Fire Sprinkler Systems
Fire sprinkler systems are very effective active fire protection systems used to protect a range of commercial and industrial property from offices to factories.
Total Fire Solutions has years of experience designing, installing and maintaining these systems. We’ll deliver the optimal fire sprinkler system layout and make sure it’s fully compliant with the Australian Fire Protection Standards.
Installation
What is a Fire Sprinkler System?
-
Fire protection sprinkler systems are an active fire protection method, consisting of a closed or open interconnected pipe work.
The automated water action is via a sprinkler valve connected to mains water pressure and is activated by flow from a burst and predetermined temperature rated sprinkler heads.
Sprinkler systems are heat activated. When a fire starts, the air heats rapidly and rises. Each sprinkler head has a bulb filled with an alcohol-based liquid that expands when hot. It shatters the bulb, triggering the water release to douse the fire. Only the sprinkler heads heated by the fire will trigger, minimising water damage to unaffected areas.
Total Fire Solutions usually install this type of fire suppression system in factories and large commercial buildings, but they may also work cost-effectively in smaller or domestic buildings or as an office sprinkler system.

Fire Sprinkler Installation
-
Our qualified team will first consult and design your optimal fire sprinkler system layout to make sure it's the right fit. This means our technicians can then install the system with minimum fuss or disruption to your business.
Our specialised team may work initially with architectural engineers for the initial design, our estimators, installers and machinery specialists follow the below process for installation.
- Initial consultation and collaboration with all stakeholders to agree on requirements and type of fire sprinkler system.
- Risk-based assessment is completed, considering local safety standards and compliance.
- The engineered design plan is created in relation to risk or hazards in the building.
- Installation of fire tanks or specialised pumping is assessed.
- Check of water piping system and building water tanks.
- Fire sprinkler system testing can be done weekly, monthly or yearly.
- Check of water piping system and building water tanks.
- Each project is different and timing will vary depending on size and scope.
