Flow test reports for New South Wales crews

For crews testing hydrants, sprinklers, boosters and hose reels in New South Wales — the brigade you deal with, the plant on the ground, and the reports that come with it.

Brigade

Fire and Rescue NSW is who you deal with on most commercial sites in the cities. When FRNSW, a certifier or an insurer asks for the last hydrant or booster test, the report your client files has to stand up.

Typical work

Sydney and the satellite CBDs are high-rise and deep basement work: hydrant feeds, brigade boosters and pump rooms. Regional NSW is more feed hydrants, older booster cabinets, and long drives between sites. Match the report to the plant in front of you.

Systems you will see

You will see hydrant feed and booster assembly tests on older commercial stock, pump-fed sprinklers in mid-rise, and combined pump rooms in hospitals and campuses. Five-yearly booster tests are the ones building managers in NSW actually chase.
