The
site was one of the most challenging for ISS corpse of
engineers. In the middle of the Red Sea closer to Hurghada, and
a difficult to reach and highly hazardous Heli-Pad. ISS was to
design a system that would provide Manual Fire Suppression of
the Heli-Pad utilizing Fire Fighting Foam Concentrate.
What
was the first challenge? Well the facility had no power!!
Any system was to be design using mechanical discharge in mind.
There was not electrical parts within the system to be put in
mind as there was no mains for them.
What
was the second challenge? The facility was existing and
running. The spot was obviously hazardous, the location was not
very helpful - in the middle of the red sea.
What
was the third challenge? It was first required to provide a
local-application system as per NFPA requirements for the
helipad alone, however afterwards it was deducted that with the
versatility that ISS manufacturing engineers can provide, the
client decided that the entire rig could be covered in terms of
Fire Protection.
