A fire water supply system delivers water to extinguish and contain a fire and to stop it from spreading. There are internal and external systems.
An internal fire water supply is installed to protect a building in case of fire. It is mandatory for:
- public buildings with a total volume of more than 5,000 cubic metres;
- dormitories;
- hotels;
- office centres;
- administrative buildings of industrial sites;
- sports halls and complexes, theatres, circuses and other cultural and sports buildings;
- residential buildings higher than 12 storeys;
- all industrial and warehouse buildings higher than 3 storeys.
An external fire water supply is a network of water mains, fire hydrants and water sources intended for firefighting.
Networks can be dead-end or ring-shaped. A ring network has shut-off valves that allow faulty sections to be isolated from the supply. The need for internal pipework and the required water flow rates are set by the relevant regulations.
Long, trouble-free operation depends on proper design, professional installation, pressure and flow testing, and regular maintenance.
With us you get the full range of work from a specialist company — from design to maintenance — so faults are detected early and fixed quickly.
