Background

Critical Fire was selected to provide Fire Detection and Occupant Warning System works at the DPIRD Regional Office in Katanning, a small regional town in the Great Southern Region of Western Australia. Following the identification of required structural repairs, works were required to remove a large portion of the fire detection and occupant warning system to permit the structural repairs and, following these repairs, reinstatement of the system.

• Travelling to site with all required tools and equipment, being mindful that a small town may not have local resources if required
• Testing of the system to confirm its current status
• Survey of the area to identify components required for demolition
• Removal of all fire detectors, OWS speakers and all associated cabling from the demolition area.
• Make safe and terminate cabling to permit structural works

Following the repairs, re-attendance at site to complete:

• Roughing in of cable to required locations for detector and speaker installation
• Supply and Installation of detectors, speakers and cabling plus associated fixings
• Testing and commissioning of all works
• Removal of all waste materials from site
• Compliance documentation

Outcomes

1. All works completed in accordance with AS 1670 and client specifications
