A breif description of Scope below. Please find full spec attached.

Within the EcoPark, there is a firewater ring main system consisting of:

1)	2 x Firewater Pumps
2)	1 x Sprinkler Header with level control (float switch start)
3)	1 x Fire Water Ring Main (with pressure-controlled start capability)
4)	40 x Isolation Valves
5)	18 x Fire Hose Points
6)	18 x Fire Hose Connections
7)	20 x Fire Hydrants
8)	1 x Crossover Pipeline (for pressure compensation - to be decommissioned and replaced with the jockey pump)

The Eco Park Firewater Pump Project aims to install two new diesel firewater pumps and integrate them with the London Energy DCS system. This will enhance the control, monitoring, and visibility of the fire protection system compared to the currently installed setup. Additionally, a new jockey pump will replace the existing crossover system to maintain pressure in the Firewater Ring Main.

In addition to the installation of two new firewater pumps and a jockey pump, this project requires enhanced visual, audible, and control capabilities. All components and alarms must be integrated with the SCADA system, ensuring seamless monitoring and control

B)Project Scope

Replace the existing firewater pumps with two new diesel driven firewater pumps. Disconnection of the existing cables from the current firewater pumps and re-termination into the new firewater pump panel. Extending the existing cables via a JB or cable joint. Installation of any additional cables (to be specified and installed by the contractor).

Select, procure and install a new jockey pump to maintain Ring Main pressure. Installation of any additional cables (power and control) for the jockey pump.

Upgrade repeater panels to communicate all alarms and faults to the SCADA system.

4)	Implement DCS-based control and monitoring of the firewater pumps and jockey pump through SCADA.
