Supporting site safety ahead of the highly anticipated Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics, wireless solutions provider Ramtech has announced its innovative WES3 system has been selected for three key construction projects.
Working closely with its regional partner, EUROFEU, Ramtech has supplied its EN54-25 compliant WES3 wireless fire and evacuation system for the Olympic and Paralympic Village, the Adidas Arena and the Aquatics Centre, delivering enhanced worker safety during temporary construction phases.
Benefits of the system
Additional use of the system is the multiple lingo options the control panel can be set to, including French
WES3 manual call points, with medical alert features, have been installed across the projects, with the three venues encompassing a combined 331,000 sqm. In the event of an evacuation, an alarm will sound to alert all workers, prioritising their well-being as well as helping to prevent potential disasters. An additional benefit of the system is the multiple language options the control panel can be set to, including French.
André Marques, sales executive – France at Ramtech, said: “It’s always hugely exciting to be involved in major events, and the Paris Olympics 2024 is certainly an incredible opportunity to showcase what Ramtech and WES can provide. This is one of the most prominent projects we have been part of since working in the French market, and it is a proud moment to be able to support the safety and 24/7 monitoring of such an iconic event in the heart of the capital.”
Importance for the Paris community
The Adidas Arena complex offers more than just a sporting venue, with a real living space of over 3,000 m2
The Olympics and Paralympic Village is scheduled to open on Thursday 18 July and will accommodate more than 14,000 athletes and entourage members participating in the Olympic Games, as well as another 8,000 athletes and entourage members for the Paralympic Games.
Meanwhile, the Adidas Arena complex offers more than just a sporting venue, with a real living space of over 3,000 m2. It will host various activities, including catering, sports events, pop-up stores, and more, accessible to everyone throughout the year, giving this project a high level of importance for the Paris community. The Aquatics Centre will also host water polo, diving, and synchronised swimming competitions, before being transformed into a boccia stadium for the Paralympics.
Different challenges and requirements
Stephane Stoesser, France sales manager, said: “Ramtech’s WES3 system is the pioneering wireless solution in venue construction, including theatres and sport. Every event comes with different challenges and requirements, but the versatility of the system, and its wireless nature, means it works in even the most difficult environments. The quick and easy installation, multiple language options and uninterrupted network - even across large sites - makes it the ideal choice here."
“Being chosen for three key venues at Paris 2024 exemplifies these benefits, and it is a great achievement to see WES3 and Ramtech take the world stage for reliable and innovative fire safety.”
