Our Services

System Development & Modifications

Compliance with all relevant Australian Standards

We ensure that every aspect of our process meets or exceeds the requirements set forth by Australian building and fire safety standards. This includes adherence to codes regarding materials used, installation practices and safety measures.

Fire Sprinkler System Design

We develop comprehensive designs that provide complete coverage both above and below the ceiling, tailored to the specific needs of the building.

Hydraulic Calculations

Our process involves conducting detailed hydraulic analyses to ensure that our fire protection systems—including sprinklers, hydrants, and hose reels—deliver sufficient water flow and pressure effectively to all components.

Shop Drawings

We’ll prepare precise shop drawings that detail the layout and specifications of the fire sprinkler system. These are essential for the installation process and help in coordinating other trade services.

System Installation

Installation of High Quality Components

The following fire safety equipment is commonly included in commercial projects, though not all components are installed in every case:

Sprinkler heads
Fire Extinguishers
Fire Blankets
Fire Hydrants
Fire Hose Reels
Fire Pumps
Fire Tanks

Documentation & Certification

As-Installed Drawings

Upon completion of the system’s installation, finalised drawings are provided to reflect the actual setup.

Maintenance Manual

A comprehensive maintenance manual is created to guide the operation, inspection and maintenance of the installed system.

Block Plan

The block plan is prepared or updated to show an overview of the installation, highlighting crucial elements. This is vital for emergency services, providing quick access to critical information during emergencies.

Independent Certification

The installation undergoes independent certification to verify compliance with all applicable fire safety standards and building codes.

Completion Certificates

Upon successful installation and inspection, completion certificates are issued by our VBA Licensed Sprinkler Fitter.

Testing, Commissioning & Warranty

Testing and Commissioning

We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of all installed fire safety equipment to ensure each component functions according to the system’s design specifications. We adjust settings, calibrate instruments and troubleshoot any discrepancies to guarantee system reliability and effectiveness.

Defect and Liability Period

After the completion of the installation and initial testing, we offer a 12-month defect and liability period. This covers all parts and labour associated with the repair or replacement of any components that fail.

Compliance Testing (AS 1851-2012)

To adhere to the AS 1851-2012 standard which outlines the routine service of fire protection systems and equipment, we conduct monthly compliance testing for the first year following the system’s installation.

Operational Provisions

System Drain Downs and Isolations

To ensure safe modifications or repairs to the sprinkler systems, executing drain downs and isolations is a critical procedure. This involves systematically shutting off and draining the water or extinguishing agents from specific sections of the fire suppression system, allowing our team to safely perform maintenance or upgrades without accidentally triggering the system.

Coordination with Other Trades

Effective collaboration with other on-site trades is essential for the seamless integration of fire safety systems within the broader scope of construction or renovation projects. Our team actively coordinates with:

Electrical;
Plumbing;
Dry fire;
HVAC; and
Structural professionals.

Day and Night Work Allowance

Recognising the diverse demands of construction and retrofit projects, we allocate resources for both day and night shifts as required by the site schedule.
