Design and Implementation of a Fire Fighting System for a High-Rise Residential Building: A Case Study of SAMA Tower in Palestine

This paper describes the design and installation of a fire-fighting system in a high-rise building, the SAMA Residential Tower in Palestine. A sprinkler system, a standpipe system, a fire hose cabinet, a landing valve, externally accessible fire hydrants, and a Siamese connection are all included in this system. Additionally, it complies with NFPA 13, 14, and 20 codes, as well as those of the Palestinian and Jordanian governments. Hydraulic calculations were performed manually and confirmed using Elite Fire Protection software. The layouts were developed using AutoCAD, and 3D modeling was created in Revit to optimize the placement of components. All zones of the building will be protected by this integrated approach, which ensures reliable flow, sufficient pressure, and code compliance. In the application of an integrated design workflow, the coordination between fire protection components was improved, design errors were reduced, and implementation accuracy was enhanced. As a result of systematic validation between manual hydraulic calculations and software outputs, pressure and flow assurance was also more reliable. As a result, there was a clear increase in efficiency and performance for high-rise firefighting systems.
