Design
Wormald’s years of experience have given our fire system design engineers an excellent understanding of the nature of combustion and the way fire behaves. This knowledge allows us to design the location and configuration of sensors and fire suppression systems, so fires are extinguished swiftly and with a minimum of fuss.
Next we design a system to provide effective protection whilst meeting or exceeding relevant standards. We combine traditional and advanced technologies to develop fire protection regimes which deliver a risk/cost balance suitable to your operations. We can often install some of our advanced systems into an older facility. This can lower your protection costs while raising your confidence in your fire safety systems.
BIM and REVIT
Wormald is now also BIM (Building information modelling) enabled allowing us to collaborate with other technical experts to develop advanced fire alarm and fire sprinkler models within REVIT. BIM software drives efficiency across the design lifecycle, from conceptual design, visualisation and analysis to fabrication and construction.

Supply, Installation, and Commission
With access to world leading fire detection and evacuation equipment as well as other industry manufacturers, Wormald can supply and install fire alarm and detection equipment for almost any application. Our team are experts at installing fire suppression systems and our specialised project teams are capable of handling projects of any size. We understand in some cases you cannot interrupt your IT capabilities to install protection systems, and so we have developed ways of working safely around sensitive equipment.
Based on a consultative and personal project plan, our installation teams work to incorporate site-specific procedures, client requirements, health and safety policies, and our corporate quality principles.

Advanced Fire Detection and Suppression Technology
MX™ technology – intelligent fire detection
The MX fire detection system provides very early detection of even slow smoldering fires, while delivering very few false alarms. The multi-function sensors can be configured to detect Carbon Monoxide (CO), smoke and heat, all within a single device. The detected levels are continually fed back to the indicator panel, where the data is analysed by specialised fire detection algorithms. Inbuilt intelligence reduces false alarms and provides a robust and rapid analysis of fire events. As the programming logic is held in the indicator panel, software upgrades are simple and do not require changes to the detectors. The self-testing regime and sensor dirty indicators make the MX system extremely simple to operate and maintain. The system is backward compatible with existing detection systems and can use existing wiring and topology to reduce installation costs.
Inergen® – tough on fires, kind to people
Inergen gas flooding system is one of the most technically advanced fire suppression systems available. Inergen is completely safe to people, with no ill effects on anyone remaining in the protected area when it is released. This is because the Inergen components are naturally occurring atmospheric gases blended in a specific and patented ratio so it is safe for people to be around, with no negative impact on the environment when released. In a fire situation, it is recommended that the area is evacuated to avoid the harmful effects of smoke. Inergen’s fire suppression capabilities are outstanding, quickly suppressing fire by reducing the atmospheric oxygen in a room to a level at which most materials simply will not burn.
Inergen does not fog when released so exit routes are not obscured. As soon as the Inergen cylinders are replaced the facility can continue operating, keeping time lost from a fire incident as low as possible.
Inergen® Systems has the largest footprint in New Zealand and has always been our client’s preferred choice.
