Abstract
A method of temporarily operating sprinklers and mobile sensors during buildings/facilities alterations, renovations, additions, repairs, rehabilitations, relocations and any other similar activities where personnel may trigger sprinkler systems through accidental actions (or inactions) during their chores. This minimizes the possibility of damages during the building's construction/renovation.
Claims5
A method for providing a temporary pre-action construction phase building sprinkler protection system, said method comprising:
- operating a temporary control and communication computer component comprising a memory and at least one hardware processor interoperably coupled with said memory;
- maintaining electronic communication between said temporary control communication computer component and a temporary pneumatic or pneumatic-electric activated valve connecting one or more sprinkler riser/branch pipe(s) to one or more main sprinkler pipe(s), said temporary pneumatic or pneumatic-electric activated valve having one or more remotely operated water release component(s);
- activating as required one or more said sprinkler riser/branch pipe(s) pressure creating/maintaining components;
- monitoring the pressure in one or more said sprinkler riser/branch pipe(s);
- providing one or more remote sensors and maintaining electronic communication between said remote sensors and said temporary control and communication computer component;
- automatically activating said temporary pneumatic or pneumatic-electric activated valve upon pre-established conditions/status of both one or more of said sprinkler riser/branch pipe(s) and one or more of said remote sensors' status, thus connecting one or more of said main sprinkler input pipe(s) to one or more of said sprinkler riser/branch pipe(s);
- and
- removing said temporary pneumatic or pneumatic-electric activated valve at the completion of the construction phase;
- filling the one or more sprinkler riser/branch pipes(s) with water;
- and
- retaining said temporary pneumatic or pneumatic-electric activated valve for reuse.
