Completed Projects

Overview

Project Overview

AMI Technologies Ltd. is proud to present a comprehensive fire safety solution for Mitali Fashions Ltd., located in Kashimpur, Gazipur - one of Bangladesh's prominent industrial zones. This project encompasses end-to-end consultancy, supply, and installation of a state-of-the-art Fire Hydrant System designed to protect lives, property, and business continuity in the textile manufacturing facility.

As a leading garment manufacturing unit, Mitali Fashions Ltd. operates with significant workforce density, valuable machinery, and combustible materials, making fire safety not just a regulatory requirement but a critical business imperative. Our solution is meticulously designed to comply with Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, and international best practices, ensuring maximum protection and operational resilience.


Project Scope & Objectives

The primary objective of this project is to establish a robust, reliable, and code-compliant fire hydrant system that provides immediate fire suppression capabilities across all areas of the manufacturing facility. The project scope includes:

1. Comprehensive Site Assessment & Consultancy: Our expert engineering team conducted detailed site surveys and risk assessments to understand the facility's layout, occupancy patterns, fire load calculations, and potential hazard zones. This consultancy phase involved:

  • Detailed fire risk analysis of production floors, warehouses, and administrative areas
  • Hydraulic calculations for optimal water flow and pressure requirements
  • Strategic placement planning for hydrant valves, hose cabinets, and firefighting equipment
  • Integration planning with existing building infrastructure and utilities
  • Compliance verification with BNBC, NFPA 14 (Standpipe Systems), NFPA 24 (Private Fire Service Mains), and RSC (RMG Sustainability Council) guidelines

2. System Design & Engineering: Our design team developed comprehensive technical drawings and specifications including:

  • Underground and overhead piping network layout with sizing calculations
  • Fire pump room design with adequate ventilation and safety features
  • Water storage requirements and underground/overhead tank specifications
  • Electrical and control systems for automated pump operations
  • Valve locations, hose cabinet positions, and fire brigade connection points
  • Isometric drawings, single-line diagrams, and equipment schedules

3. Supply of Premium Quality Components: AMI Technologies Ltd. sources only internationally certified, high-quality fire safety equipment from globally recognized manufacturers. For Mitali Fashions Ltd., we supply:

Fire Pumps & Controllers:

  • Electric Fire Pump (main duty pump) - UL/FM certified from Bristol/Naffco/Sffeco
  • Diesel Fire Pump (backup pump) - ensuring operation during power failures
  • Jockey Pump - maintaining system pressure automatically
  • Digital Fire Pump Controllers with auto-start and manual override capabilities
  • Diesel fuel tanks with adequate capacity for extended operation

Piping Network & Valves:

  • MS/GI pipes conforming to ASTM standards with proper sizing (4", 6", 8" mains)
  • Grooved pipes and fittings for quick installation and maintenance
  • OS&Y (Outside Screw & Yoke) Gate Valves for main isolation
  • Non-Return Valves (Check Valves) preventing backflow
  • Butterfly Valves for flow control
  • Pressure Relief Valves protecting system from over-pressurization
  • Zone Control Valves for sectional isolation

Hydrant Valves & Accessories:

  • Wet Type Fire Hydrants (single/double headed) at strategic outdoor locations
  • Landing Valves (internal hydrant points) on each floor - 63mm outlets
  • Fire Hose Cabinets with tempered glass doors and break-glass arrangements
  • Fire Hoses (RRL approved) - 30-meter length, 63mm diameter
  • Branch Pipes and Nozzles (jet/spray type) for effective water discharge
  • Hose Reel Drums with swivel mechanisms
  • Fire Brigade Connections (Siamese type) for external fire department support
  • Y-Strainers filtering debris and protecting equipment

Water Storage & Distribution:

  • Underground water storage tanks (capacity as per NFPA calculations)
  • Overhead tanks (if required) for adequate system pressure
  • Suction chambers with proper inlet/outlet arrangements
  • Level indicators and auto-fill systems

4. Professional Installation Services: Our certified installation team executes the project with precision and adherence to quality standards:

  • Underground piping installation with proper bedding, trenching, and backfilling
  • Overhead piping installation with adequate supports, hangers, and seismic bracing
  • Fire pump room setup with pumps, controllers, electrical connections, and safety signage
  • Hydrant valve and cabinet installation at designated locations with proper anchoring
  • Pressure testing of entire system (hydrostatic test at 1.5 times working pressure)
  • Flushing and commissioning to remove construction debris
  • System integration with building's electrical supply and fire alarm system
  • Installation of flow test connections and pressure gauges for monitoring

5. Testing & Commissioning: Rigorous testing protocols ensure system reliability:

  • Individual component testing (pumps, valves, controllers)
  • Full system pressure testing and leak detection
  • Flow testing at most remote hydrant points
  • Automatic pump start/stop sequence verification
  • Emergency power backup testing (diesel pump operations)
  • Documentation of all test results and as-built drawings

6. Training & Documentation:

  • Comprehensive training for facility management and safety personnel
  • Operation and maintenance manuals in English and Bangla
  • Emergency response procedures and firefighting drills
  • As-built drawings and system documentation
  • Maintenance schedule and inspection checklists
