Perth, WA

September 2012– August 2013

Solid Gold Jewellers acquired a lease on the first floor premises of a newly refurbished building in Hay Street, Perth. The fitout of the new tenancy required fire safety engineering and fire systems design for retail space, offices, workshops and a sub-lease area.

Fire Design Solutions provided drafting and design of the upgraded sprinkler, detection and occupant warning systems for the new tenancy fitout. A BCA review of the hydrants, fire hose reels and fire extinguishers was also provided as part of the contract.

An Alternative Solutions was prepared to demonstrate compliance with the BCA. A life safety analysis was undertaken for the tenancy to demonstrate that, with the provision of a sprinkler system tenability could be maintained for occupants to travel extended distances when evacuating without using the escalator. In addition, occupants would be alerted to a fire with the detection and occupant warning systems.
