Tough, durable and long lasting, 8133 Videotec’s Maximus MPXHD full HD camera can provide effective video surveillance and process control in hazardous areas and harsh settings.

The units can be operated in area where the presence of gases or flammable dust can create a potentially explosive environment. These can be used in materials storage bins or tunnels for example and are also said to be explosion-proof, with pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) capabilities. Certified to ATEX, IECEX, EAC Ex, INMETRO and UL for use in Zone 1 and 2, Group IIC T6 (Gas), and in Zone 21 and 22, Group IIIC T85°C (Dust), the 1080p, 60fps camera incorporates a 30x optical zoom, able to accurately identify small details and broadcast high quality images via Ethernet with H.264/AVC and MJPEG compression (ONVIF Profile-S).

The unit can provide from two to four video streams simultaneously, up to a total of 20Mbps, depending on its configuration. The camera’s day/night feature guarantees high sensitivity in low light environments. Response to the operator’s commands is instantaneous, for a fast and accurate detection of a target in all conditions.

    When it comes to runways, there are few busier then Brisbane’s main runway. Servicing both domestic and international travel, with over 200,000 movements per year, operating without a curfew Brisbane’s main runway is the busiest in Australia. For maintenance, crews only have a limited period of time to determine the pavement condition, normally during the night, making the detection of pavement faults difficult. To resolve this issue, a new high speed pavement scanner was used to rapidly survey the pavem

    The security and safety of the EU’s key infrastructure is a major issue and requires Pan-European agreement Critical infrastructure, such as highways, energy lines or pipelines, may spread over large areas covering wide geographic zones. There is clearly a need to provide proper security for such infrastructure against illicit actions and against incidents that may escalate to crises. As a result, developing 24/7 surveillance systems for the security of Wide Zones (with multiple assets at localised scale
  • Advances in tunneling technology offer efficiency
    October 18, 2017
    New developments in tunnelling technologies offer contractors greater efficiencies when constructing new bores. Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are widely being used in major projects such as the Brenner Base Tunnel in the Austrian Alps. Full face TBMs are highly sophisticated machines featuring a rotating drilling head, which removes the material, and, depending on the type of construction, secures the excavated tunnel with shotcrete, rock bolts and wire mesh or prefabricated segments of reinforced concrete.
