Project Case Studies
Selected project summaries from our work in Kutch and Gujarat. Each case study describes the client context, fire safety challenge, systems installed, and outcome.
Gandhidham, Kutch
Gandhidham Logistics Warehouse — ESFR Sprinkler System
A major logistics operator commissioning a new 12,000 sq.m high-bay warehouse in Gandhidham's Adipur logistics corridor required fire protection designed for Class III commodity storage at 10 metre rack height — with Fire NOC approval before cargo operations could begin. The facility sits within a cluster of port-linked warehouses serving Mundra-adjacent cargo flows, where insurers and port authorities increasingly require documented sprinkler performance and witnessed flow testing before covering stored goods. The client had a fixed 14-week construction window aligned with a confirmed tenant move-in date, leaving no margin for Fire NOC rejection and re-inspection delays. Rachna Fire & Safety was engaged at structural completion stage to deliver complete fire protection EPC — from commodity classification and hydraulic design through installation, commissioning, witnessed testing, and NOC documentation submission to the Gandhidham fire authority.

Bhuj Multi-Specialty Hospital — Addressable Alarm Upgrade
A multi-specialty hospital in Bhuj with 120 beds across four floors faced Fire NOC renewal rejection due to an obsolete conventional fire alarm system installed 14 years earlier. The existing system could not identify fault or alarm locations beyond a floor-level zone — when a detector faulted, maintenance staff searched entire floors to find the defective unit. Horn-only notification on patient floors lacked voice evacuation capability required by Gujarat fire authorities for healthcare occupancies. Emergency lighting on the third and fourth floors had multiple failed battery units discovered only during the fire officer's renewal inspection. The hospital needed a complete alarm upgrade without evacuating patients or closing clinical services — a requirement that ruled out single-phase demolition and replacement.

Mundra Port-Adjacent Facility — Hydrant & Corrosion Protection
A port-adjacent logistics facility in Mundra required a hydrant network capable of meeting insurer-mandated flow rates for a 6,500 sq.m cargo handling yard and single-storey storage shed — with equipment specified to survive coastal salt-air corrosion that destroys standard carbon steel components within three to five years. The client's previous fire equipment vendor had installed standard hydrant pillars at a neighbouring facility; within three years, 60% of outdoor valve assemblies were seized or leaking due to corrosion. The insurer's pre-coverage survey identified corrosion risk as a condition for policy issuance, requiring documented marine-grade specifications and a maintenance programme with corrosion inspection protocols. Rachna Fire & Safety was engaged to design and install a complete hydrant system with corrosion-resistant specifications and a two-year AMC programme with quarterly corrosion inspection built into the maintenance scope.
