We developed a chemical risk emergency siren system in line with the SEVESO Directive, deployed in critical industrial areas of the provinces of A Coruña and Pontevedra. The project is part of Civil Protection's action plans to keep people safe from possible industrial accidents involving hazardous substances.

The system includes 8 high-power omnidirectional electronic sirens, with optimised coverage of both the immediate intervention perimeter (PPI) and the operational intervention perimeter (POI). The sirens are connected via redundant GSM/GPRS and PMR radio channels, ensuring high system availability even in adverse conditions.

4 local control centres have been set up in A Coruña and Pontevedra, backed by a main alert management centre at 112 in Santiago de Compostela, from where the system can be supervised and activated centrally.

Operation and supervision use the COMSIR SCADA software, built for web-based remote management, allowing the system to be controlled remotely with minimal response times for a fast, coordinated response.

As well as complying with the European SEVESO III regulations, the system offers a scalable, replicable solution for other at-risk industrial areas, positioning Galicia as a benchmark in industrial safety and chemical emergency management.
