@martylaurie ,

The pipe's aren't leaking, it's a deluge system. That means the systems is fitted with open sprinklers and a separated air system to activate. And the sprinkler fitter was smiling becuase it worked just like it was seposed to.

WEEEE its raining in a building

[driedel11]

sometimes the client request a life-test of the installation. Thats always the best job, because you will see the sprinkler do it's job for the first, and hopefully, for the last time.

Thanx for your reaction.

Are there drains on the floor, to prevent a flood (because you are testing the sprinklers) ?

Thanks

@Bradlysneezer ,

@paul9511 ,

yes, there is a drain valve for future testing, but this was a functionality test.

Reminds me of Bankside Power Station back in the 80s C.E.G.B.were tripping/activating the Mather & Platt Mulsifier mf valves to lower the temperature in the transformer bays,this was due one of the transformers exploding one summers night,the locals & Police thought a bomb had gone off.

@pdbravo the building may be built to take that amount of water without being harmed, and if it's a deluge system they can do a mass test.

@pdbravo no dude this is a deluge system its an open head sprinkler and you can do a full test like this
