  • Publication number: 20160310772
    Abstract: A system and method for the collection, decontamination, and re-use of fluids such as water drained from a fire sprinkler system. Typically, water is drained from a sprinkler system to complete repairs or maintenance. The present system prevents the wasting of clean, treated water from the city water supply to refill sprinkler systems, clean water is conserved and contaminated water is filtered and reused in the sprinkler system. This system prevents the release of contaminated water into the public water supply and saves gallons of fresh, new water from entering the sprinkler system where it would eventually be contaminated released back into the environment. Water is drained from the sprinkler system through a hose towards a storage bag or tank. A pump assists with removal of water from storage bag while a filter removes contaminants as the water flows back to the fire sprinkler system.

  • Publication number: 20160069477
    Abstract: An apparatus for the safe and efficient installation of large overhead pipes using a minimum number of workers. The present apparatus minimizes the hazards by providing a tool for supporting a large pipe throughout the installation process, which can easily be transported and lifted into place by a forklift or other similar means. A large and heavy pipe may be placed on pipe cradles extending from the base of the apparatus, which hold and support the pipe throughout installation. The pipe cradles may be positioned on supports which are stabilized by additional support arms to prevent the pipe cradle supports from leaning or collapsing. Forklift slots on the base of the apparatus can be used for receiving the prongs of a standard forklift, wherein the forklift may transport and lift the entire apparatus and pipe into place for a safe and efficient installation.
