Do horizontal fire pumps need to be mounted on a concrete slab? The reason is I had a pump company send me a report with the discrepancy that the pump, when tested vibrated laterally due to the fact that when it was installed they just used a frame bolted to the concrete floor. In researching NFPA 20 I only find some seismic restrictions. Am I missing something?
