Endurance Heavy Duty Fire Pump Systems

Stand-alone or complete packaged fire pump systems which comply to Australian Standard 2941-2013 and the Intent of American Fire Pump Standard NFPA20.

Complete fire pump units are built in Australia with suction and discharge manifolds, valves, controllers, jacking pump and switches all pre-wired, pre-plumbed and tested.

Features include:

  • diesel or electric motors available
  • built to fit custom plant rooms
  • various pumps available depending on application
  • flexible design approach
  • testing to guarantee the duty-points as quoted

WORKING PRINCIPLE

Fire pumps are critical in distributing water through sprinkler systems, where water pressure from water mains and fire fighting equipment cannot reach. Alternatively, in lower set buildings, fire pumps are critical in containing the fire.

A fire pump system is comprised of the pump, the motor (or driver) and the controller. This system receives water from either an underground water supply or a water tank, lake or reservoir, and is powered by electricity or diesel fuel. This water is supplied by the pump and distributes water through the sprinkler system and hose standpipes. 

Depending on your application and site requirements, custom packages can be designed and commissioned. 

APPLICATIONS

Fire pumps are commonly found in mining, industrial and building services. They are an integral requirement for safety.

FAQs

What pumps are available as fire pumps?

The scale and size of the pumps will vary depending on your application, however in most instances ISO end suction centrifugal pumps are utilised in fire pump set-ups. 

End Suction Pumps are high efficiency, high performance and high quality end-suction pumps. These pumps are available in cast iron and stainless for use in these applications. 

Please see our essential guide to fire pumps blog for more information about diesel vs electric fire pumps

Are these fire pumps customisable?

Yes, our fire pumps can be customised to suit your application's demands and requirements. 

What compliance do these fire pumps offer?

All pumps are manufactured to Australian Standard 2941-2013 and the Intent of American Fire pump standard, NFPA20.

DIESEL FIRE PUMPS:

Does the fire pump include a fuel tank?

A: Absolutely! The pump comes equipped with a factory-mounted fuel tank sized for a 6-hour runtime, ensuring you have the fuel needed for extended operation.

How can I reduce noise from the fire pump?

A: We understand noise reduction is important. While sound attenuation isn't included as standard, we offer various silencer options to fit your needs. Additionally, if you choose a pump enclosure, we can incorporate acoustic panelling for further noise reduction.

Are spare parts included with the fire pump?

For your peace of mind, the pump includes a lockable, galvanised toolbox containing essential engine spare parts. This ensures you have readily available replacements for critical components.

Can I get a custom enclosure for the fire pump?

Yes! We offer the flexibility of factory-installing your pump within a custom-built enclosure that perfectly suits your application. Alternatively, we can modify a container to house the pump.

Does Global Pumps provide installation services?

While we don't offer direct installation services, we can provide you with detailed installation instructions and support to ensure a smooth setup process.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Global Pumps’ range of fire pumps can be supplied as stand-alone diesel and/or electric pump units, with matching control panels, or as “Complete Packaged Fire Pump Systems”.

Depending on your application and site requirements, designs can be customised to ensure optimal performance to meet the site’s demand. Fabrication of steel bases and pipework is carried out in-house - with the capabilities to build pump sets to suit your site’s plant room.

All fire pump systems are tested as part of quality control procedures, ensuring peace of mind for customers. Testing is completed to achieve the specified duty points at Global Pumps’ South Australian test facility prior to dispatch.

Pumps commonly used in Fire Pump set-ups are ISO End Suction Centrifugal Pumps. These are a centrifugal-style pump, simple in design and efficient, they are also available with either a diesel or electric-driven motors.
