Many more councils and other businesses are now focusing on earthquake health and safety for their staff, and have partnered with Jenlogix to provide the very cost effective Palert system for this purpose. Jenlogix have recently sold to the Porirua Council and the Kapiti Coast Council are in the process of ordering one. They have also provided the Palert early warning system to Wellington Water and the Greymouth Council, and Beca are also about to install a unit, and have just received an order from Tauranga Council.

Due to the recent Kaikoura and Christchurch earthquakes, employers are paying more attention to improving staff health and safety. Installed by Jenlogix partner, Red Wolf Security, the system is installed to give warning of earthquake shock waves before they arrive, switching off/on emergency systems, and triggering visible and audible alarms, enabling staff to potentially exit the building before the destructive wave arrives.

Data from the system is sent to a central server, hosted by Red Wolf in their secure data centre, for processing. Combined with data from additional units in Wellington, Christchurch and other locations, the server can provide shake maps of the earthquake normally within a minute of a quake occurring. The data will also be sent to engineering firms to enable rapid determination of the health of the buildings after a severe shake.

With over 3,000 units installed worldwide, the Palert P-wave seismic alarm system has proven itself at helping provide early warning where possible, plus supplying valuable data on the effects of an Earthquake. All products in the Palert range are independently calibrated and certified by an internationally ISO approved testing laboratory.

The breakthrough technology of the advanced, cost effective, Palert system can give you that warning and the chance to act before the main devastating shock wave arrives. A P-wave of an earthquake is like seeing lightning before hearing the thunder. Alternatively the Palert can be used to protect key assets. Even without any early warning the Palert can be used as a local Earthquake Detection System to manage local assets.

Jenlogix design, configure, source, build and assemble systems, including industrial computers, embedded systems, data entry / acquisition devices, communications servers and a variety of display technologies for heavy industrial / agricultural environments and also for less rugged commercial environments, so for more information on earthquake alerts, seismic monitors and earthquake detection please go to https://www.earthquakeearlywarning.systems/ .
