In the roadmap
A strategic four-stage roadmap for navigating the AFFF transition:
-
Assessment complexities
Conduct a detailed assessment and understand the impacts. This stage provides a holistic view of how the transition might affect the overall system or systems, areas to prioritize and challenges to avoid so that both the process can be expedited and impact on facility operation is minimized.
-
Engineering and planning considerations
Integrate engineering considerations to enhance both safety and operational continuity. This stage requires a comprehensive evaluation of system compatibility, performance expectations, regulatory compliance and operations and maintenance (O&M) requirements. These considerations are important because they directly influence the reliability and effectiveness of fire suppression systems during and after the transition.
-
Implementation
Create a thorough implementation plan. Operational continuity requires thoughtful planning, stakeholder alignment, real-time communication across the facility and collaboration between engineering and project management teams. Experienced construction management can provide oversight throughout the construction phase to ensure proper implementation.
-
Environmental responsibility
Demonstrate environmental responsibility during the transition with disposal strategies that integrate cost-effectiveness and long-term risk management. Environmental compliance and long-term monitoring are safeguards for a project’s reputation and resilience.
