What considerations should be taken when retrofitting an existing fire pump system with an electric fire pump?

When retrofitting, consider the following:

• System compatibility: Ensure the new electric pump is compatible with existing piping, valves, and electrical systems.
• Space constraints: Verify that there is adequate space for the new pump and associated equipment.
• Power requirements: Confirm that the existing electrical infrastructure can support the new pump’s power needs.
• Code compliance: Ensure the retrofit meets all current fire safety codes and standards.
• Operational impact: Plan the retrofit to minimize disruption to building operations and fire protection during installation.
