Attention: Mr. Adam Ripper Development Engineering City of Cambridge 50 Dickson Street, 3rd Floor P.O. Box 669 Cambridge ON N1R 5W8
Dear Mr. Ripper,
Reference: 825-875 Main Street, Cambridge ON Water Distribution / Fire Flow Analysis
1 INTRODUCTION
A fire flow analysis has been undertaken for the proposed 825-875 Main Street Residential Site Plan development in Cambridge, Ontario. The subject property is located directly south of Main Street, northwest of the future Sparrow Avenue and Nottinghill Drive intersection. The subject property is bounded by existing residential lands to the south and east (Greengate Subdivision), residential lands to the west and Main Street to the north. Please see Figure 1.0 for a Site Location Plan.
The property is currently used for low density residential purposes complete with a commercial moving facility. The proposed development concept includes the addition of 95 to 110 condominium townhome units complete with asphalt driveway and parking areas, amenity areas and a stormwater management system. A 0.33 hectare residential block, owned by others is located along the easterly property boundary. There is provision in the design of the subject Site Plan for the connection of the 0.33 hectare parcel. As such, the domestic and fire flow demands from the 0.33 hectare residential block have been included in the analysis of the subject property. It has been estimated that approximately 20 condominium towmhome units can be constructed on the 0.33 hectare residential block. The preliminary Site Servicing and Grading Plans for the site can be found in Appendix A.
The site is proposed to be serviced from Sparrow Avenue which is located in Cambridge Pressure Zone 1A with a hydraulic grade line (HGL) of approximately 349.5 m. As part of the Greengate Subdivision, a 200 mm diameter watermain has been constructed on Sparrow Avenue complete with a 200 mm diameter stub extending into the southerly portion of the subject property. The proposed watermain network on site is to connect to the existing 200 mm diameter stub.
Fire coverage will be provided by proposed onsite hydrants. The proposed watermain size ranges from 150 to 200 mm in diameter for sections providing both domestic and fire protection and 50-100 mm in diameter for localized domestic sections.

Reference: 825-875 Main Street, Cambridge ON Water Distribution / Fire Flow Analysis
This analysis reviews the required water and fire flow demands for the proposed development and determines the required watermain size to service the proposed site.
2 METHODOLOGY
The fire flow analysis consists of the following components:
• Determine fire flow demand requirements using the Ontario Building Code (OBC), and cross-reference with the recommendations of the Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS), Water Supply for Public Fire Protection, 1999, Part II, Guide for Determination of Required Fire Flow
• Undertake a fire flow simulation under maximum day plus fire
• Address velocities during fire flow conditions with respect to the recommendations of the Region of Waterloo.
• Ensure adequate pressure and fire flow are available to satisfy both the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change(MOECC), FUS and/or OBC criteria
2.1 BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
Hydraulic grade line information for the subject site is based on information received from the Region of Waterloo. In correspondence dated February 15, 2017, HGL’s representing the boundary conditions were provided. Correspondence can be found in Appendix B. For fire flow scenarios, the Region of Waterloo provided a table with the available flow and the respective residual pressure. This data was used in the WaterCAD model to provide the respective pressure at a given flow.
The normal operating pressures on site range between 487 – 516 kPa. Domestic demand calculations used in the modeling have been provided in Appendix C.
2.2 FIRE FLOW DEMAND
To assess the fire flow requirements for the proposed buildings, both the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and the Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS) have been referenced. It should be noted that specific building details were not available at the time of preparation for this report. Therefore, a conservative estimate for the building materials, fire separations, and contents was assumed, based on experience, for typical townhouse developments.

2.3 ONTARIO BUILDING CODE
Using the OBC terminology, the classification of the largest, worst-case building is Group C, of combustible construction with floor assemblies and load bearing walls as fire separations. Based on an average building height, separation distance from other structures, and gross floor area of each unit/structure, the required OBC fire flows were calculated as shown on Table 1. These fire flows should be provided with a minimum residual pressure of 140 kPa, as per the MOE guidelines. See Appendix C for OBC calculations.
2.4 FIRE UNDERWRITERS SURVEY
A fire flow demand analysis was completed for each type of proposed structure. The buildings were assumed to be of ordinary wood-frame, brick and metal siding exterior construction. The floor area used in the analysis conservatively assumes that there are no rated fire walls subdividing units, and therefore represents the entire row unit. The contents of the buildings are considered limited combustible, as defined in the FUS guidelines, consisting of normal low-risk residential occupancy. There will be no sprinkler system installed. The exposure charges are based on separation distance from adjacent buildings. Based on the above criteria, the fire flow demands were calculated as shown on Table 1 below using the FUS method. See Appendix C for FUS calculations.

3 RESULTS
A fire flow analysis was performed using the boundary conditions and demand criteria outlined above. It was determined that the site can be provided with the required fire flows while generally adhering to Region of Waterloo and MOECC residual pressure of 140 kPa (20 psi) and maximum pipe velocity criteria of 5 m/s. A schematic of the model and detailed output report can be found in Appendix D.
Table 2 below summarizes the results of the modeling with the proposed servicing configuration.

J-1 167 >172 321 297 Yes J-2 167 >172 171 197 Yes J-3 164 167 140 237 Yes J-4 164 >172 170 206 Yes J-5 167 >172 369 345 Yes
Based on the results as shown above, it is the general conclusion that adequate pressure and fire flows can be provided to the site.
The Region of Waterloo recommends maintaining the velocity in watermains below 5 m/s where possible, to prevent transient pressures from damaging the pipe system. The watermain configuration for the site can generally deliver the required fire flow to the onsite hydrants while maintaining the majority of the velocities of less than or equal to 5 m/s. However, there are couple of locations where the pipe velocity is 5.97 m/s and 5.35 m/s under the maximum fire flow scenario. These are in localized areas for short sections of pipe and are considered acceptable.
4 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
From the above analysis, the following conclusions can be drawn:
• The proposed structures on site will consist of 95 to 110 townhome units constructed of ordinary combustible construction, low hazard occupancy, and will not have a sprinkler system
• The site is to be serviced via the existing 200 mm diameter watermain stub located at the south portion of the property boundary, connected to the 200 mm diameter watermain located on Sparrow Avenue.

• The on-site water distribution system ranges in size from 150 mm to 200 mm in diameter forwatermains providing both domestic and fire protection and 50-100 mm in diameter fordedicated domestic lines.
• Both the OBC and the FUS recommended fire flows can be provided by onsite hydrants whileadhering to the minimum Region of Waterloo and MOECC recommended residual pressure of140 kPa (20 psi)
• Watermain velocities within the proposed site are generally below 5 m/s
• The sufficient residual pressures during fire flow indicate that fire flow capability will not exceedthe water supply available under the existing Cambridge Pressure Zone 1A conditions

Calculation of Occupancy Surcharge or Reduction (OSR)
OSR = -15 % (the contents of this building are considered limited combustible to non-combustible, see page 21 FUS, 99)
Calculations of revised fire flow F:
F = 6,429 L/min = 107 L/s
3. Charge to Required Fire Flow Based on Presence of Automatic Sprinkler Protection
0 % = no reduction due to absence of automatic sprinkler system-25 % = reduction without proper system supervision including water flow and control valve alarm service-50 % = reduction with proper system supervision including water flow and control valve alarm service
Calculation of Fire Flow Reduction Due to Presence of Automatic Sprinkler (AS)
AS = 0 % (No sprinkler system installed)
Reduction in Fire Flow (RF):
RF = 0 L/min = 0 L/s

4. Charge to Required Fire Flow Based on Proximity to Other Buildings
The charge for any one side generally should not exceed the following limits for the separations shown
Separation Charge Building Separation0 to 3 m 25 to 20 % Wall Distance3 to 10 m 20 to 15 % Left 21.610 to 20 m 15 to 10 % Right 21.620 to 30 m 10 to 5 % Front 13.730 to 45 m 5 to 0 % Back 13.7
Normally any unpierced party wall/firewall considered to form a boundary when determining floor areas may warrant up to a 10 % exposure charge.
Calculation of Fire Flow Increase Due to Proximity to Other Buildings (PB)
PB = PL+PR+PF+PRR
where,
PL = proximity charge for left side of building = 9.2 %PR = proximity charge for right side of building = 9.2 %PF = proximity charge for front of building = 13.2 %
PRR = proximity charge for rear of building = 13.2 %
PB = 45 %
Increase in Fire Flow (IF):
IF = 3,381 L/min = 56 L/s
5. Final Fire Flow (F) Required
F = F (From Section 2.0) - RF (From Section 3) + IF (From Section 4)
= 6,429 L/min - 0 L/min + 3,381 L/minDia.
= 9,810 L/min = 164 L/s 200 dia.velocity 5.20 m/s
= 2,592 Gal /min
6. Additional Check List
Wood Frame Structures Separated By Less Than 3.0 m Are Considered One StructureWood or Shake Roofs That Could Contribute to Spreading of Fire Should have 2000-4000 L/min of Fire Flow Added
NOTES: Assumed that there are no fire walls separating floors or units (conservative estimate)
