What is Standpipe?
Standpipe is a fire safety system that is designed to provide rapid access to water if the fire breaks out. Standpipes are installed as separate systems that act as fire hydrants specific to building and provide fire protection that is easily accessible to firefighters. It is also possible to see stagnant systems associated with spraying systems that provide automatic or manual sprayers in addition to fire hoses connection points. They can also be installed in other types of structures. Dry standpipe systems consist of a series of pipes that bring water to different points in the building when they are drawn by fire fighters, while the pipe remains dry and empty when it is not needed. Wet systems are "charged", which means they are always full of water.
Standpipe design is designed to maintain pressure in case of fire. A common problem of firefighters is that it may be difficult to get pressure, especially on high floors, which makes it difficultRpping water fast enough to set fire. Depending on the design of the system, standpipes may not bring water to all floors. Some buildings focus on the lower floors to give people time to evacuate and risk the loss of the upper floors to shoot. Common access points for Standpipe are staircases and corridors.
In the spray partner, it carries a system for the spraying system and for stagnant hills. In other cases, systems can be triggered independently to provide excess coverage. This means that if one system fails, the other can work, which may be beneficial for some types of buildings.
Having a Standpipe system reduces the liability of a fire. Insurance companies usually offer discounts on buildings against fire protection measures such as the established system for the stand, and the more systems they have, the cheaper insurance will be. People are also rewarded for excess fire protection systems because insurance companies are usually happy to seeAny measures that will reduce the risk they will have to pay off.
Some building regulations require stands for certain types of buildings. It is good to consult a fire brigade protection clerk and find out whether such a system is recommended or necessary, and to obtain specific advice on the design of the system.
