About
Fire Hydrant Systems, Installation & Maintenance Newcastle
Fire hydrants are vital components of municipal fire protection systems, typically located on street corners or near buildings, designed to provide firefighters with a ready supply of water during emergencies. At LJM Fire Solutions, we specialize in the installation and maintenance of fire hydrant systems across Newcastle and the broader United Kingdom.
Fire Hydrant Installation
Our team of skilled technicians ensures that fire hydrants are installed to the highest specifications, adhering strictly to manufacturers’ guidelines and current British Standards. We strategically position hydrants as part of a ring fire main system, ensuring they are no more than 90 meters from any building entry on the site and not more than 90 meters apart. This strategic placement guarantees unobstructed access and optimal functionality during fire emergencies.
Fire Hydrant Maintenance
Regular maintenance of fire hydrants is crucial to ensure their reliability. We conduct comprehensive inspections and testing in accordance with BS 9990:2015 standards. Our maintenance procedures include:
-
Above Ground Inspection: Verifying proper signage, access, and overall condition.
-
Below Ground Inspection: Assessing the pit’s depth and condition, and clearing debris if necessary.
-
Wet Test: Flushing the hydrant and checking valve glands and joints for leaks.
-
Static Test: Recording static pressure.
-
Flow Test: Measuring and recording flow readings.
Upon completion, we issue a certificate of compliance to BS 9990:2015, confirming that your underground fire hydrant meets all necessary standards.
