Fire Hydrant System Work

PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), as one of the largest transportation companies in Indonesia, has the responsibility not only to provide safe and efficient transportation services but also to maintain safety and security in its working environment. One important aspect of ensuring safety is the management of the fire suppression system, where hydrants play a key role. A hydrant is a device used to draw water from a piping system, primarily for firefighting purposes. In the environment of PT KAI, hydrants serve as a quick and easily accessible water source for firefighters during a fire. With hydrants installed at various strategic points, the firefighting process can be carried out more efficiently and effectively.

The work related to hydrants in the PT KAI environment includes several important aspects, such as:

• Installation and Placement: The placement of hydrants must be done carefully, considering accessibility and the distance from potential fire sources. Hydrants are usually installed in strategic locations such as near stations, depots, and train maintenance areas.

• Routine Maintenance: Maintaining hydrants is crucial to ensure their optimal functioning. This includes regular inspections of the physical condition of the hydrants, ensuring there are no leaks, and confirming that water flow is smooth. We conduct routine maintenance to ensure that the hydrants are always ready for use in emergencies.

The hydrant work in the PT KAI environment located at the Cipinang Depot is an integral part of the company’s efforts to maintain safety and security. With a good hydrant system, PT KAI can reduce the risk of fire and protect the assets as well as the safety of passengers and employees. Through routine maintenance, training, and socialization, a safe working environment is created, ready to face various possibilities, including emergency fire situations.
