground floor level such that each stair is provided with two exits (one from the above ground floor and one from below).

2.3 Basement Car Park Escape


SERVICES


Escape from the basement car park will be via fire protected stairs which will discharge direct to outside at ground floor level. All basement stairs will be provided with protected lobbies with 1 hour fire resisting doors.To enable the basement travel distances to be achieved, more than one entry point into a protected lobby to an escape stair may be created.

As such, the minimum width of stairs serving the basement car park will be 1.5m.

Note: As the car park is sprinkler protected, NBC permits the car park ramps to be considered part of the escape from the car park levels - as such, if required, this approach will be adopted if considered appropriate.

SERVICES


2.7 Fire Service Access & Facilities

2.7.1 Fire Fighting Philosophy

The philosophy to be adopted for fire-fighting within the building will be such that sufficient internal provisions are included within the design in order that a ‘relatively’ safe environment within the building can be created, in an area located near the floor of fire origin, such that fire-fighting activities can all take place internally and that external fire-fighting is not considered necessary.2.7.2 Perimeter/External Access

The building requires an open space/courtyard be provided around the entire perimeter of the building, a minimum of 6m on either side, to allow sufficient Fire Service vehicle access to the building.

The necessity for vehicle access round all sides of the building is based upon the presumption that the Fire Service expect to be able to fight a fire from outside the building as well as internally.However, the fighting strategy for the Building is that ALL fire-fighting will occur from within the building (ie. from the fire-fighting shaft using the wet rising mains etc.). This is the preferred strategy as it is consistent for ALL fire locations within the building.

Where access to the site for the Fire Service is provided, the minimum width of any gate will be 6m and any entrance canopy/archway will be a minimum of 4.5m in height. The open space at the entrance to the building will be paved up to a minimum of 6m from the building and the paving will be capable to supporting the weight of the a Fire Appliances up to 48 metric tonnes with a point load of 10kgs. Per cm2. The paved space will be free of obstructions and motorable.

Exit Signs

Self illuminating, electrically operated, exit signs will be provided on all floors and in the basements indicating the direction of escape.


SERVICES


Emergency Lighting

Emergency lighting will be provided throughout the building in accordance with NBC. The lighting will be powered from a source independent on that for the building’s normal lighting capable of continuous operation for a minimum duration of 90 minutes.

The lighting will be positioned such that it clearly indicates all escape routes within the building to allow the safe movement of people in an emergency as well as providing illumination to all appropriate fire safety equipment. Emergency lighting will be sited to cover the following locations;

Near each intersection of corridors,

At each exit door

Near each change in direction of escape route

Near each staircase so that each flight of the stairs receives direct light

Near any change in floor level

Outside each final exit

Near each fire alarm call point or emergency communication deviceNear any fire-fighting equipment (eg. fire extinguishers/hoes reels etc.)

To illuminate exit signage

Note: ‘Near’ is taken to be within 2m (measured horizontally)


SERVICES


The horizontal luminance at floor level on the centreline of an escape route will be at least 10 lux. For escape routes up to 2m in width, 50% of the route will be lit to a minimum of 5 lux.

Fire Stop Systems

The following areas / services to be minimally provided the passive fire protection system.

The cable ducts shall be sealed at every floor with non combustible materials having the same fire resistances the fire eating of the duct.

The removable cover in the floors and the access panels shall be of the same strength of the fire rating as the floor and walls.

Every vertical openings between the floors of a building shall be suitably enclosed or protected as necessary to provide reasonable safety to the occupants while using the means of egress by preventing spreads of fire , smoke, or flames through vertical openings from floor, thus allowing occupants to complete their safe use of the means of egress.
