How about this from 20 (1999)...,

3.4.2 " The base plate shall be securely attached to a solid foundation in
such a way that proper pump and driver shaft alignment will be ensured."

It was the thirty minute run once a week from an engine that was the
concern.

Subject: RE: Fire Pump on vibration spring type isolators

I'm grasping the idea of wanting to prevention the transmission of vibration
and such when the pump is mounted above an occupied floor, particularly in a
residential building, although I'm thinking there isn't a catcher's mitt big
enough for the pieces which will be bouncing off the IBC required FRR pump
room enclosure..... So if the pump is running and fire protection water is
moving why am I concerned about vibration???  If the place is on fire
there's going to be a lot more noise and chaos to drown the pump out.  Are
we that concerned over periodic churn tests?  It can't be any worse than
slamming self closing doors in a vinyl tiled concrete corridor 24/7.

If anyone does a test or mock up of this revolutionary concept please video
it so we can all enjoy.
