Fire Pumps

In any building where the mains water pressure is insufficient to deliver adequate flow and pressure to the upper floors, a fire pump system becomes an essential component of the fire protection strategy. For high rise buildings, this is almost always the case. Fire pump sets are typically installed in a dedicated plant room at low level and are engineered to maintain the pressure and flow rates required across all connected systems, whether that is a wet riser, a sprinkler system or a combination of both. The consequences of pump failure during a fire event are severe, which is why redundancy is built into every system DRFSC installs. Duty and standby pump configurations ensure that if one unit fails, the other takes over automatically and without interruption. All pump sets are supplied with a diesel driven backup to safeguard performance in the event of a mains electrical failure.
