For building and site owners, fire tank inspections play a vital role in maintaining safety and full functionality in emergency situations. To comply with Australian standards, it is vital to hire licensed professionals. They ensure fire tanks are inspected and suppression resources remain operational.
Regulations vary from state to state, but there are some general guidelines and requirements that apply regardless of location or industry. In some cases, a complete fire tank replacement may be necessary, but in other cases, the appropriate fittings can be added to existing potable water tanks to convert them into fire suppression units.
Commercial tank owners must first understand their responsibilities. Making necessary repairs during each maintenance period ensures system reliability.
Depending on the age and location of your tank, it may need to be maintained in accordance with AS1851-2005 or AS1851-2012.
