6. PROPOSED DESIGN OF AN ACTIVE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM BASED ON K3 USING ALARM DETECTORS AND SPRINKLERS IN THE WORKING AREA OF AIR SQUADRON 17, HALIM PERDANAKUSUMA AIR BASE

Abstrak

This research aims to develop a design proposal for an alarm detector and
sprinkler system in the workspace of Air Squadron 17 at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force
Base. Aircraft hangars are work facilities with a high fire risk due to aircraft maintenance
activities, the use of technical equipment, the storage of chemicals, and the presence of
flammable materials. From an Industrial Engineering perspective, these conditions require the
design of a safe, reliable, and sustainable work system through the application of
Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) principles. One effective fire risk control measure is
the implementation of an active fire protection system in the form of automatic alarm detectors
and sprinklers. The research methods used included identifying potential fire hazards,
analyzing fire protection system requirements, calculating the number and placement of alarm
detectors and sprinklers based on applicable standards, as well as designing pipelines and
summarizing material requirements. References used in the design included the NFPA 13
standard and national regulations related to OHS and fire protection. The results of the study
indicate that the proposed alarm detector and sprinkler system design is capable of providing
optimal fire protection throughout the hangar workspace. This design is expected to improve
personnel safety, protect strategic assets, and support the operational continuity of Air
Squadron 17. Furthermore, the results of this study can serve as a technical reference in
designing fire protection systems in similar work facilities.
