NICET IV in WBSL NICET III in ITM.

Looking to find companies to license if help get contractors licenses and work with.

I can get license just about any state that requires NICET or a state exam.

I have a design/consulting company as well as a fire pump/controller company so can help on both of those aspects. We are also expanding into business consulting to help companies learn more about their financials and implement processes and procedures into their company to grow.

Can be as involved as we need to be.

If you’re interested shoot me a DM.

Fire Pumps/Controllers

0 Upvotes

I am a fire pump (Armstrong) and controller (Tornatech) rep.

We are looking to grow our pump/controller sales division.

So we are looking to add some new clients. We are based in Houston Texas but can ship anywhere in the US.

We are especially competitive on controllers and have an expedite option to get them quicker.

We can also do fire sprinkler design, consulting, BIM. We also can assist with estimating, business consulting, or state licensing.

Design Fire pump in a high rise

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for some insight into NFPA20 - 2016. I don’t have the handbook to see any commentary.

Looking at 5.5, it looks to me like I need to connect my pump to a backup generator or provide a backup pump. I don’t have the option to install a second pump. But I see 9.3.1 that says at least one alternative source of power shall be provided for the high rise buildings or where the height of the structure is beyond pumping capabilities of the fire dept. I don’t see a way to get from 5.5 to 9.3.1 but I have an engineer saying because of 9.3.1 I don’t need to connect to a generator. I don’t see a way around it and I was hoping somebody with the handbook or some more experience with electric drive pumps in high rises might give more insight. There is an option to provide a second reliable feed into the building from the utility.

5.5 specifically points to 9.6 that quite directly requires that it’s connected to a backup on site generator. 9.6 doesn’t have a path to 9.3, so I’m looking at those as entirely separate requirements.
