Hydrant Flow and Pressure Assessment

Are your hydrant installations SANS compliant and does it meet the requirements for the occupancy classification type? Our assessments are carried out using verified Vernon Morris testing equipment by trained specialists and are widely accepted by the insurance industry.

It is simply not enough to assume that installations connected to municipal supplies or pumped reticulation networks are fit for purpose without fully assessing the delivery from the hydrant outlets themselves in accordance with the appropriate requirements.

Hydrant reticulation network assessments are conducted to determine the adequacy of the installation in terms of SANS10400 and SANS10252 as well as other standards such as NFPA and British Standards dependent on the location of the premises and installation application.

These assessments not only ascertain the delivery capabilities of the system but are also useful in determining the current state and servicing adequacy of the installations and are adapted to the clients’ needs to also include other specific commentary such as the adequacy of the spatial requirements. The assessments aid in determining the presence of any blockages, restrictions, or partially opened isolation control valves which restrict the supply and render the performance of the system inadequate as a result.

These assessments are also used to verify the adequacy of newly installed systems.

Upon completion of the survey the client is furnished with a report which includes the adequacy outcome, servicing state, system performance graphs, deviations, specific findings, as well as recommended remedial action if required.
