Industrial Fire Alarm Case Study: The Workdry Group

Last Updated: November 2026

Work Dry Case Study - Inside the depot — *Installing a wireless fire alarm system at one of the WorkDry Group’s industrial sites as part of a five-site UK rollout.*

The Importance of Industrial Fire Safety

Warehouses and industrial facilities present some of the highest fire risks within the commercial sector. Electrical installations, machinery, high-bay storage systems, lithium-ion batteries and combustible packaging materials can all contribute to a fire spreading rapidly if appropriate fire detection and protection measures are not in place. In fact, the consequences of an industrial fire can be severe, so as a result, many organisations are investing in industrial fire safety measures and compliant fire alarm systems to help safeguard their operations.

This industrial fire alarm installation case study demonstrates how Surrey Fire & Safety delivered wireless fire alarm systems for The Workdry Group. The project involved the design and installation of Category L2 fire alarm systems at the five the Workdry Group’s locations, including:

Bristol
Conwy

Industrial Fire Alarm System Recommendation, Design and Installation

Following an initial consultation and review of The Workdry Group’s fire safety requirements, Surrey Fire & Safety recommended a BS 5839-1 Category L2 Fire Alarm System for five of their sites. The Category L2 layout provides enhanced life protection by covering escape routes and key high-risk areas.

As The Workdry Group’s properties were leased premises, a wireless solution offered several advantages over a traditional hard-wired installation:

Minimal Disruption: The system could be installed quickly, avoiding the cost, extensive cabling and permanence often associated with conventional fire alarm systems.
Scalability: It provided a flexible scalable solution capable of supporting future site requirements.

As part of the process, The Workdry Group supplied building drawings for each property, this enabled the Surrey Fire & Safety team to produce bespoke fire alarm designs and detailed quotations tailored to the specific layout, occupancy and operational requirements of each site.

Upon quotation approval, installation commenced across the five locations. Work was phased strategically to maintain business continuity and avoid operational downtime.

The complete installation across all five sites was delivered on time. Each industrial unit now benefits from a professionally engineered EMS FireCell wireless addressable fire alarm system delivering full Category L2 coverage, rapid detection and precise point-identification in the event of an alarm. Following the success of this project, Surrey Fire & Safety continues to discuss potential fire safety upgrades across additional Workdry Group locations.
