system, waterflow tests will be conducted to
determine available water supply for the sprinkler
system. The Designer will either perform or witness
the waterflow test. The waterflow test results
(including date test is performed) should be
included in the Project Development Brochure;
however it is critical that the waterflow test
results be included in the design documents no later
than the concept submission. Note that the
availability of the Designer to participate or
witness the waterflow test will be necessary. The
need for fire pumps or a water tank can in many
instances have a significant impact on the amount
programmed for design and construction of a facility.
A fully designed system will include the items
listed above and all additional information required
that is required by Military Handbook 1008C and NFPA
13 for a fully operational system.
