Key Outcome

Key Outcome:

KE QK Grid Station required advanced structural fire containment to protect high-voltage assets and comply with regulatory safety standards.

GreenTech delivered a solution that integrates seamlessly with fire alarm systems in Pakistan, ensuring early detection, controlled fire spread, and improved emergency response.

Executive Summary

GreenTech successfully executed a complete passive fire protection at KE QK Grid Station, significantly enhancing the facility’s ability to withstand fire incidents without compromising grid stability.

The project was carried out in a fully operational grid station where shutdowns were not an option. Through phased execution and careful coordination, GreenTech completed the project safely and on schedule.

The upgraded safety infrastructure now operates alongside addressable fire alarm systems, fire suppression, and earthing and lightning protection to deliver a layered fire defense model.

Introduction

KE QK Grid Station is a critical component of Karachi’s power transmission network, supporting uninterrupted electricity distribution across multiple regions.

Grid stations operate under continuous high electrical loads, making them vulnerable to transformer overheating, cable faults, and electrical fires. While active systems respond to incidents, passive fire protection systems are essential for containing fire and minimizing structural damage.

GreenTech designed a solution aligned with national safety standards and compatible with modern fire alarm consultancy practices used in high-risk power environments.

Challenge

The project installation of passive fire protection at KE QK Grid Station involved several critical challenges:

  • No shutdown windows during installation
  • Protection required for transformers, switchgear rooms, and cable trenches
  • Fire-stopping systems had to withstand extreme heat and electrical stress
  • Full compliance with power-sector fire safety regulations

Each phase demanded precision planning to maintain safety and operational continuity.

Solution Implemented

GreenTech delivered a structured, phase-wise passive fire protection solution synchronized with live grid operations.

Solution Highlights

All systems were tested to ensure reliable performance under operational and environmental stress.

Results

The project of passive fire protection at KE QK Grid Station was completed on time and met all regulatory and operational benchmarks.

Key Results

  • Effective containment of fire risks through enhanced structural resistance
