Global Pumps provides engineered electric fire pump systems designed to deliver the precise flow and pressure for your fire protection requirements. Ideal for Australian commercial and industrial facilities with stable electrical infrastructure, these electric motor-driven fire pumps offer a streamlined, low-maintenance, and highly responsive solution that activates automatically the moment system demand is detected.
Rather than supplying generic, off-the-shelf packages, we engineer each electric fire pump to meet your specific hydraulic duty, site conditions and compliance requirements. This precision-led approach ensures your facility is protected by a purpose-built system designed to perform exactly to its design curve when it matters most.
Global Pumps supplies complete electric fire pump packages designed for dependable operation within commercial and industrial fire protection frameworks. These systems provide a flexible, reliable solution tailored to specific site requirements and can operate as a standalone system or in combination with diesel-driven units on sites where power infrastructure is robust.

Every electric fire pump is tested in-house to meet AS2941 compliance requirements, ensuring reliable performance when required.
In many Australian commercial and essential-service facilities, fire protection systems utilise both electric and diesel fire pumps working together as duty and standby units.
Typically, the electric fire pump operates as the primary pump, offering quiet operation, lower maintenance and efficient performance. A diesel fire pump is provided as the standby, ensuring the fire system remains fully operational in the event of a mains failure or electrical fault.
Diesel fire pumps are commonly required under AS 2941 in buildings where fire protection must remain independent of the electrical supply—such as hospitals, schools, data centres, aged care facilities and critical infrastructure. Electric pumps, however, remain a highly effective solution for sites with stable power and are frequently paired with diesel units to achieve full redundancy.

An electric fire pump delivers water at the required pressure when mains supply or system pressure is insufficient for fire fighting demands.
The system consists of a pump, an electric motor drive, controller and associated pipe work. WIt draws water is drawn from a dedicated source - such as a tank or reservoiran underground supply, tank, lake, or reservoir - and is powered by electricity or diesel. The pump then distributeds through water throughout sprinkler systems and hydrant
The electric motor enables fast, automatic startup, ensuring immediate response when a pressure drop is detected within the system.
Electric fire pump sets are widely used in facilities with stable and reliable electrical infrastructure.
Typical applications include:
Commercial office buildings and high-rise developments
Hospitals, healthcare facilities and aged care centres
Schools, universities and education facilities
Shopping centres and public infrastructure
Warehouses and distribution centres
Industrial plants and processing facilities
These systems are well suited to environments where quiet operation, reduced maintenance and efficient performance are key requirements.
An electric fire pump is typically selected where a reliable and continuous power supply is available. These systems are well suited to commercial and industrial facilities that prioritise simplicity, efficiency and lower operational maintenance
An electric motor driven fire pump offers a compact footprint, quieter operation and reduced maintenance compared to diesel alternatives. It also eliminates the need for on-site fuel storage and associated servicing.
Yes. Facilities such as hospitals, shopping centres and large commercial buildings commonly utilise electric fire pump systems due to their reliable electrical infrastructure and operational efficiency.
Electric fire pumps are best suited to sites with stable power. In many industrial or commercial applications, they are used in conjunction with on-site generators or redundant supply feeds to ensure the system remains active during a grid failure.
System selection should be confirmed in consultation with a qualified project fire engineer and the relevant approving authority to ensure compliance with local safety regulations and site-specific requirements.
Yes. Electric fire pump packages can be supplied within custom-built enclosures or containerised solutions to suit environmental conditions and site constraints.
While we don't offer direct installation services, we can provide you with detailed installation instructions and support to ensure a smooth setup process.
Yes, the control panel includes an electric fire pump controller with an integrated motor starting functionality, such as a soft starter, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.
