Project Name: Brooklyn Naval Yard
Location: 63 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
Project Type: Naval Yard
Synopsis: A major building expansion at the Brooklyn Naval Yard required an increase in fire suppression capacity to meet updated safety regulations and operational needs. The existing fire protection system was insufficient to support the additional fire pump demand, necessitating a temporary solution while a permanent upgrade was designed and installed.
Details: As a critical naval facility, maintaining uninterrupted fire protection was essential to ensure the safety of personnel, infrastructure, and high-value assets. With the expansion underway, the increased square footage and structural modifications placed a higher demand on the fire suppression system. To bridge the gap until the new permanent system was fully implemented, a temporary fire pump was deployed to meet compliance standards and maintain operational safety.
Solution: A high-capacity temporary fire pump unit was installed to supplement the existing system, providing the additional pressure and flow rate required for the expanded facility. The integration of this temporary solution ensured continuous fire protection without disrupting ongoing naval operations or construction activities. By implementing this strategic temporary fire pump solution, Brooklyn Naval Yard successfully addressed the increased fire suppression demand, ensuring compliance and safety while awaiting the completion of its upgraded fire protection infrastructure.
Temporary Fire Pump Specifications: Diesel 750 GPM @ 175 PSI – FP Controller (110 v) – Jockey Pump – JP Controller – Test Header –Discharge – Pressure relief valve (Dial in the required pressure) – Day Tank – Low Fuel Alarm
