Fire Protection

The best fire protection is prevention and passive fire systems. A passive fire system, such as Fire Doors, compartmentalises the building and prevents or slows the spread of fire from the room where it originated to other areas in the building.

Building owners use passive fire systems to close off gaps in floors and walls, around cables, pipes and ducts and in control joints.

We provide a comprehensive range of fire doors and passive systems to help you prevent the risk of fire in your building.

• Conventional heat, smoke and flame detection
• Analogue addressable heat, smoke and flame detection
• High-sensitivity air sampling detectors

• Heat Detectors: spot and line heat detection
• Smoke Detectors: photoelectric, ionisation and multi-criteria
• Flame Detectors: ultraviolet, infrared, dual spectrum and triple infrared
• Pull Stations
• Audible Alarm Devices: such as bells, horns and speakers

• Building Occupant Warning Systems (BOWS)
• Sound Systems and Intercom Systems for Emergency Purposes, previously referred to as an Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System (EWIS)

• A building with an effective height of more than 25m
• A Class 3 building, a rise of two storeys or more, and used as a residential part of a school or accommodation for the aged, children or people with disabilities
• A Class 3 building used as a residential aged care building
• A Class 9a building having a floor area of more than 1,000m² or rise of more than two storeys
• A Class 9b building used as a school and having a rise of more than three storeys or used as a theatre, public hall or the like having a floor area of more than 1,000m² or a rise of more than two storeys

Sprinkler systems

• Wet: the most common are typically found in office buildings, retail establishments and climate-controlled warehouses.
• Dry: designed for environments where the ambient temperature may be cold enough to freeze the water in the sprinkler piping, such as unheated buildings, parking garages and loading docks.
• Pre-action: typically used in areas where accidental activation is unacceptable due to the high value and irreplaceable nature of the equipment or content being protected, e.g. museums, data centres and libraries.
• Deluge: commonly used in special hazard areas where rapid fire spread is a concern such as outdoor transformers and fuel loading racks.

Water mist systems

Foam systems

Gaseous suppression systems

• Commonly employed in areas that are highly volatile, critical or contain sensitive equipment where damage from water is as detrimental to the equipment / materials as a fire (e.g. data centres, hospitals, switchboard rooms, etc.)
• Gaseous Systems (FM200 / Novec 1230 / Argonite / Proinert / CO₂)
• Waterspray Systems (Medium and High Velocity)
• Pre-engineered Foam Systems / Wet Chemical / Dry Chemical Systems
• Foam Systems (Low / Medium / High Expansion)
• Explosion Detection / Suppression

Hydrant and hose reel systems

• Class A – Ordinary Combustible Solids
  Wood, paper, cloth, plastics, rubber, coal, and carbon-based compounds, etc.
• Class B – Flammable & Combustible Liquids
  Petrol, oil, paint, thinners, kerosene, alcohol, etc.
• Class C – Flammable Gases
  L.P.G., Butane, Acetylene, Hydrogen, natural gas and Methane etc.
• Class D – Combustible Metals
  Magnesium, aluminium, sodium or potassium etc.
• Class E – Electrically Energised Equipment
  Computers, switchboards, power-boards, etc.
• Class F – Cooking Oils and Fats
  Cooking oils and fats usually found in industrial kitchens etc.

• Non-maintained – the light units will only illuminate when connection to the main power supply fails.
• Maintained – the light units are illuminated at all times using the same lamps for both normal and emergency operation.
• Sustained – the light units are fitted with two sets of lamps, one connected to the main power supply and the other which operates from a battery supply in the event of a main power failure.
