- Pump room design: Fire pumps should be housed in a dedicated, easily accessible room that provides protection from environmental factors like flooding or freezing.
- Clearances: Adequate space for servicing and maintenance must be maintained around the pump, as required by NFPA 20.
- Electrical and mechanical considerations: For electric pumps, power sources must be redundant, while diesel pumps need adequate ventilation and fuel storage.
- Piping layout: Ensure the suction and discharge piping are properly sized and laid out to avoid pressure drops or cavitation.
- Valves and accessories: Install control valves, relief valves, and other accessories in line with industry standards for safety and performance.
