As a key piece of critical infrastructure, it is necessary for Brisbane Airport to remain fully operational at all times. To make this possible, this world class facility is kept at the highest standards at all times through routine maintenance and systematic upgrades.

Brisbane Airport Corporation recently required an upgrade to the Fire Panel in the International Terminal Building. The current Fire Panel was no longer supported by the manufacturer due to restricted availability of the system components, and the fire detection and alarm system communication protocol used by detection devices being made redundant.

CV worked alongside Campak to deliver this essential Fire Panel upgrade which would ensure the highest level of fire safety was maintained within the building.

The works CV delivered for the project included:

• Replacing the main fire indicator panel in the International Terminal Building’s fire control room
• Replacing any fire systems components not compatible with the new Fire Panel
• Replacing all existing detectors in the International Terminal Building and associated buildings
• Isolating all dry fire systems
• Programming of the Fire Panel and graphics

Throughout the project, CV was required to be mindful of working in a live environment operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The team successfully delivered all required works while ensuring that any impacts to the airport’s operations were kept to a minimum.

Campak and BAC were extremely happy with the way CV’s Fire Team led and managed their facets of the Fire Panel upgrade which allowed the project to be delivered on time and on budget.
