Fire Solutions

We engineer, supply, and commission complete fire-pump systems that safeguard people, assets, and operations. Our scope covers design, equipment, installation, testing, and lifecycle support fully compliant with NFPA 20, with UL/FM options when required by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

Main Pumps

Diesel or electric main pumps sized to hydraulic demand for sprinklers, standpipes, and hydrants. We specify horizontal split-case, end-suction, or vertical-turbine units with verified NPSH and stable curves. Foundations, alignment, and vibration limits are ensured. Commissioning covers churn, rated, and 150% tests, with spares and SLAs.

Jockey Pumps

Jockey pumps maintain system pressure and prevent main-pump short cycling. We size for high head, low flow, and integrate listed controllers, pressure switches, isolation and check valves, and relief protection. Settings coordinate with alarms and start/stop logic. Routine churn and periodic flow tests confirm readiness.

Pump Rooms

Code-true pump rooms engineered to NFPA 20 with UL/FM options. Packages include listed controllers, diesel day tanks or electric feeders, suction/discharge manifolds, test header, isolation/check/relief valves, drainage and ventilation, lighting, and monitoring. Layouts provide maintenance clearances, seismic bracing, electrical coordination, FAT/SAT, and as-built documentation for AHJ approval.

What We Deliver

• Pump rooms and skids: Diesel or electric main pumps, jockey pumps for pressure maintenance, listed controllers, suction/discharge manifolds, test headers, and flow-measurement devices, with isolation, check, and relief valves, plus code-compliant drainage and lighting.

• Pump types: Horizontal split-case, end-suction, vertical turbine, and multistage units engineered to match hydraulic demand for sprinklers, standpipes, and hydrants.

• Fuel and auxiliaries: Day tanks with double-wall containment, filtration/polishing, ventilation, spill control, battery chargers, jacket-water heaters, and exhaust attenuation to meet noise regulations.

• Controls and monitoring: Listed fire-pump controllers, automatic transfer systems for electric supplies, status and fault signaling to fire alarm panels (NFPA 72), and optional BMS/SCADA integration for remote supervision and data trending.

• Piping and accessories: Backflow prevention, pressure-reducing/relief valves, air-release valves, flexible connectors, and seismic bracing per local codes.

Engineering Approach

• We begin with a hazard and demand assessment analyzing occupancy type, design density, hose allowances, elevation, and water sources.

• Through hydraulic calculations, we verify required flow and pressure at the most remote point, accounting for friction losses and elevation head.

• We select pump curves that meet rated duty and achieve 150% of rated flow at not less than 65% of rated pressure, ensuring stable performance without surge or cavitation.

• We validate NPSH, suction pressure, and layout geometry for alignment, foundation stiffness, and straight-run lengths as per NFPA 20.

Compliance & Documentation

Our handover package includes:

• P&IDs, room layouts, single-line diagrams, data sheets, and cause-and-effect matrices

• Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) and method statements

• Factory (FAT) and Site (SAT) acceptance tests covering churn, rated flow, and 150% capacity, verified using calibrated instruments

• Certified performance curves and as-built documentation submitted to the AHJ

Commissioning & Training

Our specialists perform:

• Alignment, vibration, and noise tests

• Controller programming and alarm/interlock validation

• Emergency stop verification and system function tests
  Operators receive hands-on training for weekly churn tests, monthly/annual flow tests, and routine NFPA 25 inspections to maintain operational readiness.

Lifecycle Services

We provide preventive-maintenance contracts, 24/7 call-out support, and genuine OEM spare parts.
Remote monitoring enables early alerts for pressure deviations, diesel engine performance, battery status, and run-hour thresholds.
Our programs include:

• Seal and bearing inspections

• Packing and relief-valve adjustments

• Controller firmware updates
  These practices sustain system reliability, code compliance, and fire-readiness over the full asset lifecycle.

EPTCO ensures every fire system meets the highest standards of protection, performance, and compliance so your facility stays ready, reliable, and safe at every moment.

FAQs

What is NFPA 20?

NFPA 20 is the installation standard for stationary fire pumps. It defines pump selection, drivers, controllers, piping, relief devices, testing, and acceptance criteria.
Compliance ensures a reliable fire-water supply, verified performance curves, and smoother Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) review and approval.
