Man Camps

Man Camps

Set in rural locations, 500 miles from civilization, it’s critical that oil and gas man camps maintain employee safety 24/7, given that there are certain areas onsite—such as labs that deal with toxic fluids and gases—within the man camp which are hazardous and life threatening. Given their location, connectivity must be secured back to the global operations office in the event of a security breach or life-threatening emergency. The onsite maintenance crew must also have the operational tools necessary to support centralized monitoring and control, local and remote diagnostics and intersystem connectivity of the man camp.

Strategic services and innovation products & solutions create perfect places for man camps

Through our various comprehensive offerings, we can help you ensure your man camp - including its employees and assets - is fully protected.

LNG Terminals

LNG Terminals

Personnel safety is a critical issue at a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal. As demand grows for greater natural gas supplies, we will witness more LNG terminals coming online and as a result, an increase in U.S. LNG exports. This would make the U.S. the third-largest LNG exporter in the world by 2020, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. LNG terminals will be challenged to implement more stringent risk-based evaluations regarding design, their location, operations, and health, safety and environment (HSE) impacts.

Strategic services and innovation products & solutions create perfect places for LNG terminals

All my LNG terminal occupants have to be protected. Any uncontrolled release of LNG—which is a highly combustible, cold gas—could result in a fire, explosion or other hazardous situation. It is critical to ensure the proper methods and the right technologies are in place to recognize and prevent gas leaks or fire in its early stages before disaster strikes.

Solutions

It's often difficult to reach and account for people during an unexpected crises. When those seconds matter, an integrated mass notification solution is critical to effective emergency response.

Siemens’ Desigo Mass Notification System (MNS) provides your LNG terminal with centralized command and control to effectively respond to any emergency and get your people to a safe location out of harm’s way. Our “easy button” approach lets you quickly and easily formulate effective responses. Benefit from an MNS that uses a layered, multi-mode approach to reach people, regardless of their current location – inside, outside, at your side; integrates with existing systems to optimize prior and future system investments; and simplifies the alert process.

Siemens SiPass access control system and the Siveillance™ Vantage PSIM solution for command and control can provide the flexibility to secure a wide range of activities at the LNG terminal. It integrates access control, intrusion detection and video surveillance into a single system and can ensure the LNG terminal meets TWIC requirements. Integrating SiPass with Vantage PSIM can also streamline processes, increase efficiency and establish greater accountability among LNG terminal visitors and workers.

Products

Siemens’ Advanced Signal Analysis (ASA) detection can quickly and reliably detect smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide. We are so confident of our intelligent, multi-criteria detector technology that we guarantee its accuracy by covering any fines associated with a false alarm at your site that is triggered by an ASA technology detector (certain factors should apply). Nine selectable parameter sets makes the detectors immune to deceptive phenomena, which in turn prevents unnecessary downtimes and costs caused by false alarms.

Oil Refinery

Oil Refinery

A part of the downstream cycle of the petroleum industry, oil refineries are typically large, sprawling industrial complexes with extensive piping running throughout, carrying streams of fluids between large chemical processing units. They continuously process approximately about 100,000+ barrels of crude oil daily.

Solutions

Siemens SiPass access control system and the Siveillance™ Vantage PSIM solution for centralized command and control can provide the flexibility to secure a wide range of activities at an oil refinery. It integrates perimeter protection, access control, intrusion detection and video surveillance into a single system and can ensure the oil refinery meets regulatory requirements. Integrating SiPass with Vantage PSIM can also streamline processes, increase efficiency and establish greater accountability onsite.
