AS BUILT/CONSTRUCTION
DETAILS
KPM provided MEP design services for this grade A office building located in an area highly susceptible to flooding in Mumbai.
■ Design included flood barriers located at the ground floor to provided protection from flooding to the 3 basement levels.
■ Photovolatic panels installed at roof level to provide a renewable source of power
generation for use within the building, to offset the use of grid connected power supplies reducing the energy consumption.
■ Electrical design for power had multiple levels of resilience to overcome issues of power failure during flooding events.
CHALLENGES
SOLUTIONS
Access to Substation and DG room is designed to be above the maximum flood level. All the cable entries and ventilation ducts etc. into the substation and DG room are designed above this level. Detailed coordination was done with Architect. Basement wall punch-outs were proposed at places where we could manage open space requirements at the ground level. Detailed calculations were submitted to local authorities complying with their requirement. On every floor the facade was divided into two parts, top part opens automatically in case of fire and would allow the smoke accumulated in the office area to purge out naturally.
