| description | Owning a fire pump also requires the cost of regular inspection, testing and maintenance (ITM). [...]the best time to find out whether a fire pump is necessary is early on in the design stage. When faced with an apparently marginal water supply, a consulting engineer may be inclined to figure conservatively and employ a fire pump. Because of budgetary ramifications, this type of conservative decision could ruin a client relationship if the builder's calculations show during construction the pump was not necessary. Vast collections of empirical data by reputable sources indicate the high majority of all fires are controlled with significantly fewer fire-sprinkler heads than are required to be in a minimum design area as defined in NFPA 13, FM Global (FM) or the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). |
