Vertical Turbine Pumps
SPP Pumps have been manufacturing fire pumps for over 130 years and with one of the widest range of approvals of any manufacturer in the world. Experience gained from extreme environments such as off-shore oil & gas installations has led to the creation of the SPP Vertical Turbine range of pumps approved for fire protection Factory Mutual Approvals (FM) and Underwriter Laboratories Inc. (UL) and fully compliant to NFPA 20.
Where the fire protection water source is located below ground or deck level, the best technical pumping solution is the vertical suspended multi stage turbine pump. With this type of unit the impellers are fully immersed in the water maintaining prime at all times. The pumps are driven by vertical electric motors or by diesel engines through a right angle gearbox.

- Office buildings
