If you have a fire hydrant located within your business or property you are responsible for the regular maintenance of the hydrant. In accordance with the standard BS9990 underground fire hydrants require regular inspection and testing. BS 9990 outlines recommendations for non-automatic fire-fighting systems in buildings. It covers good practice in matters affecting the design, installation, testing and maintenance of wet and dry fire-fighting mains and includes recommendations for provision and siting.

Our customers include fire safety companies, construction companies and building services companies among others.

A key flow meter function is the verification of fire hydrants, which can also be required for building insurance purposes.
