With over 30 years of fire protection expertise, Profire (Aust) Pty Ltd ensures critical fire alarm and essential safety systems are delivered reliably, compliantly, and with seamless integration, even on tightly constrained inner-city sites like Bennetts Lane.

Operating since 2011 under the Profire banner (formerly Firelec), the company specialises in the full lifecycle of fire and electrical services, from design and installation through to long-term servicing and emergency response.

The Bennetts Lane project demanded precision, compliance and reliability at every stage. “Fire systems are not an area where you can take shortcuts. Everything must integrate seamlessly with the building and perform exactly as intended when it matters most,” explained Dean Borg, Director of Profire. “Our focus is always on delivering systems that are robust, compliant and easy to maintain long after handover.”

For Bennetts Lane, Profire delivered the installation of dry fire alarm systems, emergency warning and intercommunication systems (EWIS), and associated detection infrastructure, all co-ordinated alongside the broader construction programme. The company’s qualifications span electrical contracting, cabling, building practitioner licensing and Fire Protection Association (FPA) membership, underpinned by extensive insurance coverage and 24/7 emergency service capability .

Dean believes performance on site is measured not only by technical delivery, but by reliability. “Meeting programme and compliance without disruption to the builder is just as important as the systems themselves,” he says. “At Bennetts Lane, the team delivered on time, without delays, and with no negative feedback from the client, that’s something we’re proud of.”

With an extensive project history across residential towers, commercial precincts, education facilities and retail environments, Profire continues to build its reputation as a trusted fire protection specialist. At Bennetts Lane, the company’s disciplined delivery and deep technical capability ensured the development’s life-safety systems were installed to the highest standard.

M-Fire delivered a fully integrated, compliant, and architecturally sensitive fire protection system at the Gosford Central, combining technical expertise, seamless coordination, and reliable commissioning to safeguard people, assets, and operations across a high-use, multi-functional education environment.

M-Fire’s scope included the supply and installation of a Vigilant MX1 Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS) and a Vigilant QE90 Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System (EWIS).

“We also integrated the systems with smoke exhaust fans, louvres, security, BMS and AV trips, and even boom gate controls,” explained Managing Director, Michael Matthews. “All interfaces were successfully achieved through close co-ordination with other trades both in the office and on site.”

The project presented several technical challenges, particularly when working around decorative compressed timber ceilings. “We had to design and fabricate custom brackets to lower equipment in some areas to maintain compliance,” said Michael. “It was about finding practical solutions that complemented the architectural vision.”

Further complexity came from networking the system back to the main Newcastle campus for remote monitoring. “That required collaboration with the University’s network and fire infrastructure teams, all relationships we’ve built over many years.”

M-Fire’s commitment to quality and safety guided every stage of delivery. “Our experienced lead hand was pivotal to achieving the high standard of workmanship expected. Even with supply delays on the custom-built fire and EWIS panels, our team worked tirelessly to install, program, and commission everything within two weeks of delivery.”

“We take pride in delivering high-level, complex systems that protect people and assets. The Central Coast Campus is a project we’re honoured to have helped make safer for generations of students to come,” reflected Michael.
