CIVIL FIRE SERVICES MELBOURNE
Underground fire system repairs, design and remedial works for commercial, industrial and multi-site properties across Melbourne. Melfire provides practical civil fire solutions for ageing, damaged and failing underground fire infrastructure.
Underground Fire Systems.
Practical Solutions.
Underground fire infrastructure can be difficult to inspect, diagnose and repair. Melfire combines fire protection experience with its own plant and equipment to manage underground fire system works efficiently.
Underground Fire System Repairs
Underground fire systems are exposed to conditions that can be difficult to see until a problem develops.
Leaks, corrosion, ground movement, ageing pipework and previous installation issues can all affect underground hydrant and sprinkler infrastructure over time.
Melfire investigates underground fire-service problems, identifies the affected areas and develops a practical repair or remedial approach based on the condition of the existing system.
With our own plant and specialist fire protection capability, we can manage both the excavation work and the fire-service components of many underground projects.
Our Own Plant Makes a Difference
With our own plant, vehicles and specialist equipment, Melfire can manage civil fire works with greater control over scheduling, excavation and site coordination. This helps reduce reliance on third parties and allows our team to respond more efficiently from initial access through to repair and completion.
Our Civil Fire Services in Melbourne
From locating an underground problem to completing repairs and reinstatement, Melfire provides practical civil fire services for existing buildings and fire protection systems.
Underground Fire Main Repairs
Repair or replacement of damaged, leaking or deteriorated sections of underground fire-service pipework.
Leak Investigation
Where relevant, we also consider surrounding conditions that may be affecting system performance.
Excavation & Access
Excavation using Melfire’s own plant to safely expose underground fire-service infrastructure for inspection and repair.
Pipework Replacement
Replacement of ageing, corroded or damaged underground pipework where repair is no longer practical.
Underground Fire System Design
Planning and documentation for underground fire-service alterations, replacements and remedial works, with appropriate registered practitioners involved where required.
Hydrant Main Remedial Works
Rectification of underground hydrant infrastructure affected by leaks, deterioration, damage or unsuitable existing conditions.
When the Problem Is
Below Ground
Underground fire-system faults can be difficult to locate. Leaks, pressure loss, ground movement or ageing pipework may cause problems that are not immediately visible.
Melfire investigates the affected system, exposes the relevant infrastructure and determines the most practical repair or replacement solution.
Our Own Plant Makes a Difference
With our own excavators, backhoe, bobcat, tip truck and specialist equipment, Melfire has greater control over civil fire works from excavation through to completion.
This reduces reliance on third parties and helps us coordinate repairs more efficiently.
Repairs, Replacement & Remedial Works
Not every underground fire-system problem requires complete replacement.
We assess the condition of the existing pipework and recommend the most appropriate repair, partial replacement or remedial solution based on the site conditions.
Design & Existing System Conditions
Older underground fire systems do not always match the drawings available for the property.
Melfire can investigate the existing installation and help develop an appropriate scope for repairs, alterations or upgrades based on what is actually installed on site.
From Excavation to Testing
Melfire coordinates underground fire-system works from initial access and excavation through to repair, replacement and final testing.
Our aim is to provide clients with one clear point of contact throughout the project.
