    Critical Infrastructure & Compliance Specialists

    Our OFTEC- and IEEC-accredited engineers carry out detailed site inspections and produce compliant OFTEC reports, ensuring your fuel systems meet regulatory standards and remain fully operational.

    Uninterrupted Fuel Supply for Emergency Power

    We maintain the day tank, transfer pump and bulk storage tank that keep emergency generators running, so your fire station has power exactly when it's needed.

    Early Leak & Alarm Detection

    High-level alarms, bund alarms and floor-mounted water leak alarm systems detect issues at the earliest stage, sending instant alerts so facilities teams can act before problems escalate.

    Trusted, Long-Term Engineering Partnerships

    Our engineers take pride in their work and build long-term relationships with fire station clients, delivering reliable service you can call on again and again.

    Fuel Tank Inspection & Servicing for Fire Stations

    Fire station fuelling facilities typically include diesel tanks of around 5,000 to 10,000 litres, which we recommend inspecting and servicing every six months. Our service covers mechanical and electrical inspections, fuel sampling, testing and polishing, pump calibration, preventative and reactive maintenance, and tank inspection and cleaning.

    Generator & Pump Services

    Fire stations rely on power generators to provide electricity in an emergency. Typically, a generator has two tanks: a day tank that supplies a day’s fuel to the generator via a fuel pump, and a larger bulk tank that transfers fuel to the day tank via a transfer pump when needed. We maintain every part of this system to keep it reliable.

    Tank Gauge Setup, Maintenance & Calibration

    Tank gauges measure fuel pressure and convert it into accurate fuel level readings, sending signals to activate alarms in the event of potential overfilling. Our engineers install and program tank gauges, ensure accurate fuel monitoring, and provide annual calibration, which is strongly recommended to maintain accuracy and prevent fuel shortages or overfilling.

    High-Level & Bund Alarm Testing and Maintenance

    High-level alarms protect tanks from overfilling by triggering alerts when fuel reaches a critical level; an incorrect setup can result in spills without warning, making regular testing essential. Bund alarms provide early warning if fuel escapes into the bunded area due to tank failure. Our engineers inspect alarm sensors, control panels and settings, and test and repair bund alarms to ensure reliable early detection.

    Water Leak Alarm Systems for Fire Stations

    We supply and install floor-mounted water leak alarm systems designed for fire stations, protecting critical infrastructure and sensitive equipment. Water sensor probes and detection cables are installed in visible and hard-to-reach locations, including under the floor, triggering an instant alert to your computer or Building Management System if a leak occurs from air conditioning, pipework, boilers or heating systems.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How often should fire station fuel tanks be inspected?

    We recommend inspecting and servicing fire station diesel tanks, typically 5,000 to 10,000 litres, every six months to keep them safe, compliant and operationally reliable.

    How does a fire station's emergency generator fuel system work?

    Most systems use two tanks: a day tank that supplies a day’s fuel to the generator via a fuel pump, and a larger bulk tank that transfers fuel to the day tank via a transfer pump when needed.

    How often should tank gauges be calibrated?

    We strongly recommend annual calibration to maintain accuracy and prevent fuel shortages or overfilling, keeping your fuel monitoring and alarm signals reliable.

    What happens if a high-level or bund alarm is set up incorrectly?

    An incorrect setup can result in fuel spills without warning. That’s why regular testing and maintenance of high-level alarms and bund alarms is essential to reliable early detection.

    How do your water leak alarm systems work?

    We install water sensor probes and detection cables in visible and hard-to-reach locations, including under the floor. If a leak occurs from air conditioning, pipework, boilers or heating systems, the system immediately triggers an alarm and sends an instant alert to your computer or Building Management System.

    What accreditations do your engineers hold?

    Our engineers are OFTEC- and IEEC-accredited. They carry out detailed site inspections and produce compliant OFTEC reports, ensuring your fuel systems meet regulatory standards.
