Each fire pump package is Australian-built and supplied as a complete system, including suction and discharge manifolds, valves, controllers, jacking pump and switches – all pre-wired, pre-plumbed and fully tested prior to dispatch.
Key features:
Diesel or electric motors available
Built to fit custom plant room layouts
Pump selection matched to application requirements
Flexible package configuration to meet site demand
Testing to guarantee the duty-points as quoted
The Global Pumps fire pump range includes complete fire protection pump systems configured to suit commercial buildings, industrial facilities, mining operations and remote sites. Systems can be supplied as stand-alone units or as fully integrated solutions, depending on site requirements.
Depending on your application and site requirements, fire pump system configurations can be tailored to ensure performance meets the site’s hydraulic 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. Testing is completed at Global Pumps’ South Australian test facility to achieve the specified duty points prior to dispatch, providing confidence that your fire pump set will perform as required.
For many installations, ISO end suction centrifugal pumps are the preferred choice. These pumps provide a simple, efficient, and reliable solution within larger fire protection pump systems, particularly in commercial and industrial fire pump applications.
Global Pumps supplies packaged fire pump systems in two primary configurations to suit site requirements:
Skid-mounted fire pump packages are assembled on a common heavy-duty base frame and installed within a plant room or purpose-built enclosure. This configuration is ideal for sites with available internal space and allows straightforward integration with existing buildings and infrastructure.
Containerised systems are housed within a modified shipping container, providing protection from weather, dust and temperature extremes. These systems are commonly specified for remote, industrial and outdoor installations where a controlled environment is required for reliable operation.
Global Pumps diesel fire pump sets are engineered for sites where fire protection must remain operational even when mains power is unavailable, unstable or isolated. Built around matched diesel engines, ISO centrifugal pump ends, controllers and packaged assemblies, they are suited to mining, remote infrastructure, oil and gas, processing plants and heavy industrial sites requiring independent emergency water delivery. Systems can be supplied skid-mounted, containerised or integrated into a pump room, with options including galvanised steel frames, seismic mountings, premium engine brands, AS1692 fuel tanks and AS 2941 compliance testing.
Global Pumps electric fire pump systems are designed for facilities with reliable electrical infrastructure that need efficient, automatic and precisely matched fire protection performance. Each package is engineered to suit the required hydraulic duty, site conditions and compliance needs, with electric motor-driven operation, integrated controls, premium ISO centrifugal pump ends and robust galvanised base frames. These systems are well suited to commercial buildings, warehouses, processing facilities, industrial plants and sites where quiet operation, lower maintenance and fast automatic response are key requirements.
Global Pumps integrated fire pump systems combine diesel and electric drive options into one complete, skid-mounted package for sites requiring redundancy, staged operation or continuous fire protection coverage. Engineered for commercial, industrial and mining environments, these systems are pre-configured to simplify installation and reduce commissioning time, with heavy-duty galvanised skid bases, seismic-rated mountings, ISO centrifugal pump ends, genuine Victaulic valves and fittings, and optional jockey pump systems for pressure control. Diesel configurations can also include Bowman heat exchangers and silencers to suit demanding site conditions. Each package is tested in-house to AS 2941-2013 standards to verify hydraulic performance before dispatch.
A fire pump system is designed to deliver water at the required pressure and flow rate when the available mains supply is insufficient for firefighting demand.
The system typically consists of a pump, driver, controller and associated pipework. Water is drawn from a dedicated source - such as a tank, reservoir or underground supply - and distributed through sprinkler systems and hydrant networks to support fire suppression throughout the site.
Fire pump systems operate automatically when a pressure drop is detected within the fire protection network, ensuring rapid response during an emergency.
Systems can be configured to meet the specific hydraulic requirements of commercial, industrial and mining facilities.
Fire pump systems are widely used across mining, heavy industry and building services environments where reliable fire protection and compliant water pressure are essential.
Common applications include:
Commercial office buildings and high-rise developments
Schools, universities and education facilities
Hospitals, aged care facilities and healthcare centres
Shopping centres and public infrastructure
Warehouses and distribution centres
Manufacturing plants and processing facilities
Mining operations and heavy industrial sites
Oil & gas facilities
Remote camps and accommodation villages
Defence and government facilities
Sites with limited or inconsistent mains water supply
In these environments, a properly specified fire water pump system ensures adequate flow and pressure to sprinkler and hydrant networks, forming a critical part of the site’s overall fire protection strategy.
The scale and configuration of a fire pump depends on the hydraulic requirements of the site. In most installations, ISO end suction centrifugal pumps are utilised due to their efficiency, reliability and compliance with fire protection standards.
Pump materials and configurations are selected based on the application and environmental conditions.

Yes, our fire pumps can be customised to suit your application's demands and requirements. This includes pump selection, control systems, skid layouts and optional accessories to match plant room or enclosure constraints.
Our fire pumps are manufactured to Australian Standard 2941-2013 and align with the Intent of American Fire pump standard, NFPA20. All systems are performance tested prior to dispatch to verify duty points and compliance.
Yes! Fire pump packages can be supplied within purpose-built enclosures or modified containers to suit environmental conditions, site access or noise considerations.
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.
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.
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.
While Global Pumps does not carry out on-site installation, we provide you with detailed documentation and technical support to assist contractors with installation and commissioning.
Yes, the control panel includes a soft-starter for the motor, ensuring a smooth and reliable startup process for your pump.
Below is a guideline of how long it takes to build according to your specifications. Excluding design review and sign-off, a set will typically take:
| Product | Delivery time frame |
| Diesel fire pump set | 6-8 weeks |
| Electric fire pump set | 6 weeks |
| Diesel/electric fire pump set | 8 weeks |
