2. Objectives:

- Design, manufacture and construct a realistic fire simulator structure replicating various scenarios encountered in an iron ore mining environment.

- Provide a safe and controlled environment for training emergency response  teams in fire suppression, evacuation procedures, and emergency management.

- Enable practical assessment of personnel competency in responding to fire emergencies, ensuring readiness and effectiveness in real-world situations.

- Incorporate features that simulate different types of fires, including those involving heavy machinery, equipment, and combustible materials commonly found in mining operations.

3. Key Features of this project:

a. Design and Construction Requirements:

- The fire simulator structure was scalable and adaptable to accommodate future expansions or modifications at Grid Line A and 1 with bracket provisions .

- Utilize fire-resistant materials and construction techniques to ensure safety and durability.

- Incorporate realistic elements such as conveyor belts, storage facilities, and machinery to simulate the mining environment accurately.

- Include multiple compartments or rooms(ZHM Maze System) to simulate various fire scenarios, such as surface fires, equipment fires, and structure fires.

- Integrate smoke generation systems and sound effects to enhance realism and  provide sensory cues during training exercises.

- Install a control panel to adjust fire intensity, smoke levels, and other parameters to customize training scenarios.

- Ensure accessibility and safety features such as emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and first aid stations within the simulator structure.

- Comply with relevant safety regulations, building codes, and industry standards throughout the design and construction process.

b. Deliverables from ZHM Huawu Steel:

- Conduct regular drills and simulations to familiarize emergency response teams with the simulator environment and evaluate their performance.

2.3.Design Requirements

A.Structural Requirements

1. Provide fixed modular training structure system capable of withstanding the effects of gravity loads per NFPA 1402 and the following loads & stresses within the limits and under conditions specified by local code.
a. Wind Requirements:
1) Wind Load: Assumed 105 MPH Ultimate or per local code if required
2) Wind Exposure: Assumed C or per local code if required

b. Seismic Requirements:

1) Site Class: Assumed D or per local code if required
2) SS (Short Period) : Assumed maximum 10.9 or per local code if required
3) S1 (1-Second Period) : Assumed maximum 6.4 or per local code if required

c. Risk Category: I

d. Deflection Limits: Engineer primary & secondary framing components, floor systems, and wall assemblies to withstand design loads with deflections no greater than 1/240 of the span.

e. Exterior Wall Panel System:

1) The modular training structure exterior wall panels shall be a structural component of the design and provide shear and lateral loading as dictated by the design requirements.
f. Handrails and Guardrails per OSHA requirements:
1) Uniform load of 50 lb/ft applied in any direction
2) Concentrated load of 200 lbs applied in any direction
3) Uniform and concentrated loads need not be assumed to act concurrently.

B.Code Requirements

1. Structural design shall comply with the 2012 International Building Code for structural conformity.
2. Safety design shall comply with applicable OSHA requirements.
3. Training shall comply with applicable NFPA 1402 and NFPA 1403 requirements.
4. Due to the nature of the modular training systems and the intended use, egress and fire code requirements are not expected to satisfy code criteria for occupied buildings.
a. Local codes may require the simulator to have a variance due to the intended use and features unique to its application.
b. It is the responsibility of the owner or owner’s representative to determine the proper procedures and variances for their location and obtain the necessary variances or requirements.

2.3.Delivery, Storage, and Handling

A.All components and accessories necessary for the assembly of the simulator including modular floors, modular roofs, modular columns, modular stairs, modular doors, modular window shutters, and insulating material for burn rooms shall arrive at the project site by over-the-road trailer.

B. Store all modules and components according to storage instructions above ground,separated, and protected from exposure to the elements & from physical damage caused by other activities.

C. Maintain environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, and ventilation) within limits recommended by manufacturer for optimum results. Do not install products under environmental conditions outside manufacturer’s absolute limits.
