Signet: disabled refuge system for one of Chester University's most prestigious buildings. Signet’s disabled refuge system, Sigtel Compact, has been installed at one of Chester University’s most prestigious buildings as part of a £ 800,000 redevelopment.

The state-of-theart disabled refuge system in the newly refurbished Best Building consists of an eight-line stainless-steel flush-mounted master control unit, located in the entrance hall on the ground floor and connected by two-core enhanced fire rated cable to a remote outstation on the first floor of the building.

In the event of an emergency, the system facilitates effective two-way communication between building management and people located in the refuge area to, firstly, assist rescue teams in determining where assistance is required and, secondly, to reassure people help is on the way.
