Installation and supply of fire pumps
Safety first is a leader at Firefighting, Inspection, Facility management, Calibration, verification and Certification Company.
A fire pump is a critical component of a building’s water-based fire protection system. In an actual emergency, without an operating fire pump, the associated fire protection system will at best provide only a measure of safety and will not achieve the results of the code-required, engineered, and installed design.
When we discuss a fire pump we are typically referring to the assembled unit, consisting of: the fire pump, driver (commonly an electric motor), controller, and attendant accessories.
Three of the major entities and publications that impact fire pump installations are:
- ➢ National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) – Standard 20: Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection
- ➢ International Code Council (ICC) – International Building Code (IBC)
- ➢ Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) – typically a City or County Fire Marshal and the local fire code requirements
