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.
Our Approach
Whitty Group was involved from the design stage of the fitout, working closely with project partners to deliver tailored solutions. We installed a certified fire detection system to meet compliance requirements, along with a security alarm, CCTV coverage, and access control systems. In addition, a wireless panic attack alarm was deployed, providing staff with discreet and immediate protection in the event of an emergency.
The Result
The clinic now operates with a full suite of integrated safety and security systems, providing reassurance for both staff and service users. Whitty Group continues to support the facility through regular servicing, health checks, and certification, ensuring 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 recently 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 and historic craftsmanship.
Our Approach
Whitty Group was entrusted with the sensitive task of installing a modern fire detection system throughout the castle. Our engineers worked closely with the refurbishment team to integrate state-of-the-art fire safety technology while preserving 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.
The Result
The completed system provides comprehensive fire safety across the castle while remaining sympathetic to its period design. Our work ensures the client has peace of mind that this remarkable heritage property is protected to the highest standard without detracting from its historic character. Whitty Group continues to maintain and monitor the system, delivering regular checks and responsive support to keep Knockdrin Castle safe for future generations.
Amber Springs Hotel – Wexford
