Centurion designs and maintains industrial security systems across manufacturing plants, warehouses and engineering sites. NSI Gold accredited across all four disciplines.
About this sector
Manufacturing and engineering sites present fire and security conditions that standard commercial systems are not designed to handle. Production processes generate heat, dust and chemical vapours that can mask or trigger conventional detectors. Site access must span multiple shifts while restricting entry to production zones, plant rooms and high-value stores.
Centurion has designed, installed and maintained fire and industrial security systems across manufacturing plants, engineering workshops and distribution facilities in Yorkshire and nationally. We understand the compliance obligations specific to production environments - from BS 5839-1 fire detection to ATEX-rated installation in hazardous areas. Our engineers distinguish between light manufacturing and heavy industrial sites when specifying systems.
All installation and maintenance work is planned around production schedules, with cabling and commissioning scheduled in planned shutdowns or out-of-hours windows where continuous operation is required. Engineers carry out a detailed site survey before specification to identify hazardous zones, shift patterns and insurer requirements that must be built into the design.
Standards & Compliance
Every system we design is built to meet the statutory guidance, British Standards and sector-specific requirements your site is accountable to.
BS 5839-1
Fire detection in manufacturing and engineering environments.
ATEX
Fire and electrical safety where flammable dusts, vapours or gases are present.
HSWA 1974
Statutory employer obligations for fire safety on production sites.
BS EN 62676
Perimeter, production floor and asset protection coverage.
ISO 9001:2015
Independently verified quality management system.
NSI Gold
Highest tier of independent security certification.
What we provide
Every system is designed around your site's compliance requirements, operational constraints and risk profile - not a generic specification.
Centurion designs and installs BS 5839-1 compliant fire detection for production floors, warehouse storage and engineering facilities. Includes aspirating systems, beam detectors and multi-sensor devices for environments where conventional detection fails.
LEARN MORE →Industrial CCTV from Centurion covers production floors, perimeters, loading bays and high-value stores. IP and 4K camera systems with remote monitoring, planned to BS EN 62676 and matched to your site's risk profile.
LEARN MORE →Centurion installs access control across manufacturing sites to manage shift-pattern entry, restrict production zones and protect plant rooms. Paxton NET2 systems with audit trails and visitor management built in.
LEARN MORE →Centurion installs monitored intruder alarm systems to BS 8243 across manufacturing and engineering premises. Graded systems matched to site risk and insurer specification, with 24-hour monitoring available.
LEARN MORE →Why this sector is different
Processes and machinery require specialist detection - aspirating systems, beam detection, multi-sensor devices.
Flammable dusts, vapours or gases need ATEX-rated detection and certified installation engineers.
Maintenance planned around production shifts - sites rarely fully offline.
Raw materials, finished goods and equipment need CCTV and access control matched to risk.
Insurers specify fire protection standards - systems must support fire risk assessment and audit.
