Active Fire Protection

Routine service to AS 1851 made simple

Detect. Warn. Control. Suppress.

Active fire protection is everything that takes action when there is a fire. We keep those systems ready to perform with routine service to AS 1851, fast fault rectification and clean installations that fit the way you operate. One cross-trained technician completes your visit in a single run to reduce disruption. Records are digital, clear, and ready for compliance checks.

Active Fire Protection Services

Fire Detection and Alarm Systems actively seek fire, alert the occupants and can advise the fire brigade. To perform as designed and to prevent false alarms, they require Routine Service, Inspection and Testing to AS 1851. We schedule monthly and six-monthly and annual checks, including an annual comprehensive survey that verifies detectors, sounders and system interfaces.

What we service

  • Fire Indicator Panels (FIP), addressable and conventional detection systems

  • Aspirating smoke detection such as VESDA

  • Smoke detectors, thermal detectors, manual call points and flame detectors
  • Sounders, strobes and interface devices such as mechanical interface devices including HVAC

What we do

  • Routine Service to AS 1851 with clear records including completed FIP log books

  • Fast fault finding, repairs, upgrades and system modifications

  • Installation and integration of new detection and alarm equipment and extensions to existing networks

Outcome
Full compliance with AS 1851 / AS 1670, reduced false alarms, certainty of compliance

EWS advises occupants when a fire or other emergency is occurring in the building. It delivers clear tones and voice messages, plus it permits fire wardens and building management to clearly communicate during a fire or emergency. We keep your system ready to perform with Routine Service to AS 1851 and equipment installed and maintained in line with AS 1670.4 and the NCC.

What we service

  • Emergency Warning & Intercommunication Systems, Emergency Warning Systems and Occupant Warning Systems
  • Master Emergency Control Panel, speaker zones and amplifiers

  • Warden Intercommunication Phones (WIPs) and cabling

  • Pre-recorded messages, manual controls and interfaces to the FIP

  • Emergency Alarm Initiating Device (EAID)

Routine service and compliance

  • Scheduled monthly and annual tests to AS 1851

  • Annual verification that tones are heard in all areas, including decibel tests.

  • Five-year speech intelligibility checks to confirm clarity of announcements

  • Battery and backup power checks, fault rectification, battery replacement and clear records

Why it matters
Regular maintenance supports orderly evacuation, and helps you meet your legal obligations for larger buildings such as high-rise, hospitals and aged care, shopping centres, assembly venues and education facilities.

What you can expect

  • Routine Service to AS 1851 with clear, compliant records

  • Fast fault finding, repairs and system modifications

  • Minimal disruption, coordinated by our Panels Division

Automatic Fire Sprinklers suppress or control a fire. Fire Pumps provide the flow and pressure required for Sprinklers and Hydrants to operate effectively. Fire water tanks ensure there is enough water supply when you need it most. We keep these systems ready to perform with Routine Service to AS 1851, clear records and fast corrective works.

What we service

  • Sprinkler systems: wet, dry and deluge, valves and alarm devices

  • Fire pumpsets: diesel and electric pumps, jacking pumps and controllers

  • Fire water storage tanks: level controls, strainers and condition checks including drain and cleaning

  • Interfaces to hydrants, detection and monitoring

What we do

  • Scheduled inspection, testing and preventative maintenance to AS 1851

  • Pump run and flow tests, pressure and alarm verification

  • Valve inspection, trip tests and impairment management with permits and notices

  • Water tank inspections and maintenance with documented findings

  • Fault finding, repairs and upgrades with minimal disruption

  • Clear logbooks and compliance reports that stand up to scrutiny

Outcome
Reliable pressure and water supply, fewer failures, strong compliance across your site and systems ready should a fire occur

 

Aspirating smoke detection gives very early warning of smoke, much earlier than a standard smoke detector. A network of small sampling pipes continually draws air back to a central analyser where laser-based sensing can identify minute smoke particles long before conventional detectors respond. That extra time helps you investigate, isolate risk, protect assets and keep people plus operations safe.

Where it fits

  • Data centres, server rooms and switch rooms

  • Clean rooms and health facilities

  • High-airflow or high-ceiling spaces

  • Heritage, archives, art gallerys, museums and warehouses

  • Cold storage and harsh or dusty environments

What we do

  • Routine Service to AS 1851: airflow and pipe integrity checks, filter replacement, detector health, thresholds, alarm and fault verification, with updated logbooks and clear records

  • Fault finding, filter replacement, repairs and performance tuning to minimise nuisance alarms

  • Installation and integration of ASD equipment and extensions to existing detection networks

  • Interface to FIP, BMS and shutdown controls as required

Outcome
Very early warning, enhanced asset protection, fewer disruptions and strong compliance for sensitive, high-value spaces.

Keep your people safe and your site compliant with supply, installation, testing and certification of smoke alarms to AS 3786 and NCC (BCA) requirements. We set up a simple service program that reduces false alarms and proves compliance.

What we do

  • Supply and Install photoelectric smoke alarms and interconnect these alarms where required

  • Location checks and mounting to AS 3786 and NCC

  • Six-monthly functional checks and annual simulated smoke / heat tests

  • Battery replacement and cleaning annually

  • 10-year replacement scheduling and reminders

  • Fault finding, replacements and upgrades

Documentation

  • Certificates of installation and compliance

  • Service records  that stand up to scrutiny

Outcome
Fewer false alarms, clear certification and alarms that work when it matters.
