Fire Pump and Water Tank Installation – Shepparton

Completed: September 2025
Site: Shepparton RSL, Shepparton VIC
Overview
FWSR Group was engaged by Shepparton RSL to design and install a new fire pump and fire water storage tank as part of a broader upgrade to the venue.
The project aimed to provide dedicated fire water supply and improved fire protection coverage for the site, ensuring compliance with relevant Australian Standards and supporting the safety of staff, patrons and facilities.

The challenge

The project required the installation of new fire infrastructure within a busy hospitality and events venue while coordinating works alongside other contractors involved in the upgrade.

Key considerations included:

  • Designing a fire pump and tank system suitable for the existing site layout
  • Ensuring adequate water supply and system performance for hydrant infrastructure
  • Delivering installation works within the construction schedule

Our solution

Following site assessment and consultation with project stakeholders and equipment manufacturers, FWSR Group designed and installed a dedicated fire water storage tank and diesel-driven fire pump system.

The installation included a galvanised steel fire water tank constructed in accordance with AS2419 and AS3500, paired with a diesel fire pump designed to deliver the required system pressure and flow performance.

Works were completed by our Shepparton-based projects team, ensuring safe installation and coordination with other contractors on site.

Following commissioning, FWSR Group provided:

  • System certification and compliance documentation
  • Training for authorised personnel
  • Installation in accordance with AS2304 and AS2941 and ongoing servicing as per AS1851-2012
