The project
This project concerns the construction of the building and plant engineering interventions necessary for the purpose of the fire prevention adjustment according to the provisions of the Ministerial Decree 19.03.2015 of the “M. Giannuzzi” of Manduria (TA), and the functional restructuring of the third and fourth floors of the Cross Body of the same. The hospital complex is made up of four main buildings intended for actual healthcare, connected to form a single large body, and other separate accessory buildings, such as the transformer rooms, the engine-generator and the medical gas station.
Among the most important interventions to be implemented are:
- redefinition of compartmentalization and sub-compartmentalization in order to slow down the spread of a possible fire and increase the possibilities of evacuation of the building occupants and to allow a progressive horizontal evacuation process;
- creation of appropriate separations between identified specific risk areas within hospital wards, in accordance with the types set out in the Ministerial Decree of 19 March 2015;
- identification of horizontal and vertical escape routes to allow easy and rapid evacuation, first horizontally from one compartment to another and possibly vertically down the stairwell, in accordance with the indications of the Ministerial Decree of 19 March 2015;
- construction of new escape routes, including a new outdoor emergency staircase serving the old hospital, and emergency exits according to updated plans;
- construction of smoke filters/fire protection vestibules in the correspondence of communication paths (horizontal and vertical) between compartments, in accordance with their new classification in types A, B, C, D1, D2, E and F by Ministerial Decree of 19 March 2015;
- retrofitting the existing stretcher lifts in the Cross Building and the Green Building to fire-proof stretcher lifts in accordance with current regulations;
- replacement/retrofitting the installed materials that do not have adequate fire performance characteristics;
- retrofitting the structures that do not possess adequate fire resistance characteristics;
- construction of new fire protection water system connections for DN45 internal hydrants on the wall to take account of the new layouts/compartmentalizations;
- creation of an external fire-fighting water loop to protect buildings with DN70 above-ground hydrants;
- fire extinguisher integration and redeployment;
- extending the fire detection system to the entire hospital complex;
- restructuring the fire alarm and signaling system according to the new distribution of rooms, escape routes and compartments;
- implementation of the new emergency acoustic evacuation system;
- eview safety signs indicating all fire extinguishing facilities and emergency exits.
