AS 1851-2012 Tank Inspections: What Raven Tanks Offers in Australia   

Introduction 

AS 1851-2012 is the Australian Standard for the maintenance and service of fire protection systems and equipment. This Standard sets out the requirements for the inspection and maintenance of fire water tanks, including the frequency of inspections, the types of inspections to be performed, and the qualifications of the personnel who can perform the inspections. 

Raven Tanks is a leading supplier of fire water tanks in Australia. We offer a comprehensive range of tank inspection services to ensure that your fire water tank is in compliance with AS 1851-2012 and that it is always ready to protect your property and staff in the event of a fire. 

Case study: Raven Tanks helps commercial building to extend the lifespan of its fire water tank 

A commercial building in Sydney, compliant with AS 1851-2012, had a fire water tank that was over 20 years old. The building owner was concerned about the condition of the tank and wanted to extend its lifespan.

Raven Tanks was contacted to perform an inspection of the tank and to provide recommendations for extending its lifespan. Our team of qualified inspectors performed a thorough inspection of the tank and identified a number of minor problems, such as surface corrosion and a few minor leaks. 

We recommended a number of repairs and maintenance tasks to extend the lifespan of the tank, including: 

  • Cleaning and coating the tank: We cleaned the tank to remove the surface corrosion and then coated it with a protective coating to prevent further corrosion. 
  • Repairing the leaks: We repaired the minor leaks in the tank. 
  • Implementing a maintenance plan: We recommended a maintenance plan to the building owner to help keep the tank in good condition. 

The building owner followed our recommendations and Raven Tanks performed the repairs and maintenance. As a result, the fire water tank is now in good condition and is expected to last for many more years. 

Benefits to the commercial building 

The commercial building benefited from Raven Tanks’ services in a number of ways, including: 

  • Extended lifespan of fire water tank: The lifespan of the fire water tank was extended by many years, saving the building owner the cost of replacing the tank. 
  • Reduced risk of downtime: A fire water tank failure can lead to costly downtime for a business. By extending the lifespan of the tank and reducing the risk of failure, Raven Tanks helped the building owner to avoid this risk. 
  • Improved safety: A well-maintained fire water tank is more likely to function properly in the event of a fire, which can help to protect the building and its occupants. 

Conclusion 

This case study shows how Raven Tanks can help businesses and organizations to extend the lifespan of their fire water tanks. By having your tank inspected and maintained regularly by Raven Tanks, you can ensure that it is always ready to protect your property and staff in the event of a fire.
