Bull Products protects iconic Manchester Town Hall during refurbishment project
Bull Products , a manufacturer of life-saving fire protection equipment , has installed its Cygnus 1 Wireless Alarm System to protect the scaffolding and renovations at Manchester Town Hall . The Grade 1 , listed , heritage building is currently undergoing a four-year refurbishment project .
Built in 1877 , the neo gothic town hall sits in the heart of Manchester city centre . A much loved and significant landmark , the town hall has been used for many purposes over the years including council business and events . The refurbishment began to ensure this heritage building was fit for purpose in the 21st Century .
Due to its city centre location , scaffolding made the town hall an easy target for intruders , and contractor WysePower required an alarm system that would provide peace of mind and protection during the works and out of hours . The Cygnus Wireless Alarm System incorporates Scaff Alarm – a unique intruder detection system designed to deter attempted break-ins or access to higher levels of scaffolding .

The Cygnus Wireless Alarm System connects up to 31 PIR detection devices each with a 110-decibel sounder , beacon alarm , and these are linked on a fully wireless mesh that communicates back to a control panel . An auto dialler alerts the site ’ s security guard to any intruders overnight whilst during the day it provides protection , raising the alarm and alerting site workers to any fires inside the building .
131 Cygnus Wireless Alarm Systems have so far been installed across the site . An additional 76 are due to be installed in the Town Hall ’ s temporary roof covering whilst repair works are carried out on the original roof , providing a complete external fire and intruder alarm system on site .
