When the local water source is insufficient or inconsistent, a large supply of water will need to be maintained on site in the event of a fire. FM Approved fire water storage tanks are intended to provide a reliable repository for the water for the fire protection system. FM Approvals water tanks are evaluated from a structural standpoint including earthquake, wind resistance and roof loads.
Their approval is based upon a satisfactory evaluation of the product and the manufacturer in the following major areas:
Design
Product Details of Overhead Fire fighting Tanks
Overhead firefighting tanks are critical components in fire protection systems, designed to store water and ensure a reliable supply during emergencies. Typically installed at elevated positions, these tanks leverage gravity to deliver water pressure effectively, facilitating quick and efficient firefighting efforts. Constructed from durable materials such as steel or reinforced plastic, overhead tanks are engineered to withstand the severity of weather conditions while maintaining structural integrity.
The design of these tanks often includes features that allow for easy maintenance and inspection, ensuring that they remain operational when needed most. Installation considerations are critical and should include a thorough evaluation of factors such as local building codes, site accessibility and proximity to potential fire hazards, to ensure optimal effectiveness. In addition, proper sizing and capacity planning are essential, as they determine the volume of water available for firefighting operations, which can be crucial in reducing large scale incidents. Water quality is another important aspect, as contaminants can hinder firefighting efforts and therefore, overhead tanks may include filtration systems or other mechanisms to maintain water purity. Systematic checks and maintenance schedules are necessary to guarantee that the tanks remain functional and free from any leaks and structural weaknesses.
