Leaders in fire protection, DEM Fire’s 2022 year in review

Our services also provide fire systems in new buildings. We have embarked on other projects this year where we have identified risks and worked with fire experts to mitigate these risks and provide invaluable expertise.

Hospital and school fire safety and fire protection are also two areas that require a specialised approach. When designing fire solutions in these environments, there are multiple factors to consider that can put occupants at a significantly higher risk. Working around the operational needs and planning evacuation processes can also prove challenging.

We learned some humble lessons this year with one of our long-standing clients, The Goodman Group.

Heritage buildings must comply with strict heritage protection compliance requirements, so we used WiFi technology to avoid altering the interior structure of a heritage building.

Our team also developed an innovative pre-action sprinkler system for a long-time client, Trend Pac, to protect their plastic injection moulding production. The system uses sophisticated technology that requires two elements to set it off.

The BCA (Building Code Australia) is now known as the National Construction Code (NCC). Our Senior Fire System Designer, Kamal Adhikari, attended the detailed training workshop to unpack these structural changes and how DEM Fire will integrate the NCC compliance obligations across the business.

As a team, we also celebrated R U OK? Day and National Family Business Day in September.
