Project Summary
At Al Alamain Airport, we implemented a complete Firefighting and Fire Alarm protection system tailored to meet the safety requirements of aviation infrastructure. The project included the supply, installation, and commissioning of high-capacity firefighting pumps, foam-based suppression systems, and an integrated fire detection and alarm network to protect terminal facilities, technical rooms, and airside operations.

The firefighting network was powered by four 2000 GPM fire pumps, comprising both electrical and diesel-driven units, supported by a dedicated jockey pump for pressure stabilization. To provide efficient foam-based protection, we installed two foam bladder tanks rated at 700 GPM, along with 14 foam monitors and 4 foam chambers strategically positioned to safeguard fuel handling and aircraft service zones. The water and foam distribution network consisted of 400 meters of HDPE piping and 5000 meters of galvanized carbon steel piping, feeding 350 sprinklers and spray nozzles across operational areas. For high-risk zones, 34 deluge valves were deployed to ensure rapid large-scale discharge when required.
Specialized suppression systems were installed for critical technical spaces, including CO₂ suppression systems for transformer and generator rooms, and a FM200 clean agent system dedicated to the airport’s main control room, ensuring non-disruptive protection for sensitive electronic equipment.
The fire detection and alarm infrastructure was built using two Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) equipped with a total of six loops, complete with GUI and server integration for centralized monitoring. Detection devices included 24 triple IR flame detectors, 1000 meters of linear heat detection cable with six controllers, 60 smoke detectors, 20 heat detectors, 15 manual call points, and 175 monitor modules to interface with various suppression systems. The entire system was connected using 6000 meters of 2×2.5 mm fire-resistant cabling, ensuring continuous operation under extreme conditions.
Through this project, Al Alamain Airport is now fully equipped with a robust, scalable, and internationally compliant fire protection system capable of delivering rapid emergency response while maintaining operational continuity.
