How is the height of a fire dike calculated?
There are two options for the maximum height: 1 is the specified height – 1 meter for vertical installations and 0.5 meters for horizontal ones. 2 After determining the length and width of the fire dike, the calculated height of the dike is increased by 0.2 meters
The height of the fire dike should not be too high; the angle of the fire pumps located outside the dike must also be taken into consideration
It must not be higher than 2.2 meters. The mention of 50160
It seems there was a discussion previously that it shouldn’t exceed human height, as too tall cofferdams would block people’s view and, in special circumstances, hinder the observation of what’s inside the cofferdam
Yes, that’s what is said. And I take that into account when designing. Generally, it should not exceed the range of human vision, which means around 1.4–1.6 meters, so as to facilitate viewing of the interior. According to strict regulations, the maximum height is 2.2 meters. This is the regulation on 50160. This is closely related to the amount of land allocated by the landowner; if the landowner allocates more land, it’s easier for us to work, but if they allocate less, we have no choice but to raise the prices.
