Establishing Baseline Data for a Commercial Tower

A commercial office tower had never had formal baseline data established for its fire systems, making meaningful AS 1851 maintenance impossible.

The Problem

A 15-storey commercial office tower had been maintained under AS 1851 for years, but had never had formal baseline data established. Maintenance reports were comparing current readings to nothing — there was no documented benchmark.

The Challenge

The building had hydrant, sprinkler and detection systems across 15 levels with no commissioning records available. The maintenance contractor could not verify whether readings were acceptable because there was no reference point.

Our Solution

Our engineers conducted a comprehensive baseline survey of all fire systems, documenting: hydrant system configuration and test points, sprinkler zone layout and valve positions, detection system zones and device counts, and operational parameters where measurable.

The Outcome

Complete baseline data documentation for all fire systems. The maintenance contractor now has a real benchmark to compare against, and the building owner can demonstrate that maintenance is being conducted to a meaningful standard.
