HIGHRISE BUILDING
The buildings with an occupied floor located
more than 75 feet above the lowest level of fire
department vehicle access.
Buildings and structures must be equipped
throughout with an automatic sprinkler system
and a secondary water supply where required.
Standby power loads can be any of the following:
power and lighting for the fire command center,
electrically powered fire pumps and ventilation,
and automatic fire detection equipment for
smoke proof enclosures. All elevators must have
standby power.

STANDBY GENERATOR
The standby power system must start up within 10 seconds
after the failure of normal power supply.

STANDBY GENERATOR
A standby generator is a back-up electrical system that
operates automatically.
Within seconds of a utility outage an automatic transfer
switch senses the power loss, commands the generator to
start and then transfers the electrical load to the generator.
The standby generator begins supplying power to the
circuits. After utility power returns, the automatic transfer
switch transfers the electrical load back to the utility and
signals the standby generator to shut off.
It then returns to standby mode where it awaits the next
outage.
To ensure a proper response to an outage, a standby
generator runs weekly self-tests.
Most units run on diesel, natural gas or liquid propane gas.

STANDBY GENERATOR
Automatic standby generator systems may be required by
building codes for critical safety systems such as elevators
in high-rise buildings, fire protection systems, standby
lighting, or medical and life support equipment.

C.Fuel Supply. An on-premises fuel supply sufficient for
not less than six hours at full demand of the system shall
be provided.
The fuel supply shall be eight hours if the building is
equipped with an electric-driven fire pump.
The fuel supply tank for the generator may be combined
with the fuel supply for the diesel driven pump, but the
capacity for the tank shall be sufficient to supply the
minimum fuel supply for the generator and the diesel
driven fire pump.
A trouble alarm shall be transmitted when fuel levels
drop below the minimum required amount.

D. Refueling. Refueling of the diesel supply tank shall be
accomplished from the exterior of the building.
E. Fire Resistive Separation. If the emergency standby
power generating system is located inside of the high-rise
building, the room shall be separated from the remainder
of the building by a minimum of two-hour fire-resistive
construction.
Openings in this room shall be located on the exterior wall
only. When such openings are located below openings in
another story or less than 10 feet from any opening on the
same building, they shall be protected by a fire assembly
having a minimum of one and one-half hour fire-resistive
rating.

PLUMBING
Providing domestic cold and hot water to the upper floors is a
fundamental requirement and provides the main challenge for
the plumbing system engineer for a high-rise building project.
Many parameters must be considered and many possible
solutions exist. The engineer must consider building height,
available municipal water pressure,
pressure requirements not only at the upper floor but also
throughout the
building,
Flow demand
Booster pump capacity and control,
Pipe and valve materials,
Riser locations,
Pressure zones,
pressure-regulating stations,
Water heater storage capacity and recovery,
water heater locations,
domestic hot water circulation or pipe temperature
maintenance,

Distribution Systems in Multi-Storeyed Buildings
There are four basic methods of distribution of water to a
multistoried buildings. .
1.Direct supply from mains to ablutionary taps and
kitchen with WCs and urinals supplied by overhead
tanks.
2.Direct Pumping Systems.
3.Hydro-Pneumatic Systems.
4.Overhead Tanks Distribution.

DIRECT PUMPING SYSTEM
Water is pumped directly into the distribution system without the aid
of any overhead tank, except for flushing purposes.
The pumps are controlled by a pressure switch installed on the line.
Normally a jockey pump of smaller capacity installed which meets
the demand of water during low consumption and the main pump
starts when the demand is greater.
The start and stop operations are accomplished by a set if pressure
switches are installed directly on the line.
In some installation, a timer switch is installed to restrict the
operating cycle of the pump.

Hydro-pneumatic system
Hydro-pneumatic system is a variation of direct pumping
system. An air-tight pressure vessel is installed on the
line to regulate the operation of the pumps. The vessel
capacity shall be based on the cut in and cut-out
pressure of the pumping system depending upon
allowable start/stops of the pumping system.
