Hurtwood has upgraded the Satchwell Sigma Building Management Systems (BMS) across several buildings in the Bristol City Council (BCC) estate. Plantrooms were often cramped with little room for replacement panels in these historic buildings thus requiring a retrofitting project. Hurtwood’s innovative upgrade solution for the Satchwell BAS & Sigma BMS mitigated these issues and resulted in a rapid upgrade.
Bristol Museum and Art Gallery & City Hall
Bristol Museum and Art Gallery (BMAG) was built in 2 stages in 1904 and 1930. BMAG had issues with the control of its Temporary Exhibition Gallery within which it hosted loaned artworks. These issues dated back to a plant replacement and errors in the original Satchwell Sigma BMS.

City Hall, Bristol
Hurtwood worked as part of a large refurbishment project commissioned by Bristol City Council for its workplaces to provide new BMS equipment and the building optimisation consultancy for City Hall, a grade 2 listed building from the 1950s. The work included improved environmental control of the historic conference hall and council chamber where we re-used existing Satchwell sensors to avoid having to work on the historic décor.
Our Satrofit boards were used to refurbish several BMS panels and to maintain consistency, brand new Satchwell racks were provided for new panels for an entirely new plantroom. As well as a considerable reduction in effort and cost to refurbish the BMS, the overall result was far neater than a replacement with the limited and flexible modules provided by many of the other manufacturers.
