Texas Power Plant – Emergency Warning & Mass Notification
Situation
The Texas power plant produces enough power for approximately 800,000 homes.
The safety‑conscious plant operators needed an emergency warning and mass notification system capable of sounding sirens and broadcasting audible voice messages that can be clearly heard and understood above the plant’s background noise by its 180+ employees and contractors.
Problem
Loud ambient background noise makes it difficult for plant workers to hear and understand voice broadcasts.
Traditional siren systems are not capable of broadcasting highly intelligible voice messages.
Bullhorns, megaphones and public address systems have limited broadcast range and poor voice clarity.
Solution
Genasys ACOUSTICS systems broadcast alert tones and voice messages that cut though mechanical and ambient background noise.
ACOUSTICS broadcasts are clearly heard and understood during crisis situations.
ACOUSTICS provide hours of continuous broadcasts without overheating or voice quality degradation.
Genasys implemented a three‑phase installation at the power plant, which included outdoor ACOUSTICS systems connected via Wi‑Fi with repeaters.
Activated remotely with Genasys Protect’s Command and Control software, the system plays prerecorded messages and tones to alert and warn workers in case of an emergency.
General announcements are also broadcast throughout the plant using the ACOUSTICS systems.
Self‑contained or easily integrated with existing infrastructure, and featuring solar power, battery backup and satellite connectivity, ACOUSTICS systems are highly effective in delivering critical communications and life‑saving notifications during industrial accidents, HAZMAT incidents, intruder threats, and other crisis situations.
• Genasys Protect gives organizations precision in who they reach, speed to act faster, and clarity that cuts through confusion.
