Power Transmission & Grid Infrastructure

KKI Grid Station, Pakistan

400+ engineering, technical, and operations personnel

KKI Grid Station required a robust fire protection system to safeguard high-voltage equipment, transformers, control panels, and transmission infrastructure.

GreenTech designed, installed, tested, and commissioned a compliant fire safety solution tailored for critical grid operations.

Executive Summary

GreenTech successfully executed the fire protection system at KKI Grid Station, significantly enhancing safety across all operational zones.

The key challenge was implementing advanced fire protection in a live grid station where shutdowns were not an option.

Through careful planning and phased execution, GreenTech completed the project with zero operational disruption.

The installed system now delivers rapid detection, effective suppression, centralized monitoring, and full compliance with local and international fire safety standards through integrated fire alarm systems in Pakistan and suppression technologies.

Introduction

KKI Grid Station is a critical component of the national power transmission network, ensuring stable electricity distribution across connected regions.

Fire protection at such facilities is essential to prevent equipment failure, outages, and safety risks.

Operating under high electrical load and continuous operation, grid stations face risks such as electrical faults, transformer overheating, and cable fires.

The fire protection system at KKI Grid Station, implemented by GreenTech, combines detection, suppression, and grounding solutions similar to advanced industrial fire safety systems used in high-risk power environments.

Challenge

The project involved several technical and operational challenges:

Grid operations could not be interrupted during installation
Fire protection was required for transformers, switchgear rooms, control rooms, and cable trenches
Detection systems had to be highly sensitive without false alarms
Compliance with power-sector fire safety standards was mandatory

Each phase required precise coordination to ensure safety, continuity, and regulatory compliance.

Solution Implemented

GreenTech delivered a structured, phase-wise fire protection solution across the grid station.
All activities were synchronized with live operations to maintain grid reliability.

The solution included:

Addressable fire alarm and detection systems aligned with fire alarm systems for buildings
Comprehensive passive fire protection measures are designed to contain fire and smoke spread and maintain structural integrity.
Room integrity testing was conducted for all fire suppression rooms to ensure effective containment and optimal suppression performance
Centralized monitoring for faster emergency response

Extensive testing and commissioning ensured system performance under electrical load, heat, and environmental stress.

Results

The fire protection system at KKI Grid Station was completed on schedule and met all regulatory requirements.
The facility now benefits from:

Faster fire detection and response through integrated alarms and suppression
Reliable suppression for transformers and switchgear assets
Full fire hydrant and water distribution coverage using fire hydrant systems in Pakistan
Enhanced safety for operational and maintenance staff

This significantly reduces the risk of outages, equipment damage, and operational losses.

Client Satisfaction

KKI Grid Station management expressed strong satisfaction with the project’s execution. The installation was completed safely, efficiently, and without impacting grid operations.

The new system delivers accurate detection, rapid suppression, and dependable protection for mission-critical power infrastructure—reinforcing confidence in GreenTech as experienced fire safety consultants for complex facilities.

Future Steps

GreenTech will continue supporting KKI Grid Station with preventive maintenance, inspections, and system optimization.
Future enhancements may include remote monitoring, system upgrades, and integration with specialized special hazard fire protection systems for critical electrical zones.

GreenTech Expertise

The fire protection system at KKI Grid Station highlights GreenTech’s ability to deliver safety solutions in high-risk, high-voltage environments.

From design to commissioning and post-installation support, GreenTech ensures compliance, reliability, and long-term asset protection—similar to its work on firefighting systems for thermal power plants.
