What do i do
I was a project engineer, the in-charge person, for the wet fire system under this project. From understanding the clients’ requirements, the regulations and the standards, tackling with a series of paperwork, site supervision and coordination as well as delivering the project; I did everything that falls in between these lines and it can be summarized as two major fields: project design and project management.
System I worked for
- Fire Service (Wet) System
- Automatic Sprinkler System
- Standpipe and Hose Systems
- Fire Extinguisher
Hydraulic Calculation
Isometric Drawing
Project Design
Design Narrative
I prepared a design narrative and submitted it to the consultants for getting an approval before starting the site work, the narrative described the design parameters of the system and provided the drawing list as well as a hydraulic calculation document.
Shop Drawings & As-built Drawings
I prepared the shop drawings and submitted it to the consultants for getting approval before starting the site work.
After the site work completed and inspected, I changed the title block of the latest shop drawing so as to produce the as-built drawings for further handover.
Hydraulic Calculation
As requested and instructed by the consultant, we had to submit hydraulic calculations for three sprinkler zones. I inserted one of these zones in the image carousel shown on the right.
Fire Extinguisher Plan
Project Management
Site Supervision and Coordination
I performed a daily walk on site to monitor the site progress and supervise the workmanship and the safety performance.
In addition, a series of coordination was executed during the site walk, it ensured that the installations were conducted up to the site situation and the latest drawings so as to reduce the non conformance items.
Site Inspection
I arranged and participated in the site inspections for 1st fix, 2nd fix, final fix and hydraulic test for wet fire system with the consultants and the clients. Then I arranged to rectify the non conformance items, whatever the drawing issues or the site work, to fulfill the demands from the consultants and the clients so as to deliver further the project and made everyone satisfied with our delivery.
Document Control
As you may know, we have a lot of paperwork during the site construction. It involves many fields such as engineering and construction, safety, environment, quality survey, quality assurance, etc. I handled all of these and you may find the several in the image carousel shown at right.
Material Management
I was responsible for ordering the materials , renting the site equipment and arranging the calibration service. I also coordinated the logistic route and the location of the warehouse with a main contractor in order to make a reliable and convenient pathway for the material delivery and store.
