Projeto do sistema de combate a incêndio de um terminal ferroviário

Abstract

The study developed in this document is based on a project to adequate a protection and firefighting system of a Railroad Terminal tanking area, following national and international safety standard requirements, codes and current laws, and propose a better solution to the present system, proposing to reduce operation (Opex) and deployment costs (Capex). The adequacy of this system was made for a mining company. As a way to introduce the fundamentals involved in the project, the Railroad Terminal area is featured, as well as, the current firefighting system, updates of technical standards and hydraulic analysis of gains in safety and efficiency in incident fighting. The objective of this work is to do a scientific development project, in which it was sought first to show a demand due to the expansion that has occurred in the tanking area over the years, and supply it with a project that adjust the firefighting and protection system according to the regulations of the mining company, the State Fire Department, and the technical Standards. During the theoretical frame, there is bibliographical research that comprises: The behavior of fire during the accident, extinguishing method, functioning of the firefighting systems, extinguishing agents, fluid mechanics, hydraulic analysis and technical standards. In the development, the sizing of the system in question, was made sizing and calculating some elements to use on a software that solve fluids mechanics and hydraulic analysis problems, to validate the project and allow to make some required changes. Therefore, the equipment and components of the current fire protection and firefighting system were analyzed, and consequently, there was a need to make changes to some of the equipments already installed keeping up only those who attended the project calculated here
