Cygnus offers maximum protection to Battersea Power Station
22 Mar 2019
Bull Products, a manufacturer
of life-saving fire protection equipment, has received the largest order to
date for its Cygnus
Wireless Alarm System.
A total of 480 alarm units have been
installed at London’s major landmark, Battersea Power Station, protecting 3,000
workers on site. This is the highest number of units to be installed on a
project since the inception of its alarm system.
Due for completion in 2020, the iconic
Grade II listed building and surrounding area is being brought back to life as
one of the most exciting and innovative mixed-use neighbourhoods in the world –
a place for locals, tourists and residents to enjoy a unique blend of
restaurants, shops, parks and cultural spaces.
Darren O’Brien, Security and Fire Systems Manager for Woodlands Site Services, which is working for Skanska UK on the project, says: “We have been really pleased with the adaptability of the Cygnus alarm system which has continually protected the site and workers around the clock.
“As the project develops, the Cygnus alarm system will grow with it, offering enhanced safety and heightened protection to protect all eight phases of the project.”
Intended for use on construction sites, the Cygnus Wireless Alarm System has been specifically designed for use in dense concrete and steel structured buildings and areas where there are many other radio frequencies in operation, therefore particular attention has been given to achieving an impressive connection range.
Where there are multiple sites within range of each other, the Cygnus system has been designed to operate on different site addresses in order to keep each system separate and free from interference.
