Purpose

Effective communications was now required at all times between both facilities. A new communications system was required to be installed to ensure that all pages and communications, including everyday and emergency communications, would be heard intelligibly.

Challenge

Given the sheer amount of machines in constant operation, the new communications system needed to be heard over the high noise levels at both facilities. The system also required the capability to page onsite and across town through an IP network.

Solution

Using a WAN and TOA’s IP Intercom, Bearspaw and Glenmore Water Treatment Plants were able to establish communications. They chose TOA’s Industrial Use Master Station (N-8020MS), which is designed to work in heavy dust or wet environments. The SC Series Paging Horns were also installed strategically around the plant to provide effective communications to all of the staff and visitors. 

Feedback

The customer was very satisfied with the performance of the TOA equipment. It meets their needs and can withstand the harsh environment of the treatment plant.
