Advantages
Consider these items before deciding
One of the main advantages of mounting the fire pumps of the hydrant and sprinkler line on a skid platform is the uniform composition of the fire pumping system.
It is worth remembering that the entire system must be configured in accordance with the flow and pressure data in the fire-fighting project, as well as the standards and certifications required by the fire department and the insurance company for the approval of the work. The set can be configured for either indoor mounting (indoors with appropriate cooling) or outdoor mounting (on a platform with a roof).
This type of assembly REDUCES COSTS and SHORTENS THE TOTAL TIME TO ASSEMBLE the fire system.
