Vision 2020 – 12 month action plan

1. Christchurch Rebuild2. Seismic Upgrades3. Maintenance Process 4. Exhaust Fume Management


3

A national network of facilities that are well maintained and fit for purpose.

Facilities will always be good enough to do the job they were designed to do so that required

NZFS operational outcomes can be consistently achieved.

• 1) Safety – Building must be safe for occupation

• 2) Sanitary – Buildings must be healthy to work in (heating/water/dry)

• 3) Fit for Purpose – Buildings must work and be effective

• 4) Sustainability – The building must last 50 years

Key strategy is to manage property service life to 50 years applying building act & asset management principles. New builds are split into 3 areas:

• Strategic New Build and Relocation• End of Life (Extend or Build New) • Premature End of Life (Monolithic Cladding, No cavity, Seismic failure)

In order to extend property service life do we refurbish or rebuild?

• If refurbishment cost is > 60% of cost of a new build = review of project

• If refurbishment cost is > 80% of cost of a new build = new build

• Property service life of 50 years (building act & asset management principle)

• If refurbishment is > 60% of cost of a new build = review of project

• If refurbishment is > 80% of cost of a new build = new build

• 76 buildings that are at the end of their service life or forecasted to be at the end of

their service life are yet to be scheduled. This risk requires an action.

• Looking back, 45 buildings that are at their end of property service life are already

part of other property programmes. Risk mitigated.

• Looking forward, 63 buildings that will be at their end of property service life are

already part of other property programmes. Risk mitigated.

Volunteer Appliance Bay Ventilation Guideline Performance Objectives

1. Promote a safe working environment that satisfies NZFS operational requirements

2. Appliance bays that achieve NZ Building Code fresh air compliance level

3. Standardised ventilation solution for appliance bays across all NZFS fire stations

4. Scalable solutions for application across all NZFS fire stations –Volunteer, Auxiliary, Composite and Career

5. A ventilation solution in compliance with the “New Zealand Fire Service appliance bay ventilation guideline”


NZFS – Appliance Bay Ventilation Design Guidelines(Benchmarking Model)

Good Practice

Direct Exhaust Extraction System

Engine Exhaust Adjacent Fire Fighting Apparel/EquipmentEngine Bay Doors Closed Upon Engine Start up

Fire Fighters on Board - Start Fire Engines

High Ceiling Stations - Passive High Level Ventilation Louvers

Passive Ventilation - Low Level Louvers Directly Adjacent Exhaust

Fire Fighting Apparel area in Pressurized Separate Space

Appliance Bay Internal Doors Open to Direct Exhaust Discharge

Wall Extract Adjacent Exhaust in Single/ Multi-Bay Stations

NZ BuildingCodeAchieved Front Doors Open

Front & Rear Doors Open

Bad Practice

Best PracticeAppliance Bay Internal Doors Closed – Occupied Offices/Accommodation Spaces Positively Pressurized

Australian Standard AS 1668.2


The assessments may establish that a specified system to meet

NZ ventilation requirements is not required and a simple change to good or best practice is needed.


Natural and Mechanical Ventilation Solutions


Design Ventilation Guideline/StandardNext Steps• Programme development and introduction.• National audit of current solutions in fire stations.• NZFS to develop a guideline benchmark to follow.• ROI to source providers of ventilation and extraction systems

available to NZFS nationally.• NZFS to develop a framework for assessments to determine

what solutions fire stations require.• Run trial in region 5• Prioritisation of fire stations to be released nationally.• Assessments to be undertaken by a regionally based

procured assessor (Surveyor/Architect).• Assessments to be co-reviewed centrally by Mech. Engineer• Installation to be consulted and then commenced• Every fire station will have a solution be it operational

change or a natural or mechanical system.
