Dismantling of fire alarm systems and fire extinguishing systems
Dismantling of fire alarm systems and fire extinguishing systems is a complex of technical works necessary for the reconstruction of buildings, major repairs, redevelopment of premises or replacement of outdated fire—fighting equipment. Such work requires a professional approach, since improper disconnection or removal of individual elements can lead to damage to engineering communications and a violation of the safety of the facility.
Dismantling may be required in office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, warehouse complexes, industrial premises, educational institutions and other facilities. Depending on the task, partial removal of equipment, transfer of individual devices, or complete dismantling of the existing system is performed, followed by preparation for the installation of a new fire protection system.
Before starting work, specialists inspect the facility, study the layout of the equipment and determine the composition of the elements to be dismantled. Special attention is paid to the existing communication lines, power supply, control devices and actuators. Before shutting down the system, it is necessary to coordinate the work with those responsible for fire safety and organize the necessary temporary measures to protect the facility.
How is the dismantling of fire systems performed?
The dismantling of the fire alarm system begins with the safe shutdown of the equipment in accordance with the established procedure. After that, the specialists remove the fire detectors, manual fire detectors, sounders, control devices and other elements provided for by the work project. If necessary, cable lines, fasteners and additional devices are dismantled. If a part of the equipment is going to be reused, it is carefully removed, labeled and prepared for further storage or installation.
Dismantling of fire extinguishing systems has its own peculiarities. Depending on the type of installation, work may include shutting down pumping equipment, removing pipelines, sprinklers, shut-off valves, control units, and other components. Before disassembly, it is necessary to ensure the safe condition of the system, the absence of dangerous pressure and the possibility of performing work without risk to personnel. When dismantling gas, powder and other special installations, the special features of the extinguishing agent and the requirements of the equipment manufacturer are additionally taken into account.
Upon completion of the work, the condition of the premises and utilities is checked, if necessary, the dismantled equipment is removed and the site is prepared for further repair or installation of a new system. The necessary technical documentation is being compiled, documenting the work performed.
