ViaCon delivered a customised 210 m³ firewater tank with an integrated pump room to meet fire protection requirements in an airport project in Norway.
The Challenge
In an airport project in Norway, the contractor needed a reliable firewater solution to comply with fire protection regulations. The system had to provide 210 m³ of firewater storage and deliver a required flow of 50 litres per second for one hour.
In addition to storage capacity, the project required an integrated pumping solution capable of supporting dependable operation in a critical infrastructure environment.
The Solution
To meet the project requirements, ViaCon delivered a customised firewater tank solution in Norway based on PE-coated, hot-dip galvanised corrugated steel.
The solution consisted of a D3000 tank with a length of 36 metres and an integrated pump room. The system was equipped with:
- 2 pumps with a flow capacity of 50 l/s,
- control units for the pumps,
- level sensors,
- an electronic inlet filling valve,
- flotation valves for operation in case of power failure,
- and sprinkler suction pipes connected to external sprinkler pumps.
This provided the customer with a complete and reliable firewater solution tailored to the specific needs of the airport project.
The ViaCon advantage
By choosing ViaCon’s firewater tank solution, the customer received a customised system combining water storage and pumping functions in one integrated installation.
In addition to meeting the required firewater volume and flow performance, the solution offers a low CO₂ footprint and an estimated service life of more than 80 years. This provides a durable and efficient alternative for critical fire protection applications.
