Public warning system for chemical risks

Public warning system for chemical risks

Since 2018, IES has been supplying, through its client, Prointega, about thirty sirens and several control centres from its exclusive brand, Hörmann, to ten private companies in the industrial area of Seveso.

The powerful Hörmann sirens can be heard across several miles and are used to strengthen public warning systems and immediately alert people in the event of a serious accident that may affect people outside an industrial plant.

There have been several drills with these sirens (the latest, in February 2022 in the Fertiberia plant), which gained media attention. These drills were run to familiarise people with these alarms and teach them what to do in an emergency.

Requirements:

Powerful sirens that can be heard across several miles to strengthen public warning systems and immediately alert people in the event of a serious accident that may affect people outside an industrial plant.

Solutions:

ECN-D sirens of up to 3,000W and a performance of up to 152.5 dBA at 1 metre, highly efficient D-class digital amplification, up to 7-day battery range and active at full power for up to 30 minutes, highly resistant and lasting aluminium diffusers, full MCE communication controller installed in different control rooms, GPRS, RADIO and LAN redundant communications, local and remote alert and activation, mobile control panel for cars, PC with CCCS software and RCS console, etc.

Result:

IES, as industry experts, provided Prointega with full technical-sales guidance before and after the sale and supplied all the documents required, such as acoustic range studies, certificates and quotation, to help design the best solution.
