Installation

There is much involved in installing fire protection systems or carrying out civil engineering work. Before we start we carefully go through the design yet again and check for any groundpollution.We then order the required materials and set the start date. We also organise the logistics, such as temporary storage of any paving removed. If necessary, we also install a temporary fire protection system. The engineers can then start work.

Cross-sector

We do all the work ourselves and our client has one point of contact. Should we come across other pipes that are in the way, we can go under or above them, or move them so that we can continue our work. We often see pipes on work sites and industrial sites that are not mapped properly. That is why we always produce a revised drawing and place signalling tape in the ground, 20 centimetres above the pipe. The risk of damage caused by excavation in the future is thus much reduced.

Testing

During the project, the engineer marks various ‘hold points’. In consultation with the client, we build in checks to ensure the quality of the system.

Common hold points are testing the pipes for waterproofing and strength before the trench is filled. Every connection must also be checked visually before the pipes go underground.

Finishing

Do you have a trench that needs filling? To avoid subsidence, we will add clean soil, layer by layer, around the pipes. The sand is compacted every 30 centimetres so that the paving, which we lay tightly, does not subside. Before delivering the system, we flush the pipes and our maintenance team carries out an initial inspection.
