Syst-MP carried out work at a fire pump station, focusing on suction improvements and equipment maintenance.

From the existing installation to the completed work

The 2½″ suction manifold was replaced with a 4″ manifold and two isolation valves. A 4″ flanged valve was installed at the fire water tank outlet. The work also included replacement of the level control float.
