Jenlogix and Redwolf held the Inaugural Palert Seismic User Group in Wellington last month at the Callaghan Innovations Gracefield Campus. Items covered were Palert Infrastructure Protection, Construction Vibration Monitoring and Rapid Structural Health Diagnostics,

This involved discussion about how all users can collaborate and benefit from the systems, and featured an international speaker, Reid Chen from San Lien. The seminar was attended by many high-profile companies with infrastructure to protect, such as Wellington Water, Callaghan Innovation, KiwiRail, Aurecon, Hutt Valley District Health Board, Beca, Te Papa, Wellington City Council, Wellington Electricity, Spectrum Consulting Engineers, Napier Port, Sealed Air, GNS Science, Red Wolf Security and Spacifx.

One key point was the 19 seconds warning of the recent Kaikoura shake that was provided by the Palert unit to a Wellington resident. This allowed him to get his family up and take cover. In fact, the 19 seconds was so long he initially thought it was a false alarm, but not once the actual shake arrived.

With the earthquake infrastructure protection and Rapid Structural Health Diagnostics as other topics the seminar’s aim was to ensure collaboration from current and prospective users of the world-renowned cost effective Palert systems.

Founded in 1967, San Lien has grown from a manufacture of electrical switches to producing many different types of measuring equipment. This includes the sales and integration of sensors, measuring technology, monitoring systems, semiconductor equipment, industrial automation and graphic equipment. In addition, they also provide total solutions including planning, designing, engineering, inspection and maintenance service for the electric and instrument systems. Involved in many construction projects, the company was able to go public in 2001. In 2007 the company started the development with Professor Yih-Min Wu of the cost effective Palert Seismic switch and Early Earthquake Warning Systems.
