Refuge Areas for London University
One of the key benefits of CommuniCare Advance is that it is linked to the building's fire panel and, therefore, remains "dormant" whilst not required - avoiding misuse by a buildings occupiers - in this case some 20,000 students!
Designed as a two-way communication system for use in an emergency to aid evacuation of the physically impaired, CommuniCare Advance is feature-rich. Braille script, raised and luminescent text with an in-built induction loop on each remote unit, the system is wired on a loop as opposed to "star wired", a considerable saving in wiring costs. The intelligence of the system ensures that if the circuit were to be broken at any point in the loop, the system will still operate without the lost of communication, i.e. it is self-healing.
Commenting on the installation, Colin Smith, Regional Sales Manager for Trinity's Thames office, said "CommuniCare Advance is a revolutionary product that was the ideal solution for London South Bank University. The bespoke system comprising fourteen control panels and over 200 refuge points was installed in three months and clearly demonstrates Baldwin Boxall's and Trinity's strong commitment to getting a project in on time and doing it right."
