Engr. Kamal Ram | +91 9041049598 | kamal.mech.engg@gmail.com | Based in Chandigarh, Punjab, India | Serving clients across Gulf, USA, Canada & India.
I’m a Fire Fighting & Plumbing Design Engineer based in India, working globally.
WHAT I DO
I PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION AND PLUMBING SYSTEM DESIGN SERVICES
DELIVERING CODE-COMPLIANT, COST-OPTIMIZED SOLUTIONS ALIGNED WITH NFPA, UFC, FM Global, UPC, NSPC, INTERNATIONAL AND INDIAN STANDARDS.
With over 18 years of Gulf experience and USACE Projects, I design fire protection and plumbing systems for industrial, commercial, and military projects worldwide. My expertise includes hydraulic calculations, seismic bracing design, and code-compliant solutions aligned with NFPA, FM Global, UFC, UAE/Kuwait Fire Code, International and Indian Standards (NBC & IS Codes).
Fire Protection & Plumbing Design Consultant | NFPA & USACE Experience
Here’s What to Expect from the Engineering Design Process
Project Review & Code Assessment
At the initial stage, I review architectural drawings, specifications, and project requirements to determine the applicable codes and design criteria. This includes compliance evaluation with NFPA, FM Global, UFC, UAE Fire Code, NBC 2016, and relevant IS standards.
Project Review & Code Assessment
Designs are coordinated with architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines to ensure clash-free integration. Documentation is prepared for authority submission and approval, ensuring adherence to local and international standards.
System Design & Hydraulic Analysis
Based on project classification and hazard assessment, I develop detailed fire protection and plumbing system layouts. Hydraulic calculations (HASS or manual verifications), pipe sizing, pressure loss analysis, and seismic bracing calculations are performed to ensure full code compliance and optimized system performance.
Project Review & Code Assessment
Upon design finalization, I provide complete shop drawings, calculation packages, BoQ support, and technical clarifications. I remain available for revisions, RFI responses, and construction-stage engineering assistance.

FEATURED PROJECTS:
Part of the U.S. Department of Defense’s FMS program, this specialized aircraft maintenance facility supports corrosion treatment and repair operations for F/A-18 Super Hornets. Designed a UFC & NFPA-compliant wet-pipe sprinkler system for a specialized F/A-18 corrosion control hangar at Al Jaber Air Base, including hydraulic calculations, zoning, and full MEP coordination.
Developed a complete automatic wet-pipe sprinkler system with parking garage dry systems and combined standpipe/sprinkler risers for a 41-storey residential high-rise. Performed HASS software hydraulic calculations for standpipe, sprinkler, and dry systems, incorporating friction losses, elevation head, and hose allowances. Verified city water supply, ensuring a 12% safety margin, and selected a 750 gpm fire pump with PRVs to meet NFPA 13, NFPA 14, OBC, and Toronto Fire Services requirements.
Designed a UFC & NFPA-compliant wet-pipe sprinkler system with hydraulic recalculations, diesel fire pumps, and GRP water tank integration for a U.S. Army communications facility.
For the manufacturing facility’s fire protection system, I designed and calculated the seismic bracing layout in full compliance with FM Global Data Sheet 2-8. The scope included zone-of-influence (ZOI) plans, brace load calculations, brace selection, and detailed data sheets, ensuring both lateral and longitudinal restraints met FM Global maximum spacing limits. Integrated with the sprinkler layout and coordinated with structural elements to achieve full code compliance and reliable seismic performance.
