Fire Hydrant Installation

When commissioning fire hydrants, certain regulations must be strictly followed. According to the Building Code, any structure larger than 500 square metres is required to have a fire hydrant. Fire hose reels should be installed next to fire hydrants, and the hydrants should be easily accessible. It is also important that the Fire Hydrant Block Plan is located near the hydrant and safe from damage or dirt.

These regulations ensure quick access to hydrants by firefighters in the event of a fire. To assist with this, AESM offers inspection services for hydrant painting and marking, making sure they are visible and easily identifiable. This proactive approach can be crucial in speeding up response times during emergencies.

How often do you test Fire Hydrants?

Fire hydrant inspection frequency is determined by regulations as well as each company’s requirements. A visual inspection and water flow proof is conducted every six months, whereas an annual fire hydrant flow test forms part of the 12-monthly inspection and testing. Every five years, a more intensive maintenance procedure, involving a hydrant booster flow test, is performed. To keep clients updated, AESM carefully records all inspection, testing, and maintenance dates on the tag attached to each fire hydrant.

How are Fire Hydrants Tested and Maintained?

Fire hydrants are systems that must be inspected and tested for various elements. During these appointments, AESM’s technicians:

  • Check whether hydrant valves are accessible and functional
  • Assess potential damage to the hydrant
  • Confirm the water supply in each valve
  • Conduct a hydrostatic pressure test to ensure the system’s integrity under operational pressure
  • Perform Fire brigade hydrant booster flow testing, ensuring the hydrants maintain a residual (or flowing) pressure of 150-200 kPa and a flow rate of 10l/s. A booster overhaul may be necessary if the pressure readings are over or under these readings.

With AESM, you can rest assured that qualified fire safety technicians will evaluate your fire hydrant systems against a fire hydrant inspection checklist based on Australian Safety standards. They will also provide a detailed report through AESM’s user-friendly CMMS system so that you can stay updated on your fire safety equipment maintenance.
