Airport
Fire Protection Master Plan
Phoenix-Mesa
Gateway Airport, Mesa, Arizona
Dibble provided planning
services to the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport
Authority to prepare the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway
Airport Fire Protection Master Plan. The Master
Plan evaluated modifications to the existing
water supply infrastructure to improve flow
and pressure for low and moderate fire protection
demands, and evaluated zone-based dedicated
storage and pumping systems for proposed high-demand
facilities such as hangars using deluge and
foam fire protection systems. Tasks included
inventory of the existing water supply and
distribution systems and existing facilities
and their fire protection requirements; evaluation
of the impacts of existing and proposed airport
facilities (hangars, fuel storage, terminals,
etc.) on the fire protection supply system;
identification of potential sources of water;
and evaluation of fire protection alternatives
to meet existing and future demands, including
relative costs and benefits. Alternatives
development involved conceptual design, water
systems modeling (a computer analysis modeling
nine different water system alternatives with
an 800-pipe model),
