Fire Pump Controller Changeover in Fitzroy
This Fitzroy site was running a Welling & Crossley fire pump controller that had served for years but was now well past its prime — fault indications on the panel and no viable repair path left. Rather than keep patching an unsupportable unit, the changeover to SmartGen was the sensible call.
What the Changeover Involved
- Decommissioning and removal of the old Welling & Crossley cabinet
- Installation of a SmartGen fire pump controller, built by Melfire in Melbourne
- Transfer and testing of pressure switch, alarm and ASE connections
- Battery and charger commissioning
- Full automatic and manual start testing to AS 2941, documented for the site’s ESM records
Inner-City Pump Rooms, No Problem
Fitzroy’s older building stock means tight pump rooms and legacy equipment — exactly the work we do day in, day out across inner Melbourne. The pump set was back on line and fully compliant the same day.
