Pipe Thickness Testing
Prevent Leaks. Protect Your Property. Stay Compliant.
Why you need Walker Fire Protection to test pipe thickness
Protect your sprinkler system pipes against corrosion, bacterial activity and mineral buildup deterioration that can restrict water flow and may not show up in standard annual flow tests.
How we safeguard your pipes
We measure your pipe wall thickness in real time using accurate ultrasonic thickness testing (UTT) to:
• Detect corrosion & wall loss
• Identify hidden blockages from mineral deposits
• Target areas most prone to damage.
Avoid or minimise your risk of:
Costly water leaks
Compliance issues
Unplanned building interruptions
Time-consuming insurance claims.
Expert reporting
• Exact locations tested
• Thickness compared to manufacturers’ standards
• High-risk pipe sections for concern
• Pipe sections requiring replacement.
Add our pipe thickness testing to your fit-out guidelines for early issue detection — to save you time and money.
Dropmaster
Streamline sprinkler head replacement for greater productivity & cost savings
Why you need to replace damaged, defective or aged sprinkler heads
Even the most reliable sprinkler heads require replacement. This can be both labour intensive and costly. The right replacement method will help you:
• Avoid disruption to safe operation
• Keep the people who work in or visit your building safe
• Protect your building owner’s investment
• Ensure that your sprinkler heads meet Australian Standards.
How does Dropmaster work?
The Dropmaster solution by Walker Fire Protection:
• Connects to any point on your building’s sprinkler system
• Maintains a constant 10”Hg vacuum
• Uses a patented siphoning system that removes trapped water when you remove a sprinkler head
• Protects your property from spills or water damage.
