Domestic Potable Water System Installation
Every building needs clean, reliable water, and that starts at the site level. Our team installs complete potable water infrastructure to deliver safe, pressurized water from the municipal source to the building connection point.
- Licensed to install underground potable water systems throughout Georgia
- Includes water mains, service lines, valves, meters, and backflow preventers
- Ensures full compliance with local Department of Watershed and EPD standards
- Includes hydrostatic testing to validate performance and pressure integrity
We manage everything from trenching to final tie-ins, ensuring your system is inspected and approved without costly delays or rework.
Site Fire Protection Water System
In commercial development, site-level fire protection infrastructure is not optional, it’s mission-critical. We install robust fire protection water systems designed to meet NFPA codes and local fire marshal requirements.
- Installation of dedicated fire lines separate from the domestic supply
- Includes all required post-indicator valves (PIVs) and double-check backflow assemblies
- Supports fire sprinkler system tie-ins and booster pump interfaces
- The underground system is pressure-tested and certified for code approval
As your single-source site preparation partner, Earth Development coordinates these installations with other site utilities, ensuring there is no conflict or scheduling gap.
Fire Department Connection Points (FDCs)
Fire Department Connections (FDCs) provide emergency responders with access to your building’s fire suppression system. Proper placement and installation are critical for compliance and safety.
- Installed in coordination with local fire code and access regulations
- Connected directly to sprinkler risers or standpipe systems
- Includes all required signage, check valves, and caps
- Positioned for easy visibility and access for fire crews
We work proactively with local authorities to ensure each connection is correctly placed and ready for inspection and certification.
Fire Hydrants and Site Access Protection
Properly placed and pressurized fire hydrants are one of the most visible and important elements of any site’s fire protection plan.
- Supply and installation of hydrants per City of Atlanta standards
- Hydrants are positioned based on building size and access requirements
- Fully integrated into the site’s looped water system for reliability
Using GPS-guided trenching and layout, we ensure every hydrant is installed to exact specifications, ready for both testing and long-term reliability.
