Acoustic public warning system for SEVESO risk for the Basque Government

An end-to-end approach that ensures a rapid, effective response to SEVESO risk situations at the Basque Country's petrochemical complexes.

We developed the SEVESO acoustic warning system together with the Basque Government.

We installed 54 sirens with sensor networks to cover the PPI and POI perimeters in the petrochemical risk areas of Lantarón (Álava), the Port of Bilbao, Muskiz, Alonsotegi (Biscay) and Hernani (Gipuzkoa).

The installation includes 4 control centres in “112/S.O.S.” buildings, 1 remote maintenance centre and 5 local activators on each affected industrial estate.

Communication is via PMR radio and GPRS/3G. The system runs on Lafcarr's COMSIR SCADA software for remote control.

This end-to-end approach ensures a rapid, effective response to SEVESO risk situations at the Basque Country's petrochemical complexes.
