- New major contract for property protection in Sweden
- Digital monitoring system protecting supply infrastructure to be
installed by mid-2010
- Contract worth several millions of euros
Kölleda/Oskarshamn, March 18, 2010. Funkwerk AG (ISIN: DE0005753149) has
won a new major contract involving property protection in Sweden. The
company has been selected to install a video security system at the
Oskarshamn nuclear power plant before the end of June 2010. The system is
designed to protect supply infrastructures. The contract awarded to
Funkwerk is worth several millions of euros and includes the option of
further system extensions.
The Oskarshamn nuclear power plant is one of four nuclear power plants
operating in Sweden and the third to be equipped with a video monitoring
system from Funkwerk. The plant is located at the Baltic Coast and produces
some 10 per cent of the total electricity for Sweden. The Oskarshamn
nuclear power plant is one of the most efficient nuclear power plants in
the Scandinavian region.
In an effort to ensure that the highest standard of securityalso applies
to plant protection, its operator, Oskarshamnsverkets Kraftgrupp AB (OKG),
has now contracted Funkwerk to install a new digital video monitoring
system. The plant will be equipped with over 200 day/night network cameras
and precision pan-tilt units from Funkwerk plettac electronic GmbH.
Visualisation at the plant's operations control centre is ensured by two
monitor walls with 14 monitors each and several workstations. All
activities registered by the cameras are redundantly recorded by the video
system and analysed.
With its high-end system solution, Funkwerk prevailed againstother
well-known global players in an international tender. 'This new property
protection project underlines the expertise of Funkwerk as a provider of
security solutions based on digital networks for large and mid-sized
plants. It has helped us as a security specialist gain a good reputation
now also in the Scandinavian region. The contract will no doubt consolidate
our position in the Swedish nuclear power plant sector,' Gérard Monin from
Funkwerk explains.
