Fire and protection services
for factories and warehouses
Factories and warehouses are environments where fire safety is essential for a variety of reasons. Ensuring the protection of life safeguards employees, contractors, and visitors, while asset protection helps minimise the loss of goods, machinery, and infrastructure. Effective fire safety measures also support business continuity, reducing downtime and financial losses in the event of a fire.
Given the scale and complexity of factories and warehouses, proactive fire safety systems are vital to effectively mitigate these risks.

Common fire risks in
factories and warehouses
Warehousing and manufacturing environments present unique challenges:
Large and complex layouts: Extensive areas make smoke and heat detection challenging. Proper system design is vital.
High fire loads: Flammable goods, packaging, chemicals, and fuels increase fire intensity.
Combustible materials: Pallets, cardboard, and plastics contribute to rapid fire spread.
Equipment and machinery risks: Hot works, electrical faults, and poorly maintained machinery can ignite fires.
Human factors: Lack of training, improper storage, or blocked exits heighten risk.
Environmental and product-specific hazards: Explosive dust, pressurised gases, aerosols, paints, or food oils can lead to flash fires.
Personalised fire protection services
for factories and warehouses
No two factories or warehouses are the same. Fire Tech designs custom fire protection systems based on site-specific risks identified during fire risk assessments:
Manual systems with call points for smaller warehouses.
High-level VESDA systems for early detection in high-risk areas.
Systems tailored to meet insurer requirements and the specific layout or operations of the premises.
Additional security services
Fire Tech Systems provides
CCTV installation for factories and warehouses
This is to monitor critical areas, deter theft, and record evidence. Remote monitoring ensures management can access live feeds from anywhere.
Access control systems for factories and warehouses
Our access control solutions allow you to grant or restrict entry for specific personnel, implement time-based access, and manage credentials efficiently, ensuring only authorised staff can enter designated zones.
Door entry systems and intercoms
We install video intercom and door entry systems that enable verification before granting access, enhancing security while maintaining smooth operational flow. Remote unlocking can be used for deliveries or visitors, with instant re-locking once access is completed.
Intruder Alarm System for factories and warehouses
Our intruder alarms cover critical points, including fire exits, roller shutters, and general floor areas. Any suspicious activity triggers immediate alerts to alarm receiving centres (ARCs) or keyholders.
Integrated systems for factories and warehouses
For large or complex facilities, fire and security systems can be fully integrated, allowing alerts from CCTV, access control, intruder alarms, and fire detection to be coordinated in real time.
Maintenance and
servicing support
Due to complex layouts and systems, ongoing maintenance is critical:
Quarterly inspections ensure all areas are tested and compliant.
Coordination with the responsible person to adapt to building or structural changes.
Multi-discipline checks - fire alarms, security, emergency lighting.
Emergency call-outs and remote diagnostics - ensure rapid response to any issues.
Proactive servicing ensures continuous protection, reduces false alarms, and maintains safe operations.
