Hydrant_0321_parking_lot_magistrate_court_Ribaut_road.pdf

This is a Hydrant Flow Test Results document for the Beaufort County Detention Center Gymnasium Conversion Project in South Carolina. The test was conducted on hydrant PR0321 located in the parking lot at the magistrate court on Ribaut Road on May 7, 2024, at 10:04 AM. The hydrant, manufactured by Mueller in 1988 (Model: Super Centurion), was tested to evaluate water pressure and flow capacity necessary for fire suppression systems supporting the detention center's renovation project. The test measured static pressure at 59 psi, residual pressure at 45 psi, and pitot pressure at 38 psi, with a total flow discharge of 1,034.7 gallons per minute and a total volume released of 6,208.2 gallons over the six-minute test period.

This hydrant flow test serves as critical infrastructure assessment documentation for the Beaufort County Detention Center Gymnasium Conversion Project, which involves renovating an existing multipurpose space into a secure dormitory-style inmate housing unit. The test results confirm adequate water supply and pressure availability from the municipal system to support fire safety requirements for the new detention housing facility, which is designed to address overcrowding conditions and provide medical isolation and quarantine capacity. The hydrant's performance metrics are essential for compliance with fire code requirements and ensuring the facility's operational readiness for secure detention operations.
