A NORTH-EAST company has been selected by Network Rail to supply audio equipment for a major rail project in St Pancras, London.
Sunderland-based Current Thinking will supply fire telephones – for use in emergencies – and induction loop systems for the deaf.
Many rail stations on the East Coast Main Line are already equipped with fire telephones and induction loop systems produced by Current Thinking. Such is the firm’s relationship with Network Rail that its systems no longer need specific approval from the company before being considered for future schemes.
Managing director Tony Smith said: “This provides assurance to contractors and installers that our equipment meets the very demanding standards required.”
Current Thinking’s safety and audio products are also in use at the Wimbledon tennis complex, the Tate Britain Art Gallery, in London, and many of the biggest construction projects in Dubai, including the Jumeria Tunnel, linking the mainland to the world’s three largest artificial islands.
