Fire Protection Information System

The project title is Fire Protection Information System consist of Emergency Response
Plan and maintenance of Fire Protection equipment and it is a case study of MMC Oil &
Gas Office which were located at level 20, 21 & 22 of Menara Asia Life, Jalan Tun
Razak, Kuala Lumpur . The objective of the project is to develop and implement a GIS
database for Fire Protection System of MMC Office while perform analysis on Fire
Protection System maintenance information capabilities of Emergency Response Plan
(ERP). These Project objectives are also to assess the effectiveness of GIS for fire
protection equipment, maintenance management: Maintenance is a very important task
for a well-developed country in order to avoid from any catastrophe. Maintenance of a
building especially Fire Protection System for a large scale building such as MMC Office
could be costly and therefore it could be neglected due to the high cost to maintain. Thus,
a proper maintenance management of a building will minimize cost to perform the
maintenance within the given budget. Scope of the project is to evaluate the performance
of Fire Protection maintenance and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) and, minimize the
maintenance cost of high- and medium-rise building while taking into account the Fire
Protection System management. This will focus on several critical aspects in the building
which need a frequent checking/maintaining, by designing a user-friendly databases and
easily accessible by users. In order to complete the project, a research, raw maintenance
database gathering, compilation of building plan (autoCAD format) need to be done.
Then, the database will be converted in a newly developed database system by using GIS
applications. Learning GIS -based software for instance Maplnfo 7.0 Professional is
going to be crucial for this project. To design a user-friendly interface, Microsoft Visual
Basic is going to be used by manipulating the GIS system database. At the end of the
timeline, the end-product of this project is going to be a system database which will assist
building managers and engineers in building managing Fire Protection System of a
building more efficiently.
