Axis Services Group
Fire services division

Compliant fire protection, built to standard.

We design, install, and maintain fire protection systems across commercial, healthcare, infrastructure, and industrial buildings. Every system is delivered against the Australian Standard that governs it, and every building under our maintenance agreements carries the records to prove it.

Systems we deliver

Four system families, one contract.

We work across the fire protection systems required on a modern commercial or institutional building, from wet and dry suppression through to detection, alarm, and hydrant infrastructure. Each system is designed, installed, and commissioned by the same team that maintains it.

01 — Sprinkler systems

Sprinkler and suppression

Wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, and deluge sprinkler systems for commercial, industrial, and cold-store environments. Designed and installed to AS 2118, from hydraulic calculation through to witness testing.

02 — Detection and alarm

Detection and alarm

Addressable fire detection, aspirated smoke detection, fire indicator panels, and emergency warning systems for complex multi-zone buildings. Delivered against AS 1670 and integrated with the building's wider services.

03 — Hydrant and pump

Hydrant and pump

External hydrant networks, internal hose reels, booster assemblies, and fire pump sets for new buildings and upgrades to existing ones. Designed to AS 2419, coordinated with the hydraulic services scope under a single contract.

04 — Gas suppression

Gas suppression

Clean agent and inert gas suppression for data centres, switchrooms, heritage interiors, and other areas where water-based systems are unsuitable. Specified, installed, and commissioned to AS 4214 and NFPA 2001.

Compliance framework

The standards that govern our work.

Fire protection in Australia is a regulated field. The table below sets out the primary standards that apply to the systems we install and maintain, the buildings they apply to, and the inspection cadence expected under AS 1851.

AS 2118 Design and installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems, including wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, and deluge configurations. Six monthly routine, annual full inspection under AS 1851.
AS 2419 Design and installation of fire hydrant and hose reel systems, including booster assemblies and pump sets. Quarterly routine, annual flow and pressure testing under AS 1851.
