Design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning for commercial, industrial and institutional projects.
Decon Infratech is a specialist fire hydrant and automatic sprinkler system contractor for commercial, industrial and institutional projects. We take up complete system execution — from design coordination and material supply through to installation, hydro-testing, commissioning and handover.
Individual equipment sales are handled separately; this page is for clients planning a full hydrant or sprinkler system on a live project.
A fire hydrant system is a manually-operated water-based system that delivers pressurised water at strategic points around a building or site for use by trained personnel or the fire brigade.
An automatic sprinkler system delivers water automatically at the seat of a fire through heat-activated sprinkler heads on a pressurised piping network.
The two systems are complementary, not alternatives. Most codes and typical building occupancies require both, integrated with a common pump room and water source.
| Aspect | Fire Hydrant System | Automatic Sprinkler System |
|---|---|---|
| Activation | Manual — opened by trained personnel or fire brigade | Automatic — heat-activated sprinkler head opens |
| Primary Function | Bulk water delivery at strategic points around the building | Rapid, localised control at the seat of the fire |
| Typical Operation | Landing valve opened, hose deployed, water directed by operator | Only sprinklers near the fire operate; alarm valve trips |
| Main Equipment | Landing valves, hose reels, hoses, hydrants, piping | Sprinklers, alarm valves, flow switches, sprinkler piping |
| Role in Integrated System | Standby response capability for personnel and fire services | First-line automatic response for early fire control |
Neither system works in isolation. In a building fire-protection installation, the fire-water storage, pump room, hydrant network, sprinkler network and fire-alarm system are engineered as one integrated whole.
Fire-water storage feeds the pump room. Fire pumps pressurise a common riser network. That network branches into the hydrant and sprinkler distributions. Flow switches and alarm valves on the sprinkler side tie back to the fire-alarm system so that any operation is annunciated. Testing and commissioning verify the behaviour of the full chain — not just individual components.
Issues that we regularly see brought to us on struggling projects — worth flagging early on any hydrant or sprinkler installation.
