Fire Detection Systems – Design and Installation

Where there is smoke, there will be fire. Fire Detection Systems can identify the early warning signs of fire, even before flames themselves are present. Torvac’s fire detection systems are critical in being able to stamp out a potentially damaging fire before it takes hold.

Torvac can design, install and maintain a Fire Detection systems to work seamlessly with your procedures for fire suppression activation and equipment shutdown. Our Smoke, Thermal and Flame Detection Systems (including the AlgoRex by Siemens) utilise technologies such as ionisation, ultraviolet, infrared and linear heat detection to quickly identify any fire-related threat to your premises.

AlgoRex® – foolproof early fire detection

Celebrated back in 1994 as a World First, it soon conquered the globe. Foolproof early fire detection filled everyone with awe and soon proved itself in practice. Today, millions of users depend on AlgoRex completely.

Another innovation is TeleRex®, the wireless fire detection system. As reliable as hardwired fire detectors, it is the perfect Fire Detection system for museums and buildings of historic significance.

Case Study

Torvac install a Fire Detection System to protect the animals at the RSPCA…

Torvac have had a long association with the RSPCA and have been managing the fire protection systems since 2011. Animal welfare is at the heart of our core values. It is our privilege to provide continued fire protection to this vital facility. The shelter provides veterinary treatment to abandoned, injured, neglected and sick animals.  

The RSPCA Sydney Shelter is the largest animal shelter in the Southern Hemisphere, caring for 900 dogs and 200 cats. The Sydney shelter is also home to a variety of other animals. This includes: including birds, rabbits, mice, sheep, cattle, goats, horses, pigs, guinea pigs, chickens and ducks.

Early detection also plays a significant role in protecting the safety of emergency response personnel. Property loss can be reduced and downtime for the operation minimised through early detection because control efforts are started while the fire is still small.

The RSPCA trusted Torvac to manage the maintenance and modifications of their fire services. Torvac has designed and installed an Addressable Automatic Fire Detection System. As well as an Occupant Warning System for the new vital additions at the Yagoona shelter. Over the past 10 years Torvac have worked closely with the RSPCA, in expanding their fire system. This included the Stage 1 development of the Yagoona shelter. The Yagoona shelter has a veterinary hospital and is anextremely busy environment. This made programming the installation works a critical item in the successful delivery of the project.

Initially partnering with Kane construction in the delivery of stage 1, with the addition of the new veterinary hospital, surgery and offices. Torvac later partnered with Lahey constructions in the delivery of stage 2 with the addition of the new car park, kennels and cattery. Continuing our association with Lahey constructions, Torvac Solutions delivered the fire protection systems for the new education, administration and training centre.

Torvac is around of our long association with the RSPCA. It is a privilege to be the preferred fire services provider to the RSPCA and protect a world-class animal welfare facility with state-of-the-art fire protection systems.
