This blog has previously mentioned our work amongst fine old dames of the Melbourne CBD. Greater Melbourne has many fine heritage buildings as well. Some have undergone major face-lifts or have been re-purposed, but we headed to Healesville to carry out regular maintenance activities on two iconic hotels that have continuously served both local and traveling communities for over a century. And of course their Essential Services require regular maintenance to comply with the standards we all expect.
Healesville – The Healesville Hotel
On a lovely day in March, with a few of those in store, we scheduled our routine maintenance checks at the Healesville Hotel.
As usual we start with opening the fire alarm panel, and we select test mode before we get going.
Fire alarm panel
Each level undergoes a quick visual check of the fire response equipment.
We received advice that one of the extinguishers discharged, so we brought a replacement. You can see that the pressure gauge on the depleted unit shows 0 kPa. The office withdrew and held this unit.
As we wrap up, we admire the freshly delivered shipment of fine wines, ready to be properly stowed. We’d love to stay and help with that—perhaps next time.

… and since 2016, a facelift on the outside and a good polish up inside too
Again a check of the fire alarm panel for any messages of alarms and confirm that everything is consistent with full functionality.
We check go through various prompts and update the log books as we go.
Again we check all the fire equipment on each level and confirm that the schematics posted on each level, for the use of guests, is in alignment with the actual equipment in place.
All is good in these Hotels, and the diners can get on with their pallet cleansers.
