Challenge A global shipbuilding company approached Delta Fire with a specific request to assist in designing and supplying a custom skid fire suppression system to protect a helideck on one of their vessels. The vessel's location and operational environment posed unique challenges that required a robust and highly reliable solution. The system needed to be designed to withstand the harsh sea conditions typically encountered by such vessels. In addition, several constraints had to be addressed: The vessel's design imposed strict limits on the system's size and weight The fire suppression system had to fit within a restricted area without compromising ...

Challenge A specialist engineering company approached Delta Fire to provide a comprehensive Foam Fire Suppression solution for a refurbished fuel terminal. The solution needed a foam dosing water driven proportioner, fire monitors and other miscellaneous fire protection equipment. Solution Upon reviewing the job brief, Delta Fire identified that the initial design was based on around the pump foam proportioners. However, we proposed a more effective solution: the Firemiks foam dosing unit. Due to its broad water flow window, the unit’s versatility and efficiency drove this choice. To ensure we met the client’s needs, we conducted multiple meetings to assess the ...

Challenge Our client sought a local gas suppression solution for data cabinets to enhance their product offering by including a safety upsell.

This solution aimed to limit replacement components, expedite operational restart post-fire and maintain the original design aesthetics of the cabinets.   Solution Delta, in collaboration with our client, sourced a locally approved gas system designed to protect the equipment and ensure easy refilling or replacement throughout its ...

Challenge A fire protection company engaged us to conduct foam fire suppression system testing at a high hazard petrochemical site. The objective was to ensure the systems operated correctly and met relevant standards. Delta Fire was tasked with going to their client's site and performing the necessary tests efficiently and effectively. Solution During the testing phase, we encountered challenges with some of the systems. It was discovered that certain pressure reducing valves were causing discrepancies in flow and pressure, leading to ineffective foam proportioning. This issue threatened the overall efficiency of the fire suppression systems and posed a potential risk ...

Overview Delta Fire was tasked with installing a fire suppression system with locally manufactured hoods for the kitchen of a major food chain located at Gold Coast Airport.

Challenge A leading Australian venue company recently undertook a crucial project to install fire suppression systems in the kitchens of multiple venues across Melbourne, Regional Victoria, and South Australia. The primary challenge was implementing these safety measures without disrupting the day-to-day operations of the busy kitchens. Solution We began with site surveys for each venue to determine specific system requirements and understand each kitchen's operational hours. This was crucial for planning the installation works with minimal impact and meeting the unique needs of each venue. A vital aspect of the strategy involved the location of the systems equipment to avoid ...

Challenge Queensland based engineering, procurement and construction company PEMS approached Delta Fire looking for a fire suppression system for a PNG facility. A foam pourer for an internal floating roof tank was required. The tank was used to store volatile liquids, which posed a fire threat to the facility. Although Delta Fire was commissioned to provide a single foam pourer, after a complete fire safety assessment, we found a unit that led to a revision of the chamber pourers. Solution Delta Fire developed guidance regarding suitable pourers to achieve the appropriate safety standards. We also reviewed cooling rings and fire ...

Challenge  Patrick Terminals is Australia's leading container terminal operating some of Australia's most technologically advanced container terminals at four ports around the Australian coast. Patrick Terminals had acquired five new containers in Perth and Melbourne. They approached Delta Fire to fit the electrical cabinets in the container cranes with fire suppression systems. Previously they had issues with the sealing room. So, they wanted to move away from total flood protection. Delta Fire was tasked with designing and installing systems on cranes in both locations.  Solution  After stakeholder meetings, we determined a Firetrace system would meet the needs and risks associated ...
