SUMMARY:Intermediate Design School
DESCRIPTION:Next Level Design\nExperienced layout technicians will find this blended learning course useful to understand the tools they utilize in-depth and gain a deeper knowledge of layout standpipes\, fire pumps\, seismic protection\, and the design requirements for general storage. In addition to mastering requirements in NFPA 13\, NFPA 14\, and NFPA 20\, students will utilize computer modeling software to apply design requirements learned throughout the course\, becoming familiar with the BIM process. This course begins with an orientation and two 3-hour webinars followed by five days of in-person instruction. \nThe course will begin with an orientation and two 3-hour webinars providing an overview of the toolsets available in the Hydratec for Revit® software to allow students to utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) for exercises. \nThis is followed by five days of in-person instruction. The course is designed for those with layout experience looking to understand the tools they utilize in-depth and gain a deeper knowledge to apply the design and installation requirements for general storage\, install and calculate seismic protection\, layout and calculate standpipe systems\, size\, and select-fire pumps\, and apply hydraulic principles to complex wet\, deluge\, and preaction systems. Seismic protection and sway bracing will also be covered in detail. \n Register & Learn More

SUMMARY:Fire Pump ITM Workshop
DESCRIPTION:AFSA’s Fire Pump ITM Workshop is designed to provide ITM technicians\, Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs)\, and facilities managers with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills related to fire pump installations and the necessary ITM procedures. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the key differences between diesel and electric-driven fire pumps\, engage in hands-on exercises to perform no-flow and full-flow fire pump tests and learn the ITM requirements for water storage tanks. Hands-on activities\, including energy diffuser selection\, data acquisition\, supply graphing\, and data interpretation\, will help participants solidify their understanding of stationary fire pumps for fire protection. \nLearning Objectives:\nUpon completion\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain codes\, standards\, and the roles and responsibilities of the parties involved in the inspection\, testing\, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems.\nComparing and contrasting the components of different types of water-based fire protection systems.\nIdentify the operation and required NFPA 25 periodic inspection\, testing\, and maintenance requirements for common components\, sprinkler systems\,  wet systems\, and dry systems in water-based fire protection systems.\nExecute the NFPA 25 requirements for the no-flow testing of fire pumps\n\n Learn More and Register
