Without a doubt! Fitting industrial plants with fire detection technology is a particular challenge, since the stringent regulations of the light and heavy industry must be met and difficult environmental conditions must be withstood. Fire detection systems require many specific, custom-made solutions – especially in this impressive power plant complex. Bełchatów power plant, Poland ESSER by Honeywell products were used within the framework of a modernization program for power plant infrastructure and the safety facility. In total, 25 fire alarm control panels and over 12,000 fire detectors have been installed. This outcome could only be achieved as a result of detailed planning and investigation on site. This means that the largest thermal power plant in Europe can operate safely. "A high electromagnetic compatibility load, large amounts of dust and dirt and a partially, potentially explosive environment formed the framework for this project." 6 OUR PRODUCT portfolio IN PRACTISE REFERENCES AND PROJECTS 7 FIRE DETECTION SYSTEMS REFERENCES Fire protection on a secret mission As each building is unique, the associated fire alarm technology must be planned and installed.

Sažetak Gradovi Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne i Liverpool su europski gradovi sa različitim sustavom podzemne željeznice čiji razvoj odgovara ekonomskoj situaciji gradskih središta. Trenutno stanje pojedinih podzemno željeznićkih sustava i njihova primjenjena tehnologija uvelike odražava stanje razvoja javnog gradskog prijevoza i mreže javnog gradskog prometa. Svaki od prijevoznika u podzemnim željeznicama u tim gradovima ima različiti tehnički pristup obavljanja javnog gradskog prijevoza te korištenjem optimalnim brojem motornih prijevoznih jedinica osigurava zadovoljenje potreba javnog gradskog i metropolitanskog područja grada. Kroz usporedbu tehničkih podataka pojedinih podzemnih željeznica može se uvidjeti i zaključiti koji od sustava podzemnih željeznica je veći i koje oblike tehničkih rješenja koristi. Ključne riječi: Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne, Liverpool, podzemna željeznica, javni gradski prijevoz, linija, tip vlaka, tvrtka, prihod, cijena.
