Description

Custom-Engineered Fire-Safe Battery Storage Solutions

Our Battery Storage Fire Protection Containers are designed to meet leading Australian and international safety standards for lithium-ion and energy storage systems. Each project is custom-engineered from container fabrication through to fire suppression, providing full compliance, reliability, and protection.

Ideal for energy storage projects, solar farms, EV charging hubs, and industrial backup applications requiring certified fire protection and explosion-proof design.

Compliant Design Standards

Built in accordance with:

  • AS 4487:2013 – Condensed aerosol fire extinguishing systems
  • AS 1670.1:2024 and AS 1670.5:2016 – Fire detection, control, and special hazard systems
  • AS ISO 14520.1:2019 – Gaseous fire-extinguishing systems
  • AS/NZS 5139:2019 – Battery system safety
  • NFPA 855:2023 – Energy storage installation
  • NFPA 72:2025, NFPA 68:2023, NFPA 69:2024 – Alarm, venting, and prevention systems
  • AS 2118.1:2017 – Automatic sprinklers
  • AS 7240 series – Fire detection and alarms

Key Features

Fire-Resistant Construction
Triple-layer steel and rockwool panels provide up to 120 minutes of fire resistance (GB/T 9978.1-2008), enhancing insulation and structure integrity.

Explosion-Proof Design

  • Ventilation system maintains safe gas levels
  • Pressure relief valve releases excess pressure
  • Prevents flame propagation and structural damage

Fire Suppression System

  • Factory-fitted aerosol units (AS 4487 / UL 2775)
  • UL-certified sprinkler system with external connection
  • SIGMA XT or Honeywell control panel with alarm sequencing
  • Optional AI thermal camera and hydrogen detection

Detection and Alarm

  • Smoke and heat detectors to AS 7240 standards
  • Visual and audible alarms per AS ISO 7240.23
  • Pre-discharge delay, isolation switch, and warning indicators

Ventilation and Gas Control

  • Explosion-proof intake and exhaust fans (UL962 / CSA C22.2)
  • Automatic hydrogen detection (UL1203)
  • Emergency override and redundant circuits

System Operation

  1. Smoke or heat detection triggers a primary alarm.
  2. Dual detection or manual release initiates a 30-second delay.
  3. Aerosol suppression activates automatically if not isolated.
  4. Manual override halts the sequence.
  5. Hydrogen detection starts automatic ventilation.

Customised to Your Project

Each container is built to suit your electrical setup, battery chemistry, and site requirements.
Options include:

  • Single or multi-bay enclosures
  • 10–40 ft modular layouts
  • HVAC and thermal management
  • Integrated BMS/SCADA interfaces
  • Remote monitoring via Modbus or TCP/IP
