Sainsburys Supermarket

Over 100 Sainsbury’s stores and their customers benefit from the facilities provided by a Baldwin Boxall voice alarm system, including:

• Crayford – the largest Sainsbury’s store in the UK
• Darnley – the largest Sainsbury’s store in Scotland
• Newport – the largest Sainsbury’s store in Wales

THE CRAYFORD PROJECT:

• Three zone VIGIL voice evacuation system
• BVRD2M routeing control
• Two BDM404 – paging microphones fitted with flip top ‘fire
  alarm test’ buttons
• Remote volume controls
• Independent built-in pre-announcement sounder
• Rack mount single zone fire microphone
• Background music inputs
• Wall mounting rack enclosure
• Fully monitored and battery backed

The extension to the Sainsbury’s store in Crayford means that it is now two and a half times bigger than its original size. The 100,000 sq ft store now includes a home and lifestyle section and features the largest range of home entertainment in a Sainsbury’s store.

Baldwin Boxall is proud to have provided many Sainsbury’s stores with a quality voice evacuation system. The system provides the store manager with benefits such as: independent paging – enabling live announcements, a background music facility and advertisement injection ability.

All general announcements are automatically overridden by priority messages and announcements during an emergency, such as a fire.

R&M Clarkson has installed the VIGIL voice alarm system in around 100 Sainsbury’s stores over a period of fifteen years. Managing Director, Ritchie Gatt, commented “We have a strong working relationship with all at Baldwin Boxall. The systems installed in Sainsbury’s stores have evolved over the years. By liaising closely with Baldwin Boxall we have developed a specific design that meets the requirements of each Sainsbury’s store.”
