adjacent to the existing panel at the existing guardhouse.
The BFAP shall consist of indicator panels, a repeater of MFAP, a printer, LED facial and LCD
workstation for the control system.
Any necessary interface terminals for a signal from the MFAP on the BFAP shall be made
available by the Contractor.

Manual Firefighting Equipment


A complement of portable fire extinguishers rated for Class A, B, C and E fires shall be
furnished and located throughout all buildings within the Plant in accordance with the
applicable Laws and codes, in particular NFPA 10 requirements. Additionally, portable CO2
extinguishers should be located in areas containing sensitive electrical equipment, such as
the substation.
A standpipe & hose system shall be furnished at the transfer stations in accordance with the
local building codes, NFPA 14 recommendations, and standard industry practice. Choice of
Class I, Class II, or Class III systems should be made by a fire risk evaluation. Hose stations
shall be complete with hose cabinet, hose, hose rack and nozzle. Hose cabinets shall be
marked to indicate the contents.

Firefighting Water Supply


The firefighting water supply for this project shall be tapped from the existing supply. This
extension work shall be designed in accordance with NFPA 850 recommendations.
Any additional water supply for the fire protection system to the extension, if installed, is to be
re-calculated and design based on the requirement of NFPA 13, 14 & 22.

Fire Water Distribution System


Sectional gate valves shall be furnished in the yard piping for isolation to minimize concurrent
impact to both automatic and manual suppression systems serving a given area in the event
of a single break in the underground piping. Buried sectional gate valves shall be furnished
with post indicators or roadway boxes, depending upon their location and potential

interference with traffic. Hydrants shall be supplied with header isolation gate valves. The
hydrants shall be located in strategic areas at maximum intervals of approximately 90 m along
the buried yard loop or branch line piping, and at maximum intervals of 150 m in remote areas.
This distribution of hydrants shall comply with the relevant Laws and codes.
Interior fire protection loops shall be provided with at least two valved connections to the yard
main with appropriate sectional control valves on the interior loop.
Fire main connections for standpipes shall be arranged so that a fire main break can be
isolated without interrupting service in the fire water distribution system simultaneously to both
fixed protection and hose connections protecting the same hazard or area.

Waste Water Treatment System


The existing waste water treatment system including its auxiliary equipment/parts shall be
inspected and to be used by the Contractor for the Project. As described in Section 4.2.4.2
(4), the Contractor shall be responsible for conducting a water balance study to confirm the
capacity of the existing waste water treatment system in handling the additional waste water
to be generated from the new bypass conveyor system, taking into account the requirements
of the relevant local authorities. The Contractor may need to provide a new waste water
treatment plant if required, subject to the findings of this study.
All waste and effluent water shall be treated in waste water treatment plant (WWTP) to the
parameter limits of Standard B of the Fifth Schedule as stipulated in the Environmental Quality
(Industrial Effluents) Regulation, 2009, P.U. (A) 434/2009 or its latest edition prior to discharge
to any waterway.

Wastewater Treatment and Disposal

5.2.8.1.1 Wastewater Collection and Treatment


Refer to Section 4.2.4.2 for more information. Sumps are significant levels of solids;
accumulation is expected and the collection shall be designed to accommodate such solids
accumulation and to facilitate periodic removal of solids. Each wastewater collection sump
shall be a concrete sump with two 100 percent capacity sump pumps capable of operating in
parallel. These sump pumps shall transfer the collected wastewater to either the existing
industrial wastewater storage pond or temporary storage ponds as indicated. The flow
diagrams and system definition provided for the wastewater collection and treatment system
shall be used as guides for design and equipment specification. The concept drawing for the
modification of wastewater treatment systems in Package 1 is included in Section 6.1-34.
Underground wastewater piping shall be HDPE wherever possible. If operating conditions
prevent HDPE from being used underground, carbon steel shall be used. Above ground piping
shall be HDPE or carbon steel. Underground piping shall be used to the greatest extent
possible.

Lifting Equipment

General Requirements
The design of lifting and handling facilities shall conform to the appropriate international
standards and Malaysian Statutory requirements for cranes, lifts and scaffolding.
