Fire Sprinkler Systems

Ensuring the protection of life and property is our mission

Complete Fire Sprinkler programs to fit your business requirements

A building’s entire fire plan and strategy must include a well-maintained and properly functional fire sprinkler system.

Imagine for a moment that an unplanned fire breaks out in the structure, activating the sprinkler sensors. As a result, the sprinkler system is triggered, which puts out the fire before any significant damage is done. Every day, this occurs all around the world.

On the other hand, this might be disastrous and you could lose everything if the sprinkler system is poorly maintained and does not function as it should.

The overall fire plan and strategy for a building must include a well-maintained and properly functional fire sprinkler system.

Due to the direct firefighting experience of our team, we are able to provide first-hand expertise and understanding in the design, installation, preventative maintenance, and emergency services of a range of sprinkler systems.

With the help of our fire sprinkler inspection and preventive maintenance programs, you can be sure that your sprinkler systems are ready to safeguard your building and the lives of its residents.

Comprehensive Fire Sprinkler ITM (Inspection, Testing & Maintenance)

Any fire safety system must have fire sprinkler systems.

The first line of defense against a catastrophic tragedy for buildings is frequently these fire protection systems. To ensure that every part of the sprinkler system is operating properly, it must undergo routine inspection and testing.

A building’s sprinkler system is made up of numerous unique pieces and elements. These include things like pipelines, switches, gauges, and couplings. At different periods, each of these components needs to be inspected.

The sprinkler system will be inspected, tested, and maintained by CFD certified technicians, and CFD will also give a detailed report of the work done by the technicians. This will include justifications for suggested modifications to ensure compliance with fire standards.

Wet and dry systems must be tested every five years, and the dry system must undergo a comprehensive performance test every three years, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

A specific number of weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual inspections are mandated by NFPA 25 Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems.

Any sprinkler that shows signs of leakage, corrosion, physical damage, or loss of fluid is required to be replaced.

Weekly:

CFD weekly inspections include:

Inspecting the fire protection mains and branch lines which could be prone to freezing.
Visually inspect all the fire doors to ensure that they are free from obstructions.

Inspecting and testing the automatic and manual fire alarm systems.
The gauges are vital to any sprinkler system and should be visually inspected on dry, pre-action, and deluge systems to verify normal water and air pressures.

Monthly:

CFD monthly inspections include:

Visually inspect all control valves to ensure they are accessible, free from external leaks, and in their normal position.

Visually inspect gauges on wet pipe systems to verify normal water pressure and ensure they are in good working order.

Quarterly:

CFD quarterly test and inspections include:

For hydraulically designed sprinkler systems, ensure the nameplate is legible and securely attached to the riser.
Test and inspect water flow alarm devices to ensure they are in good working condition.

Inspect pressure-reducing valves to ensure they are in the open position, free from leaks, and in good condition.
Mechanical water flow alarm devices should be tested quarterly. However, you can stick to semi-annual inspections if you have vane-type or pressure switch-type alarm devices.
Inspect fire department connections to ensure that they are in place, visible, accessible, free of physical damage, and working properly.

Annual:

CFD annual test and inspections include:

All sprinklers, hangers, pipes, and fittings should be tested to ensure good working conditions.
Main drain tests should be conducted on all sprinkler systems to verify control valves are in the open position and working properly.
Dry pipe valves should undergo a throttle trip test, cleaning, and resetting.
Deluge valves should have a full trip test at least once a year. The maximum frequency between full trip tests ought to be within 3 years.
Each antifreeze solution used in the systems should be tested and adjusted if necessary

Nozzles on water spray systems should be visually inspected and tested for proper flow.
