Fire Protection System
Being one of the oldest but yet the most effective and common fire fighting solution, a well designed and a well laid
out Hydrant System forms the backbone of the entire fire fighting system. It comprises of heavy duty above &
underground piping with accessories. External and Fire Escape Hydrant valves are provided at every strategic
location. A fire hydrant is a pipe that allows water to flow from a water main with the control of a valve in order to
put out a fire.
Fire Hydrant Protection System is designed to fight fire of huge proportions, in all classes of risks. It is designed to be
in operation even if a part of the affected structure collapses.
Dry barrel and wet barrel are the two kinds of Fire Hydrants. The wet barrel fire hydrant holds a constant water
supply, while the dry barrel fire hydrant needs to have a valve release to let water in.
It is designed to provide rapid access to water in the event that a fire breaks out. Fire Brigade Connections are
installed as standalone systems which act like building-specific fire hydrants, providing fire protection which will be
readily available to fire fighters.
Guidelines and approval for Hydrant System are available from various national and international organisations
like:
NBC, NFPA, TAC, IS, FM and Local Fire Authorities.
