Alongside the many other fundamental services contained within a building's parameters is the fire safety plan. This is an aspect of any building that must cover every square metre of space to be efficient, yet invisible enough to maintain aesthetics.

Life Safety Services provided complete fire protection for the Maritime Towers project, which included the supply and installation of sprinklers, charged risers and alarms. In addition, the company provided and installed safety signs and organised trial evacuations as part of the total service.

General manager Trevor Norkett said the contract came through Fletcher Construction, with whom the company has a very close working relationship.

"We felt the project was very attractive because of its high profile, and it was an added pleasure for us to be involved in the construction of such an architecturally distinctive building."

Life Safety Services subscribes to the turn-key theory when committing to a contract, says Norkett.

"In the same way a good house builder will simply present a key to a client at the end of a job, we leave a project knowing the fire safety system is fully operational and ready to be utilised immediately when we depart."

The company is structured to provide a one-step comprehensive service, drawn from the collective expertise its staff have gained over many years in the industry, says Norkett.

"In an environment of constant change, the company is highly conversant with current regulations and prides itself on delivering prompt, professional service."
