An independent testing company was on the Grace Church job on July 31 to check the quality of water coming from the new six-inch main. This large pipe will supply the fire sprinkler system in part of the basement of the old building, as well as all of the new addition. Because the inside of the pipes could have become contaminated at the factory, in transportation, or in installation, a water quality test is required before the connection to the building is made. In the photo above, the test technician clears the pipe by letting it run for a few minutes; then the water had to be pumped out of the excavation and a sample taken from the new pipe for testing.
