Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a fire / water overflow work site management system and a fire / water overflow work site management method.
Background Art
[0002] In nuclear power plants, after the application of new regulatory standards, based on Article 17 of the safety regulations (preparation of systems for large-scale damage such as fires, internal water overflows, volcanic effects, other natural disasters, toxic gases, major accidents, etc.), "hazard management" such as fire protection and water overflow protection is required. That is, "for the area where work is carried out, the items brought in should be below the allowable load and within the allowable volume value", "the opening and operation of fire doors and protective doors are prohibited", and also, "in the case of tornado countermeasures, management of restrictions on the number of vehicles in the peripheral protection area and within the protection area" is required.
Prior Art Documents
[0006] In other words, there is a need to develop a system that can strictly manage the delivery of equipment and materials in conjunction with work area management using an already developed area management system, and furthermore, a system that can link these work area management, equipment delivery management, and process management systems, thereby making it easy to manage at the work site so that the values related to fire and water overflow of delivered equipment and materials do not exceed permissible levels.
[0007] Embodiments of the present invention have been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aim to provide a fire and flood work site management system and a fire and flood work site management method that can reduce the labor required for managing fires and floods at work sites involving equipment and materials containing flammable materials. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] The fire and flood work site management system in an embodiment of the present invention comprises an area information management unit that manages information about the work area, an equipment information management unit that inputs and manages information about equipment and materials, including flammable materials, brought into the work site, and a process information management unit that manages information about the work process. These management units are coordinated and centrally managed, and the system is configured to display the status of the equipment and materials brought into the work site in relation to the permissible values for fire and flood, in association with at least one of the work area and the work process.
[0009] The fire and flood work site management method in an embodiment of the present invention is characterized by centrally managing in conjunction an area information management system that manages information about the work area, an equipment information management system that inputs and manages information about equipment and materials including flammable materials brought into the work site, and a process information management system that manages information about the work process, and presenting the status of the equipment and materials brought into the work site in relation to the permissible values for fire and flood, in association with at least one of the work area and the work process. [Effects of the Invention]

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a fire / water overflow work site management system according to an embodiment. The fire / water overflow work site management system 10 shown in FIG. 1 presents the situation of values related to fire and water overflow (for example, calorific value, fire load, capital equipment temporary placement area described later) for the capital equipment and materials including combustibles carried into the work site in the construction or maintenance work in facilities such as nuclear power plants, in association with at least one of the working area and the working process, and is configured to include an area information management unit 11, a capital equipment information management unit 12, a process information management unit 13, and a display unit 14. Among these, the area information management unit 11, the capital equipment information management unit 12, and the process information management unit 13 are cooperatively and centrally managed in the fire / water overflow work site management system 10.
[0013] That is, the area information management unit 11 manages information related to the working areas 1A, 1B,... in the equipment layout diagram 1 shown in FIG. 2, and as shown in FIG. 1, includes a first input unit 15, a first cooperation processing unit 16, and an attribute information database 17.
[0014] Using the first input unit 15, the attribute information related to the working areas 1A, 1B,... is input into the first cooperation processing unit 16. When inputting using this first input unit 15, an attribute information input screen 18 is displayed on the display unit 14 by specifying (clicking) the working areas 1A, 1B,... with a mouse or the like on the equipment layout diagram 1 (FIG. 2) displayed on the display unit 14, and the attribute information of the working areas 1A, 1B,... is input into this attribute information input screen 18.
[0015] As attribute information, for example, there are 23 items including management number, project name, prime contractor, prime contractor staff, primary company, primary person in charge, primary staff, secondary / tertiary company, secondary / tertiary person in charge, secondary / tertiary staff, work plant, work date (start), work date (end), contract item name code, contract item name, construction item name code, construction item name, work content, area location, worker (member), power station attendance, work type, and remarks. The attribute information of these work areas 1A, 1B... may be input with general information approximately three months ago and detailed information approximately one month ago.
[0016] The first cooperation processing unit 16 has an attribute information input function for work areas 1A, 1B... and a function (information cooperation function described later) for cooperating the respective information of work areas 1A, 1B... and capital equipment. In the attribute information input function of work areas 1A, 1B... in the first cooperation processing unit 16, the attribute information of work areas 1A, 1B... input as described above is stored in the attribute information database 17 and can be displayed when work areas 1A, 1B... are clicked in the equipment layout diagram 1 (Figure 2) displayed on the display unit 14.
[0017] The capital equipment information management department 12 inputs and manages information on capital equipment including combustibles carried into the work site, and is composed of a second input unit 19, a capital equipment information database 20, and an application form creation processing unit 21.
[0018] Information on the capital equipment carried into work areas 1A, 1B... is input into the application form creation processing unit 21 using the second input unit 19. At the time of this input, information on the capital equipment carried into work areas 1A, 1B... is selected from the capital equipment information database 20 in which information on the capital equipment is stored in advance, and the selected information on the capital equipment is input from the second input unit 19 into the application form creation processing unit 21.
[0019] The application form creation processing unit 21 creates a fire / flood application form 23 (Figure 3) for equipment to be brought into work areas 1A, 1B, etc., based on the information about equipment entered from the second input unit 19. There are two patterns for creating this application form: the "creation pattern from area," which is created by selecting work areas 1A, 1B, etc. in the equipment layout diagram (Figure 2), and the "creation pattern from area list," which is created from the fire / flood area list 26 (Figure 6).
[0020] The "Creation Pattern from Area" is performed after attribute information for work areas 1A, 1B, etc. has been entered by the first input unit 15 and the first linkage processing unit 16. In other words, when the "Application Registration / Update" word 22 is clicked on the attribute information input screen 18 (Figure 2) for work areas 1A, 1B, etc. where equipment and materials are brought in in the equipment layout diagram 1, the application creation processing unit 21 displays the fire / flood application form shown in Figure 3 on the display unit 14. Then, when the "Temporary Placement List" tab 24 in this fire / flood application form 23 is clicked, the application creation processing unit 21 displays the temporary placement list 25 shown in Figure 4 on the display unit 14. When information on equipment and materials, including combustible materials, to be brought into the corresponding work areas 1A, 1B, etc. is entered on this temporary placement list 25 screen, the application creation processing unit 21 completes the fire / flood application form 23 shown in Figure 3.
[0021] In the "Creation Pattern from Area List," the application creation processing unit 21 displays the fire / flood area list 26 shown in Figure 6 on the display unit 14. When an "area" is specified in this fire / flood area list 26 and the "Create New Application" button 27 is clicked, the application creation processing unit 21 displays the fire / flood application form 23 shown in Figure 3 on the display unit 14. Then, as described above, when the "Temporary Placement List" tab 24 in the fire / flood application form 23 is clicked, the temporary placement list 25 (Figure 4) is displayed and the information of the equipment and materials to be brought into the corresponding work areas 1A, 1B, etc. is entered.
[0022] Subsequently, when the "Create New Area" button 28 in the fire / flood application form 23 shown in Figure 3 is clicked, the application form creation processing unit 21 displays the equipment layout diagram 29 shown in Figure 7 on the display unit 14. When the corresponding work areas 1A, 1B, etc. in this equipment layout diagram 29 are clicked, the application form creation processing unit 21 displays the attribute information input screen 18 (Figure 2) on the display unit 14. The attribute information for the corresponding work areas 1A, 1B, etc. is entered into this attribute information input screen 18 by the first input unit 15 and the first linkage processing unit 16 and stored in the attribute information database 17, thereby completing the fire / flood application form 23 shown in Figure 3.
[0023] The fire and flood application form 23 shown in Figure 3 above indicates whether the values related to fire (e.g., heat generation, fire load) and flood values related to flooding (temporary storage area of equipment) for the equipment brought into each work area 1A, 1B, etc. meet the respective allowable values (OK) or not (NG) (see symbols α and β in Figure 3). Here, the heat generation is the amount of heat generated (MJ) when a fire occurs in the work area where the equipment is brought in, and the fire load is this heat generation multiplied by the floor area (m²) of the work area where the equipment is brought in. 2 This is the value obtained by dividing by ( ). In addition, the temporary equipment storage area is the floor area occupied when the equipment is temporarily stored in the work area where the equipment has been brought in. Note that if the heat output or the temporary equipment storage area exceeds the permissible value, it will also be indicated in the fire / flood area list 26 shown in Figure 6, for example.
[0024] Furthermore, the application form creation processing unit 21 has a workflow function for obtaining approval from the recipient of the fire / flood application form 23 (Figure 3) created as described above, by sending it from the sender, for example, a construction company, to the recipient, for example, an electric company's email address 30 (Figure 5).
[0025] In other words, when the "Submit Application" button 31 on the fire / flood application form 23 (Figure 3) displayed on the display unit 14 is clicked, the application form creation processing unit 21 displays the submit application screen 32 shown in Figure 5. When the "Request Application" button 33 on this submit application screen 32 is clicked, the application form creation processing unit 21 sends the fire / flood application form 23 to the pre-registered recipient email address 30.
[0026] As described above, the first linkage processing unit 16 shown in Figure 1 has an information linkage function that links information regarding work areas 1A, 1B, etc. with information regarding equipment and materials brought into the corresponding work areas 1A, 1B, etc. The information regarding work areas 1A, 1B, etc. is attribute information of work areas 1A, 1B, etc., including the area location. The information regarding equipment and materials brought into work areas 1A, 1B, etc. is information regarding equipment and materials described in the fire / flood application form 23 shown in Figure 3 and the temporary storage list 25 shown in Figure 5, and in particular information regarding fire and flood for the equipment and materials (e.g., heat generation, fire load, temporary storage area of equipment and materials). At this time, the first linkage processing unit 16 displays the work area responsible for bringing equipment and materials into work areas 1A, 1B, etc. and using them in the "General Contractor" column in the equipment layout diagram 1 of Figure 2.
[0027] The first collaborative processing unit 16 can further visually display and present the status of the values related to fire and flooding (e.g., heat generation, fire load, temporary storage area of equipment) for equipment brought into work areas 1A, 1B, etc., relative to the permissible values, on a section-by-section basis including work areas 1A, 1B, etc.
[0028] Specifically, when the "Visual Display" button 34 in the equipment layout diagram 1 (Figure 2) shown in Figure 2 is clicked, the first linkage processing unit 16 displays, as shown in Figure 8, sections where the values related to fire and flooding of equipment brought into work areas 1A, 1B, etc. are 50% or less of the allowable value in green (coarse hatching in the lower right of Figure 8), sections where the values are 50-70% in yellow (fine hatching in the lower left of Figure 8), and sections where the values are 70% or more in red (cross-hatching in Figure 8). This visual display diagram of the equipment layout 35 shown in Figure 8 shows that in the sections displayed in red (70% or more), the values related to fire and flooding of equipment have little margin compared to the allowable value.
[0029] The process information management unit 13 shown in Figure 1 manages information related to the work process and is composed of a process management system 36 and a second linkage processing unit 37.
[0030] The second linkage processing unit 37 links, for example online, information about the work process, including the start and end dates of the work, obtained from the existing process management system 36 (the work process management table 38 shown in Figure 9 is typical information); information about the work areas 1A, 1B, etc., where the work process is carried out, obtained from the area information management unit 11 (the equipment layout diagram 1, including the attribute information input screen 18 shown in Figure 2, is typical information); and information about the equipment and materials, which are brought in for use in the work process, obtained from the equipment and materials information management unit 12 (the fire / flood application form 23 shown in Figure 3 and the fire / flood area list 26 shown in Figure 6 are typical information).
[0031] Furthermore, the second linkage processing unit 37 is configured to accept input of multiple sets of information, such as work process information (e.g., work period) and information on equipment and materials, as indicated by the symbol γ in the fire / flood application form 23 in Figure 3. This improves the convenience for users who create the fire / flood application form 23 using the fire / flood work site management system 10.
[0032] Furthermore, the second coordinating processing unit 37 graphs the values related to fire and water overflow of equipment and materials brought into any work process in each work area 1A, 1B, etc. (e.g., heat generation, fire load, temporary equipment storage area), along with their allowable values, along with the duration of the work process, and presents them as, for example, a fire load management graph 40 (Figure 10) and a water overflow management graph (not shown).
[0033] Specifically, when the "Fire Load / Flood Management Graph" button 41 on the work process management table 38 (Figure 9) displayed on the display unit 14 is touched, the second linkage processing unit 37 displays the fire / flood area list 26 shown in Figure 6 on the display unit 14. When a "area," which is the work area, is selected in this fire / flood area list 26 and the "Fire Load / Flood Management Graph" button 42 is clicked, the second linkage processing unit 37 displays the fire load management graph 40 (Figure 10) and the flood management graph (not shown) on the display unit 14.
[0034] The fire load management graph 40 shown in Figure 10 has time (date) on the horizontal axis and fire load on the vertical axis. It records the fire load on the equipment used by each work company A, B, and C when they performed work using the equipment on the specified date. The symbol δ in Figure 10 indicates the allowable value of the fire load. This fire load management graph 40 makes it possible to adjust the work process on dates where the fire load exceeds the allowable value δ, for example, by shifting it to a later time. In addition, the overflow management graph, which is not shown, has the temporary equipment storage area (m²) on the vertical axis of the fire load management graph 40. 2 ) is replaced by this, and in other respects, it is a graph similar to fire load management graph 40.
[0035] As described above, this embodiment provides the following effects (1) and (2). (1) In the fire and flood work site management system 10, information regarding work areas 1A, 1B, etc. is managed by the area information management unit 11, information regarding equipment and materials including flammable materials brought into work areas 1A, 1B, etc. is managed by the equipment and materials information management unit 12, and information regarding work processes is managed by the process information management unit 13. These area information management unit 11, equipment and materials information management unit 12, and process information management unit 13 work together to provide unified management.
[0036] Furthermore, the status of the values related to fire and flooding (e.g., heat generation, fire load, temporary storage area for equipment) for materials and equipment brought into work areas 1A, 1B, etc., relative to the permissible values is presented in relation to the section including work areas 1A, 1B, etc., as shown in the equipment layout visual display diagram 35 in Figure 8, for example. In addition, it is presented in relation to work areas 1A, 1B, etc. and the work process, as shown in the fire load management graph 40 and flooding management graph (not shown) in Figure 10.
[0037] Therefore, by referring to these presented details, the fire and water overflow values for equipment and materials can be easily checked against acceptable limits in the work area and work process. As a result, the effort required to manage fire and water overflow for equipment and materials at the work site can be reduced.
[0038] (2) In the equipment layout diagram 1 shown in Figure 2, the attribute information input screen 18 can be displayed by clicking to specify the corresponding work area 1A, 1B, etc., and the fire / flood application form 23 shown in Figure 3 can be displayed by clicking the "Application Registration / Update" word 22 on this attribute information input screen 18. Furthermore, by clicking the "Temporary Placement List" tab 24 on this fire / flood application form 23, the temporary placement list 25 shown in Figure 4 can be displayed. This makes it easy to confirm the type and quantity of equipment and materials to be brought into the corresponding work area 1A, 1B, etc., as well as the work period. In addition, the work area to be performed can be confirmed in the "General Contractor" column using the equipment layout diagram 1 in Figure 2.
[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, modifications, and combinations can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Such substitutions, modifications, and combinations are included in the scope and spirit of the invention, as well as in the claims and their equivalents. [Explanation of symbols]
