Bull Products’ Cygnus wireless fire alarm system has been specified and installed so far on seven Crossrail projects in London and several miles of track. The installations include bespoke solutions such as emergency exit signal systems mostly operating underground.
Developed and designed specifically for use on construction sites, the Cygnus wireless fire alarm system is ideal for the Crossrail project as it has the most effective radio of any wireless fire alarm system.
The new Elizabeth line, which will emerge from the Crossrail project, unlocks its doors in 2018 to central London and from the end of 2019 will run from Heathrow through the new tunnels, providing a direct link to central London destinations including Bond Street, Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf.
The Cygnus system is able to link no less than 480 alarm devices in 15 zones. The CE marked system is used in conjunction with a selection of units including fire alarms, smoke detectors, heat detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, first aid call points and combined call point and first aid alerts.
On the Crossrail project, the Cygnus system is operating at stations, access shafts and ventilation shafts across many of the key stations on the line.
