Our Case Studies
HSE
The Challenge
The HSE commissioned a purpose-built addiction services clinic to provide safe, supportive care in a highly regulated environment. As with all healthcare facilities, the project required comprehensive life safety and security systems to protect staff, patients and visitors, while ensuring full compliance with national healthcare and safety standards. The systems needed to be reliable, practical for daily use and suitable for a sensitive clinical setting.
Our Approach
Whitty Group was involved from the design stage of the fit-out, working closely with project partners to deliver an integrated package of fire, security and access solutions. Our team installed and certified a complete fire detection and fire alarm system, along with a security alarm, CCTV coverage, access control and a wireless panic alarm system to support staff safety. Each element was coordinated to meet the demands of the healthcare environment, with attention to compliance, usability and long-term maintenance.
The Result
The clinic now operates with a full suite of integrated safety and security systems, providing reassurance for staff and service users. Whitty Group continues to support the facility through regular servicing, checks and certification, helping ensure all systems remain reliable and compliant. Our involvement has helped the HSE create a secure, professional and supportive environment for the delivery of essential care services.
Knockdrin Castle
The Challenge
Knockdrin Castle, a striking Gothic Revival castle built in the early 19th century, was refurbished to preserve its heritage while adapting it for modern use. The client required a discreet yet effective fire detection system that would safeguard the building and its occupants without compromising the original architecture, period features or historic craftsmanship. The project required careful planning, sensitivity and a strong understanding of fire safety in a heritage setting.
Our Approach
Whitty Group was entrusted with the sensitive task of installing a modern fire detection and fire alarm system throughout the castle. Our engineers worked closely with the refurbishment team to integrate fire safety technology while respecting the unique features of the building. Every stage of the installation was carefully planned to ensure compliance, protection and respect for the historic fabric of the property, with a focus on reliable coverage that would not detract from the building’s character.
The Result
The completed system provides comprehensive fire safety across the castle while remaining sympathetic to its period design. The client has peace of mind that this remarkable heritage property is protected to a high standard without compromising its historic character. Whitty Group continues to maintain and support the system, delivering regular checks and responsive service to help keep Knockdrin Castle safe for future generations.
Amber Springs Hotel, Wexford
The Challenge
When Amber Springs Hotel in Wexford, part of the Redmond Hotel Group, first opened nearly 20 years ago, the client required comprehensive fire and security solutions to support an ambitious family hotel. With 140 bedrooms and extensive facilities, the hotel needed reliable systems that would safeguard guests, staff and operations while also supporting smooth day-to-day management in a busy hospitality environment.
Our Approach
Whitty Group was involved from day one of the original build, designing and installing a fully compliant fire detection and fire alarm system alongside robust CCTV cameras and access control. These systems were tailored to the needs of a busy, family-focused hotel, with coverage across guest areas, back-of-house facilities, service points and key operational spaces. We have since provided ongoing maintenance, servicing and advice to keep the fire, CCTV and access control systems fully operational and compliant.
The Result
Today, Amber Springs Hotel is one of Ireland’s most visited family hotels, trusted by thousands of guests every year. Our long-term partnership has helped ensure that its fire detection, CCTV cameras and access control systems remain dependable, up to date and compliant with national standards. By combining installation, maintenance and expert support, Whitty Group has helped Amber Springs maintain its reputation as a safe and welcoming destination for families across the country.
