Fire Systems Pipe Corrosion Testing represents a shift in fire protection maintenance by moving from reactive fixes to proactive risk management.

By accurately identifying corrosion and thinning inside pipes using non-destructive pipe thickness testing, this innovation significantly reduces the risk of burst pipes and flooding as one of the most disruptive events for commercial tenants.

This approach allows facilities teams to plan targeted interventions, schedule repairs efficiently and avoid emergency outages. For tenants, this can reduce the likelihood of operational interruptions, water damage to fit-outs or stock and disruption to day-to-day business.

Beyond infrastructure, this innovation helps safeguard tenant continuity, trust and confidence in the building’s management.

By making invisible risks measurable and manageable, Fire Systems, Pipe Thickness Testing sets a new standard in fire safety maintenance, demonstrating that smart innovation can directly protect the people who occupy and rely on commercial spaces every day.

Congratulations to all nominees recognised in this year’s program. The winners will be announced at the 2026 Innovation & Excellence Awards Gala Dinner on 6 November 2026 at ICC Sydney.
