Characteristics of fire protection systems examination during special technical specifications’ approval phase

Abstract

Emergency simulation during the design phase of a protection object must be carried out in the absence of design standards and the development of special technical specifications. The development of these solutions requires a comprehensive study of the protection object and high competence of the executor in fire safety issues. There is a recommendation for territorial normative and technical councils to carry out studies with specialists of profile educational and research institutions of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia when considering special technical conditions. This activity can be performed by including these persons in the commission or preparing a separate opinion on a commercial basis. The study presents the peculiarities of modeling the limiting heat flux density in a fire and the development of compensating measures, taking into account the comments of specialists of an educational organization. A shopping mall for which there are no design standards for the selection of fire barriers is considered. Seven scenarios of emergency situation development related to fires were studied, and typical violations of these works were revealed. The developers' attention is drawn to the necessity of calculating the fire risk and taking into account the evacuation time of people.
