Tender Summary

Objectives

The primary objective of this tender is to upgrade the fire protection pumping system at Tutuka Power Station to meet the worst-case fire water demand of 18,876.85 liters per minute at 991.66 kPa. The upgrade aims to enhance system reliability, ensure compliance with local fire safety codes (NFPA, SANS/ASIB), and address the increased fire water demand following the turbine underfloor fire protection system installation. The design will include two main electrical pumps, two diesel backup pumps, and two jockey pumps, all supporting the existing water supply infrastructure, to mitigate risks of property damage and personnel injury/death in the event of an uncontrollable fire.

Scope

The scope encompasses assessment, design, and delivery of a compliant fire pump system upgrade at Tutuka Power Station, including:

  • Evaluation of existing fire protection systems and infrastructure.
  • Design of a new fire protection pumping system capable of supporting the worst-case fire scenario.
  • Provision of two electrical driven pumps, two diesel backup pumps, and two jockey pumps with similar capacity.
  • Design of piping, hydraulics, water storage, and supply systems supporting the new pumps.
  • Integration of the upgraded system with existing fire water distribution manifolds and piping.
  • Preparation of detailed drawings, specifications, and deliverables compliant with NFPA, SANS, and ASIB standards.
  • Delivery of approved designs, documentation, and installation support to Tutuka Power Station.

Technical Requirements

The technical requirements for the upgrade include:

  • Design and installation of fire pumps (centrifugal horizontal split casing type) with capacity of 18,876.85 l/m @ 991.66 kPa.
  • Use of existing water tanks for supply, with pumps drawing suction from the same manifolds.
  • Installation of two main electrical pumps, two diesel backup pumps, and two jockey pumps for pressure maintenance.
  • Design of piping, hydraulics, and water distribution systems supporting the new pumps.
  • Compliance with NFPA 20, SANS 10287, ASIB, and other relevant standards.
  • Provision of power supply, motor control, protection, and safety features including alarms and emergency shutoff systems.
  • Design of pump room, foundation, drainage, environmental considerations, and support structures.
  • Preparation of detailed engineering deliverables including mechanical, electrical, and control & instrumentation designs.
  • Development of key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor system performance post-installation.
  • Assessment and integration of safety, environmental, and operational requirements throughout the design process.

Joint Ventures, Consortia and Subcontracting:

Most large tenders are composed of tasks in a number of different fields, and it is not always possible for a single company to cater for all of them, and therefore Joint Ventures and Consortia are formed to then submit a tender together.

Government tenders are also requiring the subcontracting of a percentage of the tender work, and the trouble is then finding Subcontractors to comply with the tender requirements

To assist companies with finding tender partners and subcontractors, you can now submit your contact details and company information on this page, so other interested parties can contact you for purposes of forming Joint Ventures and subcontracting
