SAMPLE PROJECTS:

Sample Project -1 : Automatic Fire Sprinkler System Design for Aircraft Hangar

Part of the U.S. Department of Defense’s FMS program, this specialized aircraft maintenance facility supports corrosion treatment and repair operations for F/A-18 Super Hornets. Designed a UFC & NFPA-compliant wet-pipe sprinkler system for a specialized F/A-18 corrosion control hangar at Al Jaber Air Base, including hydraulic calculations, zoning, and full MEP coordination.

Sample Project -2 : Seismic Bracing Design – Wrigley India Pvt. Ltd., Baddi, HP

For the manufacturing facility’s fire protection system, I designed and calculated the seismic bracing layout in full compliance with FM Global Data Sheet 2-8. The scope included zone-of-influence (ZOI) plans, brace load calculations, brace selection, and detailed data sheets, ensuring both lateral and longitudinal restraints met FM Global maximum spacing limits. Integrated with the sprinkler layout and coordinated with structural elements to achieve full code compliance and reliable seismic performance.

Sample Project -3: Hydraulic Calculations – Fire Stations 209 & 210 (Canada)

As part of a tenant improvement fire protection design, I performed detailed hydraulic calculations for wet-pipe sprinkler systems in compliance with NFPA 13. The work included identifying remote areas, calculating discharge density for Light Hazard Occupancy, and determining flow/pressure requirements using HASS software. The design ensured adequate water supply, maintained a 10% safety margin, and met all minimum residual pressure and flow requirements.

Sample Project -4: Hydraulic Calculations – Fire Sprinkler & Hydrant System, DLYFT INDIA LLP

Designed and calculated Ordinary Hazard Group 1 sprinkler and hydrant systems for a proposed building in Rohtak, Haryana. Scope included identifying the most remote areas, performing flow and friction loss analysis using HASS software, and incorporating hose stream allowances. Sized a 1,000 gpm main pump and 100 gpm jockey pump to maintain NFPA-compliant flow, pressure, and duration. Prepared hydraulic graphs and calculation sheets for AHJ approval, ensuring reliable performance during fire events.

Sample Project -5: Automatic Sprinkler System Design & Hydraulic Calculations – 775 Vaughan Road, Toronto

Developed a complete automatic wet-pipe sprinkler system with parking garage dry systems and combined standpipe/sprinkler risers for a 41-storey residential high-rise. Performed HASS software hydraulic calculations for standpipe, sprinkler, and dry systems, incorporating friction losses, elevation head, and hose allowances. Verified city water supply, ensuring a 12% safety margin, and selected a 750 gpm fire pump with PRVs to meet NFPA 13, NFPA 14, OBC, and Toronto Fire Services requirements.

Sample Project -6: Fire Fighting System Design – Awash Petroleum Depot Upgrade, Ethiopia

Developed the tender-stage fire protection system design for the Awash petroleum depot in compliance with NFPA 20, NFPA 24, OISD-117, TAC Manuals, and UL/FM material standards. Scope included diesel-driven fire water pump and jockey pump sizing, foam pumping station design, and 16” hydrant ring main layout with residual pressure ≥7 kg/cm². Delivered pump house and control room layouts, foam proportioning system design, and integration with existing hydrant and foam networks to meet increased fire water demand for two simultaneous major fire scenarios.

Sample Project -7: Hydraulic Calculations – Water Sprinkler System (TELFORD 30 Offshore Vessel)

Developed and verified the Hydraulic calculations and wet-pipe sprinkler system for the TELFORD 30 DP3 pipelay/construction/accommodation vessel in accordance with ABS Class and Tyco specifications. Modeled the C-Deck remote area, performed head-loss and pressure checks across DN25–DN80 distribution, and prepared isometric and deck plans for all protected decks. Sized a 100 m³/h main pump and jockey pump, specified marine-grade materials, and incorporated sectional isolation/testing valves per deck. Delivered hydraulic calculation sheets, pump sizing notes, and full submission documentation, ensuring compliance with class rules and reliable fire protection in all accommodation spaces.
