One of South East Queensland's premier fire protection and maintenance contractors. Boosters, ring mains, landing valves, hose reels and the water supply behind them, installed and flow tested to AS 2419.1 and AS 2441, and maintained to AS 1851-2012. Whether pumped or un-pumped, Safe QLD has the equipment and expertise required to prove your hydrant system will perform on the day the attending fire crew connects to it.
A hydrant system is judged on one thing, whether it can deliver the designed flow and pressure at the most hydraulically disadvantaged outlet on the worst day of its life. That performance depends on the whole chain: the town main or tank feeding it, the ring main and its isolation valves, the booster assembly at the frontage, and every landing valve on every level. Safe QLD installs, tests and maintains all of it, and reports on it as a single system rather than a list of unrelated items.
With a fleet of service and installation technicians and a complete in-house team of industry experts, we handle everything from a routine six-monthly attendance on a strata tower through to booster relocations, ring main extensions and hydrant coverage upgrades on major works. Where a project needs design input, our in-house design and drafting team works it up and coordinates with your hydraulic consultant and certifier.

Internal and external hydrants, landing valves, hose connections, cabinets and signage inspected, functionally tested, repaired and replaced under the AS 1851-2012 routine.
Booster cabinets, inlets, non-return and isolation valves, gauges, block plans and fire brigade signage, checked so a responding crew can connect and charge the system without hesitation.
Underground and above-ground ring mains, isolation valve position and security, buried valve boxes, pipework condition and extensions or diversions for new works.
AS/NZS 1221 hose reels inspected six-monthly under AS 1851-2012, including accessibility, hose and nozzle condition, full run-out, flow check and rewind, with repair or replacement on the spot.

Buildings change. Mains get tapped, valves get closed and left closed, corrosion narrows a ring main, and a system that passed a decade ago quietly stops making its numbers. A flow test is the only routine that catches it. We test at the most hydraulically disadvantaged outlet, record pressure and flow, and compare the result against the design figures on your block plan.
Where a system fails to make its designed flow, we do not simply record the defect. Our technicians investigate the cause, whether it is a partially closed valve, a supply restriction or a booster fault, and quote the rectification.

Fire hose reels are the first-attack capability you put in the hands of occupants, and they are the item auditors find seized, obstructed or leaking more than any other. Safe QLD services them on the same attendance as your hydrants, which keeps site disruption down and puts everything in one consolidated report.
Because hose reels usually share a water supply with the hydrant system, testing them together is the only way to see how the supply behaves under real demand.
AS 1851-2012 sets fixed routines. Miss one and your annual occupier statement is exposed. This is the calendar Safe QLD schedules, delivers and reports on for you.
| Frequency | Hydrants & Landing Valves | Boosters, Ring Mains & Supply | Fire Hose Reels |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | Visual inspection of hydrants, valves, cabinets and signage | Booster cabinet, gauges and isolation valve position checked | Accessibility and visual condition check |
| Six-Monthly | Functional testing of landing valves and hydrant operation | Valve exercising and defect follow-up across the ring main | Full inspection, run-out, flow check and rewind |
| Annual | Flow testing at the most disadvantaged outlet | Supply verified against AS 2419 design flow and pressure | Detailed condition assessment and component replacement |
| Five-Yearly | Overhaul of landing valves and check valves, re-seated or repacked as required | Gauges verified against a calibrated test gauge, full system condition report | Hose replacement and major service as required |
Hydrants and hose reels are only part of your water-based fire protection. Automatic sprinkler systems and the pumpsets and storage that feed them are engineered disciplines in their own right, and we cover both in detail on their own pages.
Design, installation, modification, certification and AS 1851 maintenance of automatic sprinkler systems to AS 2118. Alarm valve sets, flow switches, mains and ranges, tenancy fitout alterations, annual system testing and five-yearly comprehensive assessment including pipe flushing and head checks.
Diesel and electric fire pumpsets, jockey pumps, controllers and storage tanks. Monthly runs under load, annual performance testing against the rated duty point, controller fault finding, pump replacement and tank works, so the supply behind your hydrants and sprinklers is never the weak link.
Multi-site AS 1851-2012 programs covering hydrants, sprinklers, pumps, detection and passive fire under a single agreement and one reporting stream.
