Sprinkler systems provide automatic protection from fire for your property

Installing a sprinkler system in your building in one of the most important investments you can make when it comes to building safety. A sprinkler system combined with a fire alarm system gives people in your building the best chance of leaving safely and reduces the risk of damage.

Usually a sprinkler system is installed with a number of heads spaced evenly throughout the ceiling. These are connected to a water piping system and kept permanently under pressure. In the event of a fire the system begins discharging water automatically. Systems can be designed to discharge other types of fire fighting products such as foam for specific applications.

Our team can survey your building and then make recommendations before designing and installing a sprinkler system for you.

If your business runs heavy machinery or you own a commercial or private boat, then talk to us about options for vehicle or marine fire suppression systems to protect these assets too.

It is vital to be clear on which types of fires might be most likely at your premises so you can ensure that you have the right type of extinguisher on hand in the event of an emergency. Firewatch Tauranga supplies a wide range of extinguishers and cabinets and can safely install them at your premises. Our team can advise you on the best type of fire extinguisher for your needs and whether you might need a combination of equipment for different fire threats.

Once you have fire extinguishers installed they need to be checked regularly which our team can do. If they need cylinder testing we can do that and refill your existing fire extinguisher which is more cost-effective than purchasing a new one, and is also better for the environment. At Firewatch Tauranga, we have our own IANZ accredited in-house cylinder testing station where we can test and refill. You can either bring your fire extinguishers to our workshop, or we can collect them from your building, take them to our on-site lab and then return them.
