fire hydrant boosting truck melbourne

 

Our Latest Addition!

We are were very excited this week to receive a new addition to our fleet. This ex NSW urban pumper has come off the line and straight into service as our second boost testing truck. This truck, whilst over 20 years old has done very little work. It has travelled less than 100 km per week for its entire life! The new truck will out-perform on boost testing hydrant systems! This vehicle  is specifically designed for boost testing hydrant systems in the Melbourne CBD.

Pumping System

The pump is directly driven off the PTO on the truck engine, with 4 inlets on the bottom of the pump and 4 outlets on the top of the pump. This means we are able to test most large sites without any trouble.

Key Features of MFE Boost Testing.

1. We operate all of our boost testing under the supervision of a registered plumber.
2. We use micrometers to measure the flow of water
3. If required we are able to perform the overhauling of the hydrant service prior to undertaking the boost and pressure test.
4. Our reports are simple to read!
5. We provide a short video as evidence of the pressure and flow testing.
6. For the more difficult sites for access we are able to undertake pressure and flow testing on the weekends where required.
7. If you dont have a block plan we are able to assist, we have draftsman on staff who are able to re create your block plan if needed.

Watch out for our upcoming post capturing the action when we used this truck in in busy South Melbourne to perform a five yearly hydrant booster test.
