Hydrant Inspection and Testing
It really doesn’t take much to keep a hydrant operating in peak condition but regular maintenance is required. NFPA 25 “Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems” is the standard that should be used for the periodic maintenance and testing of hydrants.
Regular hydrant testing is a significant component of any business, city or regional district water supply program. Water systems are constantly being impacted by improvements, deterioration, changes in usage, and even water district maintenance activities which may affect zone valve settings. As a result it is important and a legal requirement to annually test all fire hydrants to determine what their capabilities would be in an emergency.
In addition to determining flows, testing can uncover a number of mechanical problems from valves that don't operate properly to leaks and even pump damaging debris flowing from hydrants. It is imperative that we discover problems and get them repaired before the hydrant is needed in an emergency.
Flow test data also provides necessary field information so that water service planners, Safety Committees and Fire Departments can accurately estimate the capabilities of water mains.
BC Fire Safe Protection Services can provide fire hydrant inspection and water flow calculations. Please contact us to schedule an inspection.
Backflow Preventer Inspection and Testing
Backflow preventers are required by the BC Building Code to protect potable water sources from contamination. Similar to any other mechanical device, these devices are subject to failure. The BC Fire Code requires that any part of the water supply to a fire protection system, must be inspected, tested and flushed annually.
When the building owner or manager retains BC Fire Safe Protection Services our certified staff will perform all testing and repairs to backflow preventers in the building. BC Fire Safe Protection Services will ensure the following is performed:
