Underground Fire Mains
Abstract Selection of underground pipe for fire protection depends on several considerations: an evaluation of the soil conditions, the maximum working pressure, and the external loads the pipe may experience by virtue of vehicular and other traffic. Fire protection water mains must be capable of withstanding the unusual, and sometimes severe, conditions associated with fire protection systems: • fire pump pressure surges • hose stream operation • deluge system operation • the sudden closing or opening of valves
