ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE : MODERNISM

The term is often applied to the modernist movement at the turn of 20th
century. Using the principles of architecture design with rapid
technological advancements is the modernism. The concept of
modernism is a central theme in the efforts of 20th century modern
architecture. After the second world war, many architects continued the
modern architectural style for institutional and corporate buildings.
Some common themes of modern architecture includes:
Form follows function.
Simplicity and clarity of forms.
Visual emphasis on horizontal and vertical lines.

SERVICES
Fire fighting
Fire sprinkler system
It is an active fire protection
measure, consisting of a
water supply system ,
providing adequate pressure
and flowrate to a water
distribution piping system,
onto which fire sprinklers are
connected. Although
historically only used in
factories and large
commercial buildings, home
and small building systems
are now available at a costeffective price.

FIRE SPRINKLERS

Fire hose reel

system
The length of a fully extended fire
hose is 36 meters with a diameter
of 19mm (outside diameter). A
control nozzle attached to the
end of the hose enables the
operator to control the direction
and flow of water to the fire. All
fire hose reels come with a
plastic or solid brass hose reel
nozzle and mounting bracket.

agent which can be
discharged to
extinguish a fire.

HVAC
HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air
Conditioning) refers to technology of indoor
or automotive environmental comfort. HVAC
system design is a major sub discipline of
mechanical engineering, based on the
principles of thermodynamics, fluid
mechanics, and heat transfer. Refrigeration is
sometimes added to the field's abbreviation
as HVAC&R or HVACR, or ventilating is
dropped as in HACR (such as the designation
of HACR-rated circuit breakers).
HVAC is important in the design of medium to
large industrial and office buildings such as
skyscrapers and in marine environments such
as aquariums, where safe and healthy
building conditions are regulated with
temperature and humidity.

AC DUCTING

Hvav after a period

of time gets

situation
condensers are
used.

6 systems are
provided for air
conditioning.
One system has
capacity of 600kt.
The capacity if hvac
such that in 1hour 6
quintal can be
freeze together.

POWER BACKUP
