Specialist Fire Detection and Suppression Solutions for BESS Sector
For retrofit projects, we assess existing designs against current Australian Standards and applicable network, insurer, and fire authority expectations.
Where imported or legacy systems fall short, we engineer compliant upgrades that can include:
- Multi-criteria fire detection
- Aerosol or water-based suppression interfaces
- Coordinated shutdown and ventilation controls
- Properly signalled discharge and fault indications back to the fire indicator panel, in line with AS1670.5 system interface principles.
Focus Fire Protection manages the entire lifecycle: concept and performance strategy, detailed design, factory and site acceptance testing, and ongoing service in accordance with AS1851 requirements.
All work is documented with clear cause-and-effect, drawings, and commissioning records suitable for regulatory and insurer review.
