Building and site owners with fire tanks are responsible for ensuring their tanks are safe and functional in an emergency. It is essential to hire qualified, licensed professionals to inspect fire tanks in accordance with Australian industry standards to keep suppression resources full and operational at all times.
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.
As a commercial tank owner, your first line of defense is to understand your responsibilities and make necessary repairs during each maintenance period.
Depending on the age and location of your tank, it may need to be maintained in accordance with AS1851-2005 or AS1851-2012.
Australian Fire Tanks will ensure your onsite fire tanks:
Fire tanks should be drained, cleaned, and refilled at two main points in their lifespan:
After fire tanks have been emptied, cleaned, and inspected, they should be refilled as soon as possible. Make sure that the liners and all other components are properly reinstalled. All of these services should be performed by professional fire tank installation experts, not unlicensed or untrained technicians.
