A fire cannot wait. To ensure that your sprinkler system activates reliably in an emergency, pump systems, sprinkler tanks and diesel generators must also be ready for use at all times.
A professional service for diesel and pump systems in sprinkler systems ensures that all safety-related components are tested, serviced and maintained in accordance with standards.
Sprinkler systems require constant and sufficiently high water pressure. This is where pump units come into play: they feed the extinguishing water into the pipe network at the required pressure. Depending on the requirements, electric or diesel pumps are used.
Sprinkler or extinguishing water tanks serve as a reliable water reserve. They guarantee the prescribed amount of water over a defined minimum period (e.g. 30, 60 or 90 minutes, depending on the degree of risk). Especially in industrial plants, logistics centres or public buildings, they ensure the required amount of fire-fighting water in accordance with DIN EN 12845 or VdS guidelines.
An emergency diesel generator ensures operation even in the event of a power failure. If the regular power supply fails, the diesel generator automatically takes over the power supply to the pump. This means that the firefighting water supply remains stable even in the event of a power failure – a crucial safety factor for critical infrastructures.
In short: without functioning pumps, tanks and diesel generators, the effectiveness of your sprinkler system cannot be guaranteed.
The maintenance of diesel and pump systems in sprinkler systems is subject to clear specifications, including those set out in DIN EN 12845 and VdS CEA 4001. In addition to the standards, manufacturers and insurers specify binding inspection intervals. The aim is to detect faults at an early stage and ensure long-term operational readiness.
Typical inspection tasks include:
Weekly visual and functional checks
| Monthly and quarterly checks
| Annual maintenance
|
Important: Only through regular maintenance can the operational readiness of the sprinkler system be guaranteed in the long term. In addition, professional maintenance not only increases safety, but also significantly extends the service life of your system.
Sprinkler tanks and storage tanks must also be inspected regularly. Deposits, corrosion or damage can impair the fire water supply.
Depending on the type of construction (steel, concrete or GRP tank), the following measures are common:
- Visual inspection of the interior surfaces
- Checking for corrosion and coating
- Checking weld seams
- Checking float switches and level indicators
- Checking for sediment deposits
An interior inspection is required at regular intervals. Traditionally, this often required complete emptying, which meant interruptions to operations and additional effort.
A modern alternative is inspection using an underwater drone. This technology allows storage and intermediate tanks to be visually inspected without draining the water.
The advantages:
- No need to drain the firefighting water, saving up to 500,000 litres of drinking water
- No divers required
- No interruption to operations
- No costly refilling
- Shorter inspection time
- High-resolution video and photo recordings
- Precise condition documentation
This allows corrosion spots, deposits or damage to be detected at an early stage – efficiently and economically.
The reliable operational readiness of your system is our top priority. We provide comprehensive support for your diesel and electric pump units, emergency diesel generators, control and switchgear systems – from initial commissioning to professional repairs or replacement of complete units.
We also carry out special repair work, for example on pumps (replacement of gland packings), in a professional manner. With our underwater drone, we enable the inspection of your sprinkler tanks without downtime. You receive a detailed condition analysis – efficient and compliant with standards.
