Fire Pump System Upgrade for NSW High School | Allflo Pumps & Equipment

Written by Admin | Nov 10, 2021
Allflo Pumps & Equipment was engaged to supply a compliant fire pump system for a high school in New South Wales following the construction of a new multi-purpose hall.
The additional building works changed the site’s fire protection requirements, meaning the existing fire pump system was no longer suitable for the updated classification & building size.

 

The Challenge

The school required a new fire pump solution that:

  • Met updated fire protection requirements
  • Complied fully with Australian Standards
  • Provided protection from weather, vandalism, and unauthorised access
  • Could be delivered and coordinated despite COVID-related disruptions

Allflo was approached by a NSW plumbing contractor to design & supply a suitable fire pump system for the application.

 

The Allflo Solution

Allflo engineered and supplied a complete fire pump package, designed to meet site requirements and compliance standards.

The solution included:

  • A NicheFire dual fire pump enclosure
  • Full-size lockable access doors
  • External strobe and audible alarm
  • A fire pump system rated at 10 L/s at 850 kPa + 130%
  • Construction to AS 2941-2013 fire pump standards

The enclosure provided protection from weather exposure, reduced vandalism risk, and prevented unauthorised access by students and visitors. Enclosures were supplied in Colorbond® finishes to suit the surrounding environment.

 

Delivery and Installation

 

Despite border closures and logistical challenges during COVID-19, close coordination between Allflo and the plumbing contractor ensured the system was delivered, installed, and commissioned successfully.

 

 

 

Outcome

The completed fire pump system provides the school with a compliant, secure, and reliable fire protection solution, offering peace of mind for staff, students, and visitors.

The client praised Allflo’s communication, pricing, and after-sales support, highlighting the smooth delivery of the project despite external challenges.

This project demonstrates Allflo’s capability to deliver fully compliant fire pump solutions for education and public infrastructure facilities.
