The difference between HFRC and its competitors starts in the field:
- HFRC’s senior staff have years of experience in testing, analyzing and troubleshooting fire suppression systems.
- HFRC’s single focus is on providing an accurate test. As such:
- Test results are analyzed immediately and before the test equipment is broken down
- All significant changes in performance are immediately confirmed
- Only quality test equipment is utilized
- All gauges and other devices are replaced or recalibrated per NFPA and manufacturer recommendations
- HFRC has the engineering capability (and licensing) to develop alternative test methods and procedures that will withstand regulator/insurer scrutiny
Once the tests are completed HFRC takes the time to produce a high-quality report that:
- Meet regulatory and insurer expectations.
- Clearly identify the operational status (grade) of each system/piece of equipment tested
- Clearly differentiate between recommendations that are regulatory driven from those based on best practices
- Clearly define recommended follow up actions and explain the basis for each
- Allow the client to:
- Easily translate report recommendations into corrective action plans
- Substantiate and explain corrective actions to other entities/groups that will be tasked with carrying them out
- Track and demonstrate (to regulators and insurer’s) progress made:
HFRC’s personal best to date include:
- The flow testing of three 11,000 GPM fire pumps.
- A 17,700 GPM flow test on an industrial water system
- A 19,000 GPM flow test on a municipal water system
