Pipes are used for fire protection systems for fire protection of buildings for the following purposes:

·         In sprinkler systems, sprinkler system, hydrant system and fire cabinet system are installed.

·         Foam, gas and dry powder stationary extinguishing systems for the transport of water, gas, foam or similar substances

Steel pipes are generally used for pipe installations. According to the flammability classes of building materials, steel pipes are classified as non-flammable, non-flammable, non-flammable and charcoal.

Nevertheless, if regular and continuous inspections and inspections of the piping are not performed, they may leak at a time when it is needed or may not be used at all. Therefore, in order to avoid large-scale damages in the future, it is obligatory to have periodical maintenance of the piping in accordance with the minimum requirements for health and safety regarding the use of construction machinery and equipment in the workplaces described in the legal regulations. This legal obligation is stipulated in the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment.

In the annex of the mentioned Regulation, Regarding Maintenance, Repair and Periodic Controls (Annex 3), the control periods of the installations in operation and the control criteria to be considered in these controls and related standards are explained. In this context, pipe installations, which are part of the fire installation, must be inspected and inspected at least once a year unless a specific period is specified in the standards. During these inspections, it is first determined whether the installation meets the criteria shown in the project. Subsequently, it is investigated whether the pipe installation meets the criteria of the following standards published by domestic and foreign organizations:

• TS 9811 Fire extinguishers - Medium and high expansion foam systems - Maintenance and inspection
• TS EN 671-3 Fixed fire extinguishing systems - Hose systems - Part 3: Maintenance of semi-rigid hose reels and flat hose systems
• TS EN 12416-1 + A2 Stationary fire extinguishing systems - Powder systems - Part 1: Component properties and test methods
• TS EN 12845 Fixed fire extinguishing systems - Automatic sprinkler systems - Design, installation and maintenance

Our company conducts the inspections of pipe installations in accordance with the relevant legal regulations, standards and test methods published by domestic and foreign organizations.
