Sicada Fire and Safety - Fire and Safety Equipment for the Mining Industry

Sicada is a unique fire and safety equipment company with well over 1,100 clients located throughout Australia and expertise in mining applications and securing compliance.

We can supply, install and maintain your extinguishers, hose reels, hydrants, sprinkler systems, fire alarms, safety products, special hazards and emergency lighting.

Mine-site fire and safety maintenance services

Sicada offers a prompt and reliable full mine-site maintenance service for all fire systems including alarms, sprinklers, deluge, heavy vehicle fire suppression, portables, safety products and training.

We aim to provide a fast and comprehensive service with short response times and, most importantly, we keep sufficient spares to cover any emergency.

We can assist in conducting a full risk assessment in accordance with AS5062-2006 to ensure that your existing and future systems meet your requirements.

Sicada offers a 24/7 coverage and breakdown call-out service.

Audit, maintenance and installation of fire safety systems

We can review your current installations to ensure their continued effectiveness and, regardless of the manufacturer, we can service and repair all systems.

In addition to callouts and routine maintenance, we offer full installation services for all towns in the Bowen Basin region (including Mackay, Rockhampton, Emerald, and Gladstone) and also in Brisbane and south-east Queensland.

We can now also offer these services in the Gunnedah Basin region and the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales, from our offices in Tamworth and Narrabri, where we trade as 'Firetalk.'

All service records are available online at any time and can be downloaded and printed at your discretion. This information is kept confidential and can only be accessed by user name and password.

Maintenance of fire protection equipment

In 2005, the Australian Standard AS1851 covering the maintenance of fire protection equipment was completely revised and released as AS1851-2005.

AS1851-2005 aligns various previous standards into one consistent volume thus ensuring that all systems are serviced and maintained in a similar manner, and where systems are interfaced it ensures no areas are left exposed. Sicada can help your operation gain, regain or retain compliance to AS1851-2005.

Fire suppression systems on mobile and transportable equipment

AS5062-2006 is the relevant standard for fire suppression systems on mobile and transportable equipment, and sets the benchmarks for designing and installing a quality fire suppression system.

Sicada is the sole Queensland distributor for the Bulbeck 'Stryker' BF5062 foam spray fire suppression system, and we are also an agent for Ansul dry powder systems.

These are both high-quality products that fully comply with AS5062-2006, and are listed on the CSIRO ActivFire register of fire protection equipment.
