OUR MASS ALERT SYSTEMS FOR POPULATIONS
ALERT SYSTEM FOR WATER DAMS
A dam warning system is important because it helps protect downstream populations from catastrophic flooding caused by failing dams. It also helps reduce loss of life and property and minimizes disaster recovery costs.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ALERT SYSTEM
Dams and other hydraulic structures are essential for flood management, water supply and irrigation, among other things. Although they are built to high standards, there is always a risk of failure due to natural events or human actions. This can endanger people, property and the environment in flood zones.
A modern monitoring, warning and information system for the areas surrounding dams is a reliable solution in the event of an unforeseen event.
THE RIGHT SOLUTION
Early warning devices for dams and other hydraulic infrastructures are integrated monitoring, alerting and warning systems that typically include between 5 and 30 sirens. These sirens are equipped with Vektra® software (SCADA, alerting and warning) for different systems:
The monitoring system allows the danger of dam rupture or deterioration to be monitored.
The alert system covers with its alert signal an area that water will flood within 1 hour from the dam rupture.
The warning system informs the relevant persons by voice or text message about the occurrence of the extraordinary situation.
THE COMPONENTS OF THIS ALERT SYSTEM
MONITORING SYSTEM ON DAMS
signals the deterioration of the dam sufficiently early and uses three types of cells to improve reliability and avoid the occurrence of false alarms.
COMMAND CENTER
automatically activates the alert and warning once the critical values in the monitoring system are exceeded, it also guarantees high security thanks to the one hundred percent backup of the entire technology
PAVIAN ELECTRONIC SIRENS
These sirens produce high sound pressure at a long distance, have good comprehensibility in reproducing live voice, have high reliability.
COMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE
ensures communication between the command center and other elements of the warning system,
COMPETENT PERSONS INFORMED
The competent persons are informed about the occurrence of the extraordinary situation by telephone and called to the workstations.
