I am a civil engineer working on an onsite private fire water system for a hotel/resort site. My experience with fire water systems only includes off site systems which would include public fire hydrants and connection lines for a building’s sprinkler system, so I am trying to design this “without looking too stupid”. I have spoken to the fire department and they recommended:
“4 way automatic wet standpipes from an onsite private fire main” for the protection of the pool area. I assume firefighters connect their hoses to these (correct me if I am wrong). Does anyone know of a manufacturer of these types of standpipes or a detail I could use on my plans? What is the typical spacing of these standpipes? Do I assume 300’, which is typical for a fire hydrant?
The fire department also recommended an “automatic wet standpipe in the parking garage connected to a private onsite fire main” to protect a little paseo area next to the parking garage. Is this connected to the building somehow and if so, would I just provide a connection 5’ form the building and the standpipe would be shown on the mechanical plumbing plans?
Any help would be appreciated.
