- Seismic Bracing:Ensure the pump and associated piping are securely braced to withstand seismic forces.
- Flexible Connections:Use flexible couplings and connections to accommodate movement and prevent damage during an earthquake.
- Location:Install the pump in a location less likely to be impacted by structural damage, away from potential falling debris.
- Compliance with Codes:Follow local seismic codes and standards for installation and anchoring of fire protection equipment.
