Wells for fire extinguishing purposes

Fire demands a rapid response time and sufficient extinguishing water must always be available. However, pipes provided by water pipe companies increasingly provide insufficient flow of water for extinguishing fires.

Water wells ensure sufficient water for extinguishing

An extinguishing water well is the ideal solution to provide neighbourhoods and business areas with water of a sufficient flow rate for extinguishing fires. In terms of construction and functionality, an extinguishing water well is  comparable to a drinking water well, but is only used for calamities.

Capacity of extinguishing wells

As extinguishing water wells are only used for calamities, their capacity reduces much faster than for drinking water wells where water is extracted more continuously. The fire department, government and insurance companies impose strict requirements regarding the installation and maintenance of such wells.

Capacity test

Q-Flow can perform capacity tests for extinguishing water wells. We apply an extensive protocol and perform the tests using specially equipped regeneration vehicles. The test results are processed in an extensively detailed report. The reporting consists, among other things, of the following components:

• Data from the extinguishing water well
• Capacity of the extinguishing water well (does it supply sufficient water)
• Accessibility and findability for quick deployment by the fire department
• General maintenance condition of the extinguishing water well (gaskets, leakages and damages)
• Checking of the proper functioning of extinguishing water wells for source pump and operation

Accessibility of extinguishing wells

Our offroad vehicles enable us to reach extinguishing water wells situated on challenging terrain.

Maintenance

Q-Flow is specialized in the development, regeneration and maintenance of sources such as extinguishing water wells. Effective maintenance of your extinguishing water well is something that you can rely on us to implement.
