Fundamentals of Assessing, Inspecting and Commissioning Fire Safety Systems for Compliance with the National Construction Code
This training session will review all aspects of the installed fire systems, including; onsite pumps and location, combined sprinkler and hydrant systems, water sources including fire and street hydrants and the impacts that these have on water supply to enable fire service attendance.
This training session is well suited to building surveyors either in the private sector or local government who deal with all classification types of buildings that require active fire safety systems to be installed. No matter if you have only basic knowledge of inspecting fire safety systems to be installed or a senior building surveyor with many years of experience, this training event will be for you.
This training session will be delivered in three parts;
- Victorian Building Authority & the Country Fire Authority
- CFA/MFB - Fire services position including referrals
i. Design;
ii. Installation;
iii. Commissioning;
iv. Testing;
v. Maintenance
- Industry maintenance services - FPAA
- Essential Services Maintenance
- RED Fire Engineers - Inspection of Fire Safety Systems with real case examples.
- Amy Seppelt SA Fire - Design and installation of fire safety systems in residential and commercial buildings requiring active fire safety systems.
Relevant NCC requirements and referenced Australian Standards including, but not limited to the following will be reviewed;
- Part E of Vol. One of the NCC
- AS 2419.1 Fire hydrant installations System design, installation and commissioning
- AS 2441 Installation of fire hose reels
- AS 2444 Portable fire extinguishers and fire blankets
- AS 2118 Part 1 Automatic fire sprinkler systems
- AS 2118 Part 4 Sprinkler protection for accommodation buildings not exceeding four storeys in height
- AS 2118 Part 6 Combined sprinkler and hydrant systems in multistory buildings
- AS 1851 Maintenance of fire protection systems and equipment
A practical approach is to be deployed showing the design and mechanical aspects of inspecting and certifying these systems to enable final approval/occupation to occur.
All this and more will be covered in this not to be missed session for building surveyors and allied professionals alike who deal with assessing buildings that require active fire safety to be installed.
There are limited places available, so please ensure you register early to guarantee your seat.
