In case of fire, a secure and reliable supply of water for underground distribution and above ground sprinkler systems is crucial for emergency management. The complete system relies on a consistent supply of water with adequate pressure and the right flow rate.
Buried or underground piping is defined as piping that is below-grade and in direct contact with soil, whereas underground piping is below-grade, not accessible, and outside of buildings. These are used as underground fire piping for commercial buildings and homes.
Underground fire piping can serve fire sprinkler systems and/or private hydrants. These plumbing devices need frequent maintenance and repair. Some states require maintenance carried out by a certified plumbing professional.
