This project was completed in two distinct phases to provide comprehensive fire protection across Harvey Norman’s new retail and warehouse facilities. 

Harvey Norman Retail Store

This project involved the complete fit-out of sprinkler protection throughout Harvey Norman’s newly designed, high-quality retail space. The store features exposed high-level and void areas, all comprehensively protected by a sophisticated sprinkler system installed at ceiling level and key structural points. 

Warehouse S

For Harvey Norman’s new warehouse and distribution facility, we installed an extensive fire protection system. This included new water supplies, duplicate diesel-driven fire pumps, and a tailored sprinkler system. The warehouse’s sprinkler coverage comprised:

  • Roof-level protection across the entire facility.
  • High-density protection of 30 mm/min in the marshalling area.
  • Multi-level in-rack sprinkler systems to safeguard inventory efficiently.

Our Project Manager Joe B said “It was a really interesting fast track project where we deal with the developer, a main contractor, the shopping centre owner, and the racking company. It went really well, challenging at times, but overall the teams were focused on getting the project delivered on time for the fantastic end user Harvey Norman.” 

In all my experience working with Harvey Norman stores worldwide, I have not seen a sprinkler company deliver such high-quality work within such a short time frame. Their pricing was competitive, making them a fantastic choice, and we look forward to continuing to work with them on future projects.
