Lafcarr Project & Design carried out the implementation of an acoustic warning system for flood risk situations at the Albagés dam, in the province of Lleida.

The project included 4 electronic sirens covering the entire affected area, plus an advanced video surveillance system with cameras strategically placed at access points and critical areas such as outlets and gates. An automated structural monitoring system and a complete perimeter security solution were also integrated.

As part of the emergency plan, a flow gauging station connected to the SCADA systems was added, together with a point-to-point communications link between the dam and the head office in Tàrrega.

Data and alerts are transmitted via PMR radio, GPRS/3G, optical fibre and radio links, ensuring an effective response and continuous operation even in adverse conditions.
