Water storage and treatment:
Domestic water:
Water from bore-wells / tankers (raw water) shall be brought to the building at approximately 1 m below ground level in raw water
tank. Water supplied by Municipal Corporation shall be stored in the domestic water tank.
From Raw water tank, water shall be fed to suitable water treatment plant by means of feed pumps and stored in the fire water
tank, overflow of which shall be given in domestic water tank. The treatment for raw water will consist of filtration through
pressure sand filters, activated carbon filters. Water treatment philosophy shall be detailed out based on the chemical and
physical analysis of water from bore wells / tankers. Since the quantity of water supplied by corporation may not be consistent,
we propose to mix water treated water with the water supplied by Municipal Corporation.
Drinking water:

41 M.E.P.
SERVICES
Domestic water shall be treated by UV/RO filters and shall be supplied for drinking and cooking. These UV/RO filters shall be
installed at the points of consumption i.e. all the kitchens and near the central water cooler for the hotel.
Recycled water:
Water treated by STP is termed as recycled water. It shall be collected in the underground tank meant for the same and shall be
supplied to all the WCs and urinals for flushing, and for irrigation. This recycled water shall be further treated for softening and
shall be stored in the soft water tanks. This softened water shall be used for HVAC make up.
Since recycled water supply is less than requirement of flushing, irrigation and HVAC make up, it shall be supplemented with
domestic water. Hence an additional overflow of fire water tank shall be given in the recycled water tank.
There shall be a proper system to receive 15 to 20 tankers daily with well planned entry and exits so as not to disturb the overall
traffic movement within and outside the premises. We also suggest entering into a long term agreement with reliable tanker
suppliers providing consistent quality of water.
Since fresh water deficit is supplemented with bore wells, it is suggested to have a resistively test and hydro-geological survey to
ensure good quality consistent water supply throughout the year. Standby bore wells shall also be planned for the same. The
water received everyday shall be randomly checked for physical, chemical and microbial analysis to ensure that water quality is
maintained.
Water Distribution and Supply System:

There will be a separate pumping and distribution system for domestic and flushing water.
Hydro-pneumatic pressure boosting system comprising of 2 working and 1 standby pumps shall be installed in the pump room in
basement near the tanks, which will feed domestic water to each facility at pressures between 2.5 kg/cm2 to 4.5 kg/cm2. The same
system will be used to feed the overhead fire fighting make up tank.

42 M.E.P.
SERVICES
Similarly, a separate hydro-pneumatic pressure boosting system will be provided near the recycled water tanks to supply flushing
water tank to each facilities. Provision will be kept to feed STP recycled water tank with domestic water to meet the shortfall in
the requirement of recycled water. Small capacity make up tanks, at terrace/roof level, are proposed for domestic and flushing
water so as to ensure continuous flow of water to each facility even during DG change over periods during electricity failures
A separate hydro-pneumatic system shall be installed in the basement near the main tanks, for providing domestic water to
laundry, all the toilets and other requirements in the basement.
From soft water tank, water shall be fed to HVAC make up tank constructed near cooling towers, minimum 1.5 m above the basin,
through a set of transfer pumps (1 W + 1 S) with automatic level controllers. Soft water shall be supplied to the cooling towers
through gravity from this make up tank. Provision shall also be made to supply suitably treated and softened tanker / bore-well
water or domestic water into the soft water make up tank to meet any emergency situations.
From recycled water tanks, water will be fed to all the gardening and irrigation needs with the help of independent hydro
pneumatic pumping system.
Hot Water for guest rooms and other public areas shall be supplied through the same domestic water hydro pneumatic system so
as to ensure equal pressures at the user points. A separate network of hot water supply shall be provided with a provision of
return line and a circulation pump to ensure instant hot water at the user point and minimize the heat loss in the pipe network.
For Hotel guest rooms, the entire water supply system shall be designed to supply water at pressures between 2.5 kg/cm 2 to 4.5
kg/cm2 at the user points. For all the BOH areas, the water shall be supplied at a pressure between 1.5 kg/cm2 to 2.5 kg/cm2. It
shall be ensured that the pressure of hot and cold water remains the same at the user points.

D.3.B. Generation and distribution of hot water and steam:

Quantity
The total peak hot water requirement is about 54,000 liters per day. (Refer above table for domestic water requirement
calculation). Most of the hot water is used for guest rooms, kitchen – BOH areas and laundry.
The total peak steam requirement for laundry is assumed to be 350 kg/hr. For kitchen steam, standalone units shall be provided in
consultation with the BOH / Kitchen consultant and the required quantity of hot water shall be supplied to the same.
Assumptions
Following criteria is considered for the design of hot water and steam supply system:
1. Water supply for 24 hours to all required facilities.
2. Steam supply to laundry area as per BOH consultant’s requirement
3. All hot water and steam lines will be insulated.
Hot Water Production and Distribution
It is proposed to produce hot water by providing hot water generators with dual burners capable of firing on natural gas and
HSD. Three (2 working + 1 Standby) numbers of hot water generators, each of capacity 300,000 K. Cal are proposed to be
installed in the basement. These generators will be gas / HSD fired and will receive cold water from feed water tanks through
feed water pumps. The feed water will be from the domestic water tank in basement, pumped through a polishing softener so
as to maintain the hardness within 5 ppm (soft water). Hot water from the generators will have a temperature of around 80
degree C and this will be the heating medium to heat the cold water in pressurized hot water mixing tanks provided in boiler
room for different requirements. Cold feed to all these pressurized hot water mixing tanks will be from the respective hydro
pneumatic system for domestic water supply for different requirements. Hot water from the generators will be pumped and
supplied to these hot water mixing tanks as heating medium through M.S piping and the return water after transmission of
heat to cold water in the mixing tanks will be collected and pumped through return pumps into the generators.

44 M.E.P.
SERVICES
It will be ensured that the same pressure is maintained for hot and cold water supplies at the user points as the same hydro
pneumatic booster system will be used for hot and cold domestic water supply.
Hot water return lines will be provided and a circulation pump will be installed to ensure a constant hot water supply at each
user point.
Steam
It is assumed that the steam requirement is generally in hotel back of house areas, primarily in the laundry for use in flat
workers, driers and presses. It is also required in kitchen and in health clubs.
As it is not advisable to carry high-pressure steam to high levels, use of steam in hotel public areas (for kitchen and health
club) in the building is not contemplated. Thus use of steam in the building is confined to laundry areas only.
Steam Production and Distribution
It is proposed to have two (1 working + 1 standby) no 350 kg/hr IBR steam boilers, with dual fuel burners – Natural gas and
HSD.
Heating medium in the boiler can be electricity, oil or gas. Even though electrically operated boiler is the cleanest, as the cost
of electricity is prohibitive, it is not advisable to use electricity as heating medium. Natural gas / HSD are cheaper compared to
electricity so we suggest using dual fuel burners so as to have a flexibility of using either of the fuels.
As the peak requirement is only about 350 Kg per hour, one boiler will be working continuously and second boiler will always
be in a standby mode giving 100% standby capacity. These boilers will deliver steam to a steam header from which separate
branches will be provided for supply to laundry and BOH areas, If required.
Cold water feed for the boiler will be water having a commercial hardness of Zero (0 to 5 ppm of hardness) stored in feed
water tanks and pumped to the boilers by feed water pumps. Water from the domestic water compartment in basement
softened by polishing softeners to zero hardness will be stored in the feed water tanks and this will be the boiler cold feed.
Steam condensate from equipments where steam is indirectly used will be collected and brought back to the feed water tanks
to minimize heat losses in the system to the maximum extent possible.

Assumptions
1. No other parameter which exceeds the treated sewage limits or which is hazardous in nature, will affect the biological
process is present in the raw sewage.
2. The oil present is in free-floating form.
Process Description
The brief process description for MBR sewage treatment process is as follows:
1. Sewage from main drain line is collected through gravity pipes into a screen chamber. This manually cleaned screen is
provided to remove floating and big size particles, which may choke the pumps and pipe lines.

51 M.E.P.
SERVICES
2. Screened sewage is then passed through equalization tank to homogenize the sewage quality and also even out flow
fluctuations and feed sewage of uniform quality at constant rate to subsequent treatment units. Air mixing is also provided
to mix the contents of the equalization tank. A coarse bubble aeration grid is provided to distribute air uniformly at the
base of the equalization tank.
3. After above treatment, raw sewage is fed into aeration basin.
4. In aeration tank MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids) in the range of 12000 to 15000 mg/l are maintained. The high
amount of bacteria gives better and complete removal of organic matter from the raw sewage in relatively small area.
Oxygen required for the bacteria is supplied through the blower. The air is used both for scouring of membranes and
supplying oxygen to bacteria.
5. The filtration is carried out by the suction pump directly sucking permeates water. The permeate water produced is
clear and devoid of bacteria and viruses to the minimum levels.
6. As the membranes are continuously under operation, they are polluted with organic or inorganic substances. Hence,
chemical cleaning is carried out once in two to three months for removing substances polluting and clogging the
membranes. Normal cleaners used are sodium hypo chloride and citric acid.
Benefits for MBR Technology STP

MBR (Membrane Bio Reactor) is the latest technology in wastewater treatment with many advantages as listed
below:
1. MBR requires much less space when compared to conventional activated sludge process.
2. MBR does not require clarifier tank where as conventional activated sludge process requires clarifier, which further adds
to the area requirement and cost.
3. Biological reaction in MBR can be carried out under the condition of 4 to 5 times of MLSS compared to conventional
activated sludge process. It means the biological reaction is faster and more organic components included in the feed

52 M.E.P.
SERVICES
wastewater can be decomposed in shorter time or in smaller space. This also gives good treatment efficiency and high
stability of sludge, which is easy to dispose off.
4. The quality of treated water in case of MBR is much superior than conventional biological systems. As the membrane
acts as a physical barrier, it does not allow any sludge particles and to great extent bacteria and viruses to pass through it.
Microorganisms like coliform or cryptosporidium can be easily removed in MBR. This increases the reliability of the system
multifold.
5. Conventional biological systems require further costlier tertiary treatment to match the performance of the MBR system.
This may include coagulation, filtration, chlorination, adsorption, UV treatment etc.
6. MBR system has minimum number of treatment units and very simple to operate. It does not require any regular
handling of hazardous chemicals. As the treatment units are less, it is less prone to system breakdowns.
7. As conventional treatment systems require disinfections with chlorine, it needs to be removed completely before
applying on to gardens or for green belt development. Otherwise, high amount of residual chlorine may damage the plants.
Also, disinfection with any disinfectant does not remove organisms, it only inactivates them. The effect depends on the
amount of disinfectant used, the quality of filtration applied, the retention time available for oxidation and the existence or
non-existence of other competing reaction partners (scavenging). As MBR acts like a physical barrier, it does completely
remove bacteria and viruses up to a degree of 4 - 6 log removal (104 to 106 times reduction), independent of type or life
form of organism. It also helps in complete retention of biomass in the aeration basin.
8. As the system has minimum units, it requires less chemical cost and power consumption when compared to
conventional systems.
9. As chlorination is not required, MBR does not produce disinfection by-products or bad odors.
10. The energy consumption of “MBR” is extremely low (0.30 kwh/m3) and the treated domestic effluents has a four
to six log (99.99%) removal of total coliform. The MBR system does not require the use of chemicals, thereby making it
extremely safe during operation and re-use.

2. Slope of natural ground and infiltration capacity of open ground within the plot will not be sufficient to absorb /
dispose off surface water.
3. Looking to rain intensity in the vicinity, storm water is proposed to be disposed off through a network of channels,
pipes and chambers / catch basins.
4. The rainwater from the terraces will be disposed off through channels / pipe network.
5. A grating at the main entrance will be provided to prevent entry of outside rainwater to the premises.
6. Ground shall have minimum 1:500 surface slopes towards storm water collection system.
D.3.F. Rain Water Collection and Harvesting

Design Criteria
Broadly, there are two options for rain water harvesting:
1. 100% percolation / infiltration of the rain water to raise the sub-soil water levels and no reuse.
2. Maximum possible storage of rain water falling in the said premises and re-using the same for flushing, air-conditioning and
irrigation, surplus water to be used for percolation / infiltration.
The first option of 100% percolation / infiltration is possible only in the places where dry sub-soil aquifers are available so that the
ground water table is recharged. This option doesn’t give the immediate benefit of water to the society, but over a period of time
maintains or increases the water table of the area.
Second option of storage of rain water and then re-using the same with suitable treatment is more advantageous in the present
scenario where we are facing shortages of water. The stored rain water can be re-used for air-conditioning, flushing and irrigation.

55 M.E.P.
SERVICES
In this case, the initial rains are allowed to drain away in the harvesting well or city drainage so as to clean the storm water
network and achieve clearer and better quality of rain water for usage.
Depending upon the space availability and ground water conditions, we will decide the exact system for rain water harvesting.

PART E:- FIRE ENGINEERING AND LIFE SAFETY
1.0 Introduction

57 M.E.P.
SERVICES
The following Fire Engineering Concept report has been produced by M/s. PANKAJ DHARKAR ASSOCIATES for the 5 STAR HOTEL
project at Varanasi. The purpose of this report is to provide the client and the design team with an appreciation of the key fire
safety provisions necessary within the building at this stage in the development’s design. This report will also subsequently be
used for submission to the Chief Fire Officer (CFO) for his consideration when issuing a Final No Objection Certificate (NOC) for
the project.
The overall fire safety concepts for the building described within this report will deal with the means of escape strategy within
the building and the interaction with the physical fire safety features proposed within the building, such as compartmentation
and fire separation. In addition to these elements, the active fire safety features, such as sprinkler protection and smoke
control, will be introduced along with the building’s proposed fire-fighting strategy.

All stairs will be physically separated at ground floor level such that each stair is provided with two exits (one from
the above ground floor and one from below).
2.3 Basement Car Park Escape
Escape from the basement car park will be via fire protected stairs which will discharge direct to outside at ground
floor level. All basement stairs will be provided with protected lobbies with 1 hour fire resisting doors.
To enable the basement travel distances to be achieved, more than one entry point into a protected lobby to an
escape stair may be created.
As such, the minimum width of stairs serving the basement car park will be 1.5m.
Note: As the car park is sprinkler protected, NBC permits the car park ramps to be considered part of the escape
from the car park levels - as such, if required, this approach will be adopted if considered appropriate.

Lift lobbies internal to the building (both above and below ground) will be provided with a pressurisation system
operated automatically on fire detection (lobbies only pressurised on floor of fire origin).
2.7 Fire Service Access & Facilities
2.7.1 Fire Fighting Philosophy
The philosophy to be adopted for fire-fighting within the building will be such that sufficient internal provisions are
included within the design in order that a ‘relatively’ safe environment within the building can be created, in an area
located near the floor of fire origin, such that fire-fighting activities can all take place internally and that external
fire-fighting is not considered necessary.
2.7.2 Perimeter/External Access
The building requires an open space/courtyard be provided around the entire perimeter of the building, a minimum
of 6m on either side, to allow sufficient Fire Service vehicle access to the building.
The necessity for vehicle access round all sides of the building is based upon the presumption that the Fire Service
expect to be able to fight a fire from outside the building as well as internally.
However, the fighting strategy for the Building is that ALL fire-fighting will occur from within the building (ie. from
the fire-fighting shaft using the wet rising mains etc.). This is the preferred strategy as it is consistent for ALL fire
locations within the building.
Where access to the site for the Fire Service is provided, the minimum width of any gate will be 6m and any
entrance canopy/archway will be a minimum of 4.5m in height. The open space at the entrance to the building will
be paved up to a minimum of 6m from the building and the paving will be capable to supporting the weight of the a

obstructions and motorable.
Exit Signs
Self illuminating, electrically operated, exit signs will be provided on all floors and in the basements indicating the
direction of escape.
Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting will be provided throughout the building in accordance with NBC. The lighting will be powered
from a source independent on that for the building’s normal lighting capable of continuous operation for a minimum
duration of 90 minutes.
