About Us & Our Fire Inspection Services
About Us & Our Fire Inspection Services
Corporate Background History - NOW IN OUR 21st YEAR!
Our company has been in operation since 1990. We originally traded in Western Australia as Ceasefire Pty Ltd, operating as agents for Central, Spraysafe and Globe fire sprinkler equipment via Lansdale Fire Services – Melbourne (now Globe Sprinklers).
From 1986 to 1998 we represented Fire Protection Inspection Services in W.A. by carrying out independent third party certification of fixed fire systems andfire sprinkler system inspections.
As well as certification services we have, in the past, done consulting in fire protection for Norman, Disney & Young, Arup and the Fire Protection Association of Australia.
After moving to Melbourne in 1999 the company name was changed to reflect the emphasis on consulting and certification relating to fixed fire protection and detection systems. Since 2007 all fire inspection services have been done under the trading name of System Survey.
Operational History to 2010
Since 2001 we have concentrated on developing our own certification and consulting services. This has resulted in a major ongoing contract to provide these services to Woolworths in Victoria and Tasmania.
We have also continued with other specific project consulting work for such clients as BIC Australia, TMP Worldwide (Monster.com), Huntsman Chemicals, Cadbury Schweppes, Zinifex (Hobart) and Alcoa (Point Henry). Notable fire inspection service and approval projects include Origin Energy (BassGas), Bendigo Bank Data Centre, IBM Data Centre and extensions to Hewlett Packard plus numerous residential projects of various sizes, including high rise.
Specialist Services - Historical Buildings
Over a span of 40 years we have built up knowledge of the alternative approaches needed to accommodate the special fire protection needs of historical buildings. These include approval processes to get sprinklers into the Princes Theatre, Melbourne and subsequent fire sprinkler inspection services. We also consulted on the refurbishment of the original 125 year old WA State Library in its conversion to an extension of the WA State Museum. More recently we have been involved in inspection and certification of new fire systems (both sprinklers and fire detection) in several old buildings in Ballarat and Bendigo. Early in 2008 we were part of a team providing a full fire safety overview of Melbourne Town Hall and the adjacent Council Offices.
