Page | 010 2 SCOPE 2.1 GENERAL
A review of the design to applicable standards has been undertaken as well as a comparative risk assessment to existing power utility infrastructure and industrial facilities in the same setting.
An assessment of the likelihood of ignition and fire spread from a battery unit was undertaken. This assessment included the investigation of the likely heat release rate (HRR) of a fire and its impact on an adjacent building as a result of radiant heat transfer.
It is beyond the scope of this fire risk assessment to assess the likely spread at ground level of firefighting water run- off.
NJM Design makes all reasonable efforts to incorporate practical and advanced fire protection concepts into its advice. The extent to which this advice is carried out affects the probability of fire safety. It should be recognised, however, that fire protection is not an exact science. No amount of advice can, therefore, guarantee freedom from either ignition or fire damage.
The implementation of the findings of this report is the responsibility of others, including but not limited to:
◼ Development of drawings and specifications.
◼ The installation of hardware and construction system.
◼ The operation and maintenance of those systems.
