Complete Fire Compliance specializes in inspection & testing of fire hydrant systems for new & existing commercial buildings.
INSPECTION
Pre-inspection of the Fire Hydrant System
CFC conducts a pre-inspection of the Fire Hydrant System before testing can be completed. This ensures that the system is complete and ready for testing.
The following items are included in the pre-inspection:
- Booster assembly
- Hydrants and hose reels
- Pumps and pump house
- Fire tanks
- Fire pump run lights
- Ring mains
- Fire appliance access
CFC will provide a pre-inspection report/checklist detailing any outstanding items that need to be completed.
Fire Safety Equipment Signage (FSES) documentation will be provided to assist with signage requirements for the fire hydrant system. The FSES document has been compiled from the National Construction Codes (BCA), Australian Standards, and DFES Operational Requirements.
TESTING
Testing of the Fire Hydrant System
Testing of the Fire Hydrant System is undertaken in accordance with AS2419 Section 10. The following tests are performed:
- Discharging of the required number of the most hydraulically disadvantaged hydrants.
- Investigation and measurement of the pressure in water agency mains, supported by relevant calculations.
- For systems that incorporate a booster:
- A pumping appliance is used to boost the system to flow the required number of most hydraulically disadvantaged hydrants in accordance with Table 2.3 of AS2419.
- For systems that incorporate a pump(s):
- The required pump or pump group is separately operated. The required number of most hydraulically disadvantaged hydrants shall discharge at the required outlet pressure and flow rate. The pressure and flow rate at each hydrant outlet will be recorded for each pump or pump group operating, including pump operating pressures.
- For systems that incorporate a tank:
- Where a tank is incorporated, CFC’s pumping appliance will be connected to the tank (Storz) and the system boosted to achieve the required flow rate and outlet pressure at the required number of most hydraulically disadvantaged hydrants. The pressure and flow rate at each hydrant outlet will be recorded as part of our test results.
- Test results are recorded and issued to the relevant authorities.
- Photos of test pressure and flows are recorded.
COMMISSIONING TEST RESULTS
Complete Fire Compliance will provide a commissioning test report with photo evidence for the Fire Hydrant System after on-site testing is completed.
Please note that the Fire Hydrant System Commissioning Test Results provided by CFC are for the hydraulic performance of the fire hydrant system only.
