The dry fire systems in Buildings A, B, C and H1 are now all commissioned and connected to the Queensland Fire Department (formerly Queensland Fire and Emergency Services) monitoring system.
Building C was connected in June, while Buildings A, B and H1 were connected on 25 July with Building D expected to follow suit over the next coming weeks.
Design works have commenced on the site-wide graphics interface allowing Main Gatehouse to monitor from central location
Scoping works are progressing in all buildings across Brisbane Markets, with each at varying stage of progress, from design refinement to nearing construction.
Due to the nature of the project, BML has several teams of technicians working on different stages simultaneously and preparation works are continuing in buildings across the Brisbane Markets site.
The new system was designed with flood mitigation at the fore, with all new FIPs installed above peak flood levels and controlled via removable mimic panels installed at monitoring level.
While the panels are designed to be removed ahead of any future flood event, the FIPs will remain unaffected ensuring the dry fire system maintains full functionality in the event of a future natural disaster.
The site-wide dry fire system is projected to be completed by early 2025.
