Designed for
the worst day.

  1. 01 Design

    Engineered to the hazard.

    Head layout, spacing, pipe sizes and hydraulic calculations are matched to the occupancy and risk, in line with ASIB, NFPA and the National Building Regulations.

  2. 02 Install & charge

    Installed, filled, waiting.

    Mains, branch lines and pendant heads are installed and the wet-pipe system is charged with water under pressure, ready at every head.

  3. 03 Fire

    Heat rises to the ceiling.

    Hot gases collect under the roof. Each head's glass bulb is a heat-sensitive element, rated to operate at a set temperature.

  4. 04 Activation

    Only the heads that need to.

    The bulb shatters, the seal drops and water discharges onto the fire. Heads operate individually, so only those over the fire open.

  5. 05 Control

    Flow, alarm, control.

    Water flow trips the alarm valve and flow switch, the alarm sounds and the fire pump maintains pressure while the fire is controlled.

  6. 06 Maintain

    Ready for the next time.

    Operated heads are replaced, the system is restored, and routine inspection and maintenance keep it compliant.

System lifecycle

From inspection to maintenance.

One team responsible for the system across its life, so design intent, installation and maintenance stay aligned.

  1. 01 · Assess

    Inspect

    Complete inspection of the property and existing systems against legislative requirements.

  2. 02 · Design

    Engineer

    Specifications, plans, layouts, schematics and hydraulic calculations for a system matched to the risk.

  3. 03 · Install

    Install

    Installation in line with ASIB, NFPA and the National Building Regulations.

  4. 04 · Maintain

    Maintain

    Ongoing maintenance to keep systems compliant and ready to operate.

Sprinkler systems

Six system types, matched to the hazard.

SystemPrinciple
Wet pipePipes permanently charged with water; heads discharge individually on activation.
Dry pipePipes charged with air or nitrogen; for areas exposed to freezing.
Pre-actionDetection must operate before water enters the pipework; protects sensitive spaces.
DelugeOpen heads discharge simultaneously across a zone on detection.
FoamFoam concentrate added to water for flammable-liquid hazards.
Water mistFine droplets cool and suppress with reduced water use.
