**Two days. Two very different buildings. One common goal... improving fire safety.**
The last couple of days have taken us across regional NSW working on two very different projects.
📍 **Lithgow – Ferrero Warehouse**
We've been engaged to undertake a comprehensive review of the existing fire protection systems after it was identified that no commissioning or baseline performance data was available for the sprinkler and hydrant systems.
Our role is to establish exactly how the systems perform today by documenting existing infrastructure, undertaking hydraulic assessments and determining the benchmark data required for future maintenance, upgrades and compliance.
📍 **Maitland – Imperial Hotel**
We're also assisting with a Council Fire Order for the historic Imperial Hotel.
The project involves assessing and designing upgrades including:
✅ Fire sprinkler systems
✅ Fire detection and alarm systems
✅ EWIS (BOWS) emergency warning system
✅ Street fire hydrant coverage
✅ Overall compliance strategy to satisfy Council requirements
Every building tells a different story.
Some require understanding what already exists before any decisions can be made.
Others require practical engineering solutions to bring older buildings up to today's fire safety standards while respecting their history.
This is the type of work we genuinely enjoy—working with owners, Councils and project teams to solve complex compliance issues and improve life safety outcomes.
If you're dealing with an ageing commercial or industrial building, uncertain fire system performance, or a Fire Order, we'd be happy to help.
