Globalsist deploys security and fire protection systems in the Valls tunnel

Around one hundred IP cameras that provide comprehensive coverage throughout this tunnel in Catalonia, together with a radio communication and public address system, and fire protection by GlobalSist make up the comprehensive security infrastructure.

Operational at the end of this month after four years of work, he Valls-Montblanc section, on the A-27 highway that connects Tarragona with Lleida, consists of two tubes of 1,5 Km. length, connected by six strategically located galleries, five of which are pedestrian and one designed for emergency vehicle passage.

The security infrastructure consists of about one hundred IP surveillance cameras that provide comprehensive coverage throughout the tunnel and ensure continuous safety, regardless of lighting conditions.

Besides, and radio communication and public address system, with approximately 150 strategically located speakers, allows the broadcast of preventive messages and guidelines to optimize the response to possible incidents.

GlobalSist has assumed a fundamental role in the implementation of solutions for security and protection systems against incendios, hence the detection area, that encompasses more than 3.000 meters of sensor cable, and the extinguishing system through hydrants and pressure groups, ensure an effective response to any eventuality.

The tunnel also has an advanced control installation which plays a fundamental role in the safety and efficient operation of this critical infrastructure. In these annex buildings, the following is carried out monitorización de las imágenes de CCTV, las centrales de incendio y otros equipos de seguridad, así como otros elementos instalados.

This enfoque integral en la vigilancia y gestión de todos estos componentes garantiza un entorno seguro y altamente controlado para el óptimo funcionamiento del túnel y su entorno, según el proyecto ejecutado por Acciona and the Ministerio de Fomento.
