The Importance of Fireline Design
What Is a Fireline?
A fireline, or fire main, is an underground, non-drinking water pipe that supplies water to fire hydrants and sprinkler systems in the case of an emergency. Firelines are essential for any industrial or commercial building; the installation and design require a team of experts who know what they are doing. If the install or design is done incorrectly, a fireline will not be able to properly perform. Meaning that a fire can put your building, business and employees may be at risk.
Luckily, Chief Underground Services is here to help! Our team has over 27 years of combined experience in the fireline installation and repair services industry. We have services to fit all of your needs, from installing new firelines to upgrading and retrofitting your current system to performing emergency repairs and so much more.
Fireline Design- Why It’s Important
No matter what you need, all of our services begin with design. This is the most important step and should be handled by a team of experts. Each business and its location are unique, meaning each underground fireline layout design needs to be different. Our design experts consider many factors such as weather patterns, terrain, and any surrounding structures to ensure the safety and security of the fireline.
When we begin the design for your fireline system, we work to achieve two things every time. First, we create an accessible layout in case of a routine repair or inspection. Access is also critical if an emergency repair is required. Second, the fireline’s design must ensure that water will flow well to wherever it is needed. By keeping these two vital requirements in mind, Chief Underground Services can create a fireline layout design that will keep both you and your building safe.
