Intercom for the Oil and Gas Industry
Safe & Secure in Extreme Environments
Made-to-measure solutions fulfill the requirements imposed on security and communication solutions for the oil and gas industry, that are as extreme as the environmental conditions under which they are expected to function.
Onshore & Offshore Production
Upstream
Drilling & extraction, hydraulic fracturing, oil sands, drilling rigs, jackup rigs, drilling barges, and production platforms
Transportation & Storage
Midstream
Pipelines, pump-, compressor-, metering-, control-stations, tanks, terminals and underground storage reservoirs
Processing
Downstream
Refineries, petrochemical plants, gas processing plants and gas-to-liquids plants (GTL & LNG), oil & gas derivative product distribution, aircraft fuelling providers, and other gas stations
Physical Security
Restricting access to specific areas of refineries, rigs etc. to authorised personnel protects employees, assets and company information. Various industrial equipment can be monitored and controlled automatically, events logged and audio/video recorded. With secure development even IT security is ensured.
Life Safety
In the extreme environments of the oil and gas industry, effective warning systems, alarms and efficient emergency evacuation support according to the emergency response plan are essential for the safety of personnel and corporate assets.
The industry is heavily regulated and involves working in hazardous environments with potentially life-threatening risks. Therefore, in compliance with legal and corporate regulations built-in early warning of emerging system problems is provided.
Instant Communication
In the oil and gas industry, it is essential to provide an efficient and reliable way for employees to communicate with each other, whether they are in different areas or hazardous environments like oil rigs where traditional communication methods such as telephones or radios are not effective or prohibited.
Tight schedules require coordination between different teams, contractors, and suppliers. Inefficient communication can lead to delays, errors, and miscommunications, which can result in increased costs. By improving communication, companies can reduce waste, avoid rework, and optimize their operations.
Applications for the Oil and Gas Industry
Communicating & Warning
Communication in Explosive Zones
Intercom systems certified in accordance with ATEX, IEC Ex, CCC Ex, explosion hazard group IIC and temperature T6 withstand extreme conditions (heat/cold, water, chemicals, dust and dirt – as per IP 66).
Securing & Warning
Emergency & Evacuation
Trusted emergency and evacuation systems with two-way communication guarantee fast incident reaction and ensure that your workers are safe in any situation. Help and meeting points make it easy for your staff to contact the control center and stay connected. Dynamic escape route guidance ensures a safe route for your workers to the muster/assembly point.
Communicating & Warning
Operational Communication in Rough Environments
Communication is a crucial success factor in your industry when it comes to coordinating people in the production process, service, support or maintenance. This requires systems that are resistant to chemicals, harsh climates (heat/cold), water, dust and dirt. With just the push of a button, an instant, secure, fast and clear audio connection is established. This allows you to help or act as quickly as possible, increase efficiency, minimise downtime, optimise critical work processes, increase productivity and improve your service level.
Communicating & Warning
Public Address
Fast and effective communication is important to keep a large group of people informed. Emergency alerts, safety instructions, event announcements, public service announcements and other types of messages can be delivered in high volume and voice quality to staff on site.
Securing
Perimeter Protection
Prevent strangers from entering your premises with perimeter protection, public address and seamless integration with video surveillance systems. This perfect team ensures that your premises are protected from any external threat, such as physical attack or theft. Intruders are tackled directly from the Control Room without the need for security staff.
Crane Communication
Efficient, hands-free communication with the workforce is provided by either Intercom and/or mobile radio integration.
Access Control for Doors & Barriers
Controlled access for your employees and service providers (vehicular and pedestrian) at all entrances to your premises is guaranteed.
Control Desk Management
A centralised management system provides a clear overview of several areas and locations of your facilities as well as your employees' whereabouts. It also facilitates the support and coordination of service and maintenance teams.
