The Westgate Oxford shopping centre, completed in October 2017, has restaurants, cafés and a cinema. During a two-year project, the fire protection equipment manufacturer Bull Products supplied 400 of its Cygnus alarm systems which were fitted across 125 stores. A wireless product for emergency fire, first aid, and intruder alarms for construction sites, the Cygnus radio system, made by Bull, has already been used on some of the largest construction projects across the UK including Waterloo Station, Canary Wharf, and Battersea Power Station.
The product company says that it has been designed for specific use on construction sites with changing site conditions.
Matthew Trigwell, sales director at Bull Products, says: “We were delighted to be a part of this project and it is hugely rewarding to see that our alarm system has protected the site and workers up until completion. One of the requirements for this project was to protect each individual store without the alarm sounding across the whole building – this is a key factor of our Cygnus system as site managers can clearly identify and locate where the alarm is going off through our main control panel, thus providing a reliable, cost-effective and adaptable solution.”
