Furniture for CCTV hub

by Mark Rowe

Technical furniture manufacturer Thinking Space Systems has fitted custom-designed control room furniture for the new CCTV hub, pictured, at Blackburn with Darwen Council.

Housing four operators and two supervisors, the cool blues and greys for the interior for the room were matched by Thinking Space with their ergonomic furniture, to create a calm and peaceful environment for this 24-7 monitoring station. An 11 metre spanning Evolution media wall was made and installed by Thinking Space. Alignment was key in ensuring the correct sight lines for operators and an aesthetically pleasing finish for the 33 large flat screens, mounted in a configuration of three rows of eleven. Thinking Space used laser positioning to achieve an accurate solution.

The hub was officially opened in March 2017 with Thinking Space invited to the proceedings. Based in King George’s Hall, Blackburn, the new control room monitors over 240 cameras across East Lancashire. Opening the new facility, which had been in operation since the previous month, Assistant Chief Constable Mark Bates and Council leader Mohammed Khan from Blackburn with Darwin Council led the proceedings, hailing the complete project as a resounding success.

Peter Wareing, CCTV Services Manager for Blackburn with Darwen Council, said: “Thinking Space worked closely with both myself and our CCTV installers from day one, providing me with 2D and 3D images of the finished product, allowing me to better convince partners of the finished article. As the project progressed, Thinking Space were in regular contact with me to ensure that I was receiving exactly what I needed. The build and install went smoothly, something a project manager looks forward to! The finished article really looks the part and provided that wow factor, with sight lines all taken account of and operators able to provide an excellent service in comfort.”

Thinking Space are giving furniture demonstrations at stand H1125, at IFSEC International in London from June 20 to 22.
