  Garbage Chute<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n The interior surface of the chute should be preferably smooth free from projections.<\/li>\n The chute also needs to be vented at the top with the opening preferably being the same cross-sectional area as the chute.<\/li>\n Vertical waste chutes above the storage or compacting room shall be enclosed within a continuous fire-rated enclosure.<\/li>\n The walls of the enclosure shall have a fire-resistance rating of not less than 2 hours if the building is more than four stories and 1 hour if the building is less than four stories.<\/li>\n Each section is insulated to reduce noise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n CHUTE LOADING DOORS<\/h2>\n \n All Chute loading doors shall be provided with a self-closing and fire-resistant door of rating not less than an hour.<\/li>\n Design and installation shall be such that no part of the frame or door projects in the interior of the chute.<\/li>\n Chute loading doors shall be provided exclusively in rooms designed for accessing the chutes and shall be protected by:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n – Enclosing the area with fire barrier without windows that has a 1-hour fire-resistance rating<\/p>\n – Protecting the area with an automatic fire extinguishing system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n CHUTE DISCHARGE DOORS<\/h2>\n \n The bottom of a waste chute shall be protected by an approved automatic\/self-closing door with an adequate fire-resistance rating of 1-1.5 hours<\/li>\n The Waste chute shall terminate or discharge directly into a room having a minimum fire-resistance rating not less than that for the chute.<\/li>\n Openings of the chutes in the room should be through appropriately designed chute discharge doors.<\/li>\n Trash gravity chutes should not discharge directly into an incinerator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER PROTECTION<\/h2>\n \n The Metal gravity chutes are required to be protected internally by automatic sprinklers.<\/li>\n Sprinkler shall be installed at regular intervals at alternate floor levels for more than two-storied buildings with a mandatory sprinkler fitted at the lowest level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER PROTECTION<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \n Sprinklers should be recessed out of the chute area through which the material travels.<\/li>\n Sprinklers are also to be installed in the chute discharge room.<\/li>\n Sprinklers may be directly loaded through the domestic water supply line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n CONCLUSION<\/h2>\n \n Proper construction and maintenance of chutes and discharge rooms provide improved protection to building tenants from the effects of smoke and fire.<\/li>\n It also acts as a fire buffer in helping prevent fire to spread.<\/li>\n It needs regular cleaning and inspection to be in peak operating condition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Construction Detail of Chutes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Garbage Disposal System in High Rise Buildings Introduction:- Arrangements for central trash collection by means of an enclosed vertical passageway in a building, used for transferring trash by gravity to a room at the bottom or to a compactor is called GRAVITY WASTE CHUTE.
