I guess “a little more information” would be helpful. The implication is that the fire pump room and the equipment located there is being displaced by these improvements but the building is intended to be at least partially occupied during the impairment. Why didn’t anyone point out to them that they need to create a temporary pump room or relocate the pump room as part of the project? When you say “long-term removal”, is the program to put the same pump back into service? Is it electric- or diesel-driven?

From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:sprinklerforum-boun...@lists.firesprinkler.org] On Behalf Of Dewayne Martinez Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2017 6:35 AM To: sprinklerforum@lists.firesprinkler.org Cc: dmarti...@total-mechanical.com Subject: Fire pump removal I have a project in which there will be long term removal (3-6months)of the existing fire pump for building improvements. We need to keep the systems in service and this building is considered a high rise (110ft). What are some of my options? I thought possibly just using the incoming city water supply and asking the fire department for permission but based upon the available static of 42psi we would have a negative pressure for the top floor. We could rent a portable fire pump but would still need to get water to and from the outside unit and it gets cold up here in Wisconsin. Thanks, Dewayne
