• Automatic Sprinkler Systems
• Deluge / Pre-action Systems
• Water Mist and Water Spray Systems
• Foam Extinguishing Systems
• Gaseous Suppression Systems (e.g. FM-200, Co2, FE-13, Argonite, and Inergen)
• Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm Systems
• Aspirating Smoke Detection Systems
• Smoke Control Systems
• Flame & Gas Detection
• EWIS Evacuation Systems
• Emergency and Exit Lights
• Special Hazard Applications (e.g. Industrial explosive environments, Kitchen Hood suppression, Dry Chemical Suppression)
• Portable Extinguishers and Equipment

We have special capabilities in highly integrated systems that feature fire detection, sprinkler and gas suppression, smoke management controls and occupant evacuation systems to effectively manage fire risk and protect occupants and assets.

As an industry leader in fire protection for mission critical sites such as data processing centres, internet switch facilities and critical storage and archive facilities, we provide not only high quality, high reliability systems for these essential locations, but also full operational documentation and operator training.

Indeed, the more critical the location, the more likely you are to need the detail and quality of a Walker Fire Protection solution.

Building Information Modelling
Walker Fire Protection as part of the A.G. Coombs Group provides access to a recognised global leader in the development and application of BIM to building services design, manufacture, installation and commissioning. The benefits of BIM are realised through all stages of a project; from design, enabling large-scale prefabrication and virtual build simulation, to construction and installation, very significantly reducing coordination issues and waste, and supporting improved site safety, through to enhanced commissioning, operational and maintenance practices, ultimately resulting in improved systems performance. A.G. Coombs is also a key contributor to the BIM-MEPAUS industry initiative.

Warranty and Comprehensive Coverage
Walker Fire Protection offer extended warranties and/or lifecycle comprehensive maintenance arrangements for our installations to allow our customers to further benefit from the quality of the installation and our supply chain partnerships.

Walker Fire Protection provides dependable and cost effective fire services maintenance and management to ensure that essential safety measures are maintained, systems are operable, records are up to date and statutory obligations are met.

The installation and ongoing testing and maintenance of fire protection systems can have a significant environmental impact, particularly with respect to water usage. There is significant opportunity to reduce the amount of water they use over their life, to substantially lessen the extent of materials and other environmental impacts required for their installation and ownership, and to lessen the limitations that fire services can sometimes place on achieving broader sustainability solutions and outcomes.

Walker Fire Protection was one of the first in the fire industry to recognise the opportunity to improve the sustainability of fire protection systems and offers a wide range of ‘green fire’ services including:

• Review and modification of testing criteria and pump and sprinkler system configurations to reduce the amount of water wasted for system testing.
• Alternative design solutions that maximise system adaptability and or use technologies like flexible sprinkler droppers to minimise the extent of changes needed to meet requirements of future layout changes or rationalise systems components e.g. combining the pipework elements of the fire sprinkler and hydrant systems.

Safety is very important to us!

Work Health and Safety is a major focus and Walker Fire Protection’s best practice integrated safety management system is independently certified to Australian Standard AS/NZS 4801:2001 and the stringent SafetyMAP Advanced Level. This combined with a strong safety culture assures safe working practices and the health and safety of our personnel, customer’s staff and building occupants. Continuous improvement of this system continues to deliver safer workplaces and buildings.
