Hydraulic Designers. Engineers & Certifiers
AFST – FireTesting are the industry leaders in testing for flow & pressure of municipal water supply mains. Fire and Hydraulic Services Engineers must have sound, reliable up-to-date information as to the water mains pressure and flow the water main can deliver to the fire systems they are designing.
For building less than 2000m2 the street fire hydrant hydrants may be adequate for fire hydrant protection. But councils nor water authority are legally required to ensure the street hydrants perform sufficient for fire hydrant protection. Street hydrants performance should be checked before a building design is approved for construction and again when the building is completed to issue a Form 71.
- Water Main flow and pressure testing to provide reliable real life data for hydraulic design and fire system engineers.
- Flow and pressure of new fire service connection to water mains to determine pumpset sizing and if fire water tanks are required
- Street or spring hydrant testing for Building Certification to provide Form 71.
