Global SafeTec - Hydrant Systems
In a building, a fire hydrant system is a safety measure or emergency equipment required in some buildings that comprises a series of components that when assembled together provide a source of water to assist fire authorities in a fire.
Putting it another way, a fire hydrant system is a water supply with a sufficient pressure and flow delivered through pipes throughout a building to strategically located network of valves for fire-fighting purposes.
Fire HydrantIn some circumstances, water from a reticulated fire hydrant system can also be shared with other safety measures such as automatic fire sprinkler systems or fire hose reels.
In Australia, the Building Code of Australia (BCA) sets out the Deemed-to-Satisfy (DtS) provisions for a fire hydrant system required in buildings to the degree necessary to facilitate the needs of the fire brigade for;
fire-fighting operations; and
the floor-area of the building; and
the fire hazard.

Global SafeTec - Sprinkler System
A fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection measure, consisting of a water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flowrate to a water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are connected. Although historically only used in factories and large commercial buildings, systems for homes and small buildings are now available at a cost-effective price. Fire sprinkler systems are extensively used worldwide, with over 40 million sprinkler heads fitted each year. In buildings completely protected by fire sprinkler systems, over 99% of fires were controlled by fire sprinklers alone.

In India, the Building Code of India sets out the Deemed-to-Satisfy (DtS) provisions for a fire hydrant system required in buildings to the degree necessary to facilitate the needs of the fire brigade for;
a. fire-fighting operations; and
b. the floor-area of the building; and
the fire hazard.
c. Fire hydrant systems are designed and installed in accordance with Indian Standard and comprise the following primary components;
Water Supply & Storage
Pipework & Valves
Fire Brigade Booster
Pumpset
Hydrant, Hydrant Valve or Landing Valve & Coupling
Layflat Fire Hose
Block Plan
When designing a fire hydrant system specific performance objectives must be satisfied. These performance objectives require a hydraulic analysis to demonstrate there is sufficient water pressure and flow at the most hydraulically disadvantaged hydrant. The pressure and flow requirements vary according to the building classification, floor area and sprinkler protection.
