• Fire Pump Test 

  • Test is performed under minimum, rated and peak flows by controlling the quantity of water discharged through approved test devices.

  • Proper mechanical operation of pump and control valves is tested.  ​

• Sprinkler Inspection 

  • System is inspected and tested to ensure that it is mechanically sound.

  • Pipe, fittings, bracing and sprinkler placement is visually inspected. Proper spacing between sprinkler heads and storage is inspected.
