Comprehensive Warning System for Quarries and Mines

Electronic siren Pavian as part of a comprehensive warning system for quarries and mines

A Reliable Warning System as a Pillar of Safety in Surface Mines

Working in large surface mines, which often include tailings ponds or dams, is an extremely high-risk activity. Hazards such as dam collapses, environmental disasters, planned detonations, and sudden landslides can pose a serious threat to both workers and nearby residents.

A reliable warning system is a key tool for ensuring safety in such areas. Electronic sirens can cover the entire mine site, tailings pond, and surrounding areas, with their penetrating sound overpowering even the extreme noise of heavy machinery. In addition to acoustic signals, they also provide voice announcements and visual warnings, such as flashing lights and signal boards, ensuring clear and understandable communication in crisis situations.

In case of threats such as a dam failure or landslide, the system enables immediate evacuation, protecting the lives of nearby residents. Integration with detection systems allows for a rapid response to unforeseen events, minimizing potential damage.

Pavian Car

The Pavian Car is a compact mobile siren that provides flexible and rapid warning. Mounted on a vehicle, it enables operational coverage of remote or hard-to-reach areas. It is independent of external power sources and, thanks to easy installation and operation, effectively complements stationary sirens.

 

Portable Pavian Portable Siren

The Pavian Portable siren provides flexibility in acoustic warnings, as it can be positioned anywhere within the mine depending on current needs. Despite its compact size, it delivers high performance and supports multiple power supply options.

 

PA system Amadeo

An indoor public address system installed in quarry buildings. This system allows for broadcasting voice alerts inside mine facilities, effectively complementing acoustic and visual signals.

 

Pavian Electronic Sirens

Pavian sirens automatically transmit warning signals based on critical sensor values, covering entire endangered areas, including mine sites and surrounding communities. They ensure rapid warning in case of danger and feature high intelligibility for evacuation, population coordination, and rescue operations. They operate independently of commercial infrastructure and can be powered by solar panels.

 

Notified Competent Person

Competent persons are informed via phone calls or SMS messages about emergency situations and are summoned to workstations for emergency response and rescue operations.

06

 

Communication Infrastructure

The communication infrastructure ensures instant communication between the control center and other components of the monitoring, warning, and notification system via digital or analog radio, TCP/IP, GPRS, or short-distance wireless connections. It also allows integration with third-party systems.

07

 

Warning and Notification Control Center

The control center, equipped with the OCP16 control panel or Vektra® software, collects, analyzes, and evaluates sensor and monitoring station data, with backup technology ensuring a high level of security. The system allows for the configuration of different situational scenarios based on threat developments. It can notify competent personnel at the first signs of a potential flood situation, send preventive warnings to residents via sirens in endangered areas, or automatically activate the warning sys

08

 

EMA Monitoring Station and Sensors

The EMA monitoring station collects data from sensors and transmits it to the warning control center, mobile phones, or directly activates electronic sirens, PA systems, or visual signaling devices. It helps prevent or respond proactively to risks such as landslides, poor air quality, fires, seismic activity, or dam failures.
