A2S provides solutions to world-renowned players in the rail traffic, road tunnel construction and maritime transport industries. ATEX products are equipment designed to be used in environments with a risk of explosion. In transport industries such as the rail industry, road tunnels and maritime transport, the risks of explosion are very high. This is why ATEX products are particularly important to ensure the safety of workers and passengers.

Rail traffic
Rail transportation is a complex industry that involves heavy equipment and complex processes. Safety risks in rail transportation are numerous, ranging from train accidents to fires and explosions. To minimize these risks, it is essential to have appropriate safety and monitoring equipment. Here are some examples of essential safety and monitoring equipment in rail transportation:
- ATEX luminaires : These luminaires are designed to withstand explosions and fires. They are used to illuminate potentially explosive areas in stations, tunnels and railway tracks.
- Telephones and communication systems : Maintenance teams and train operators need to be able to communicate with each other to report problems or changes in operations. Our telephones are designed for use in harsh environments and explosion hazard zones. They are used to communicate in tunnels, stations and railway tracks.
- Public Address Systems: Are used to broadcast audible messages and alerts to all passengers and employees. These messages may include announcements about delays, stops, emergency evacuations, and other important information. Loudspeakers are often installed in trains, stations, and terminals to broadcast these messages. Public address systems must be reliable and easy to use to ensure that all passengers and employees can hear alerts and information clearly.
- Signaling systems: Help alert train drivers, maintenance crews, and employees of track conditions and important events. They also enable communications teams to operate more efficiently and provide essential information to passengers and employees.
- Gas Detectors: Trains may carry flammable and hazardous chemicals and gases. Gas detectors are important monitoring equipment to detect the presence of hazardous gases and prevent the risk of fire or explosion.
Surveillance cameras: Surveillance cameras are important surveillance equipment to ensure safety in rail transport. They allow to monitor work areas and quickly alert workers in case of an incident or intrusion.
- Access Control Systems: Work areas in rail transport must be limited to workers and authorized persons. Access control systems are security equipment that help control access to sensitive areas and limit security risks.
In short, rail transport requires appropriate safety and monitoring equipment to minimize the risk of incidents and ensure the safety of workers and passengers.

Tunnels
Safety is a top priority during the construction and operation of tunnels, due to risks related to ventilation, visibility, fire and accidents.
A2S offers a range of industrial equipment designed to operate safely in harsh, wet and dusty environments. Here are some examples of safety equipment that are commonly used in tunnels to reduce risks:

- Ventilation systems: Tunnels in front of ventilation systems to maintain fresh air and to evacuate fumes in case of fire. Air quality measuring equipment can also be installed to monitor air quality.
- Safety lighting: Tunnels must be equipped with safety lights to ensure sufficient visibility for drivers and workers. Emergency lighting can also be installed in case of power failure.
- Video surveillance systems: Video surveillance cameras can be installed to monitor traffic and safety in the tunnel. These cameras can also be used to monitor critical areas, such as emergency exits and hazardous areas.
- Fire detectors: Tunnels must be equipped with fire detectors to detect fires in real time and trigger the alarm.
- Fire Extinguishing Systems: Fire extinguishing systems, such as gas or water sprinkler systems, can be installed to extinguish fires quickly and effectively.
- Signaling equipment: Tunnels must be equipped with traffic signs and floor markings to guide drivers and workers through the tunnel.
It is important to note that safety equipment for tunnels must be designed and installed in accordance with the safety standards in force in the countries and that workers must be trained in the use of this equipment to ensure its effectiveness.
Maritime transport
The maritime transport of fuels and hazardous materials poses significant risks to the safety of workers, vessels and the environment. To reduce these risks, specific safety equipment is required. Here are some examples of safety equipment commonly used in the maritime transport of fuels and hazardous materials:
- Fire detection: Fire detection systems, such as smoke and heat detectors, must be installed to quickly detect any start of fire on board the vessel. These systems can provide audible and visual alarms to alert crews and allow for rapid intervention.
- Lighting: Emergency and safety lighting should be installed to allow crews to move around safely in the event of an emergency. These lights can also help crews locate safety equipment, such as life jackets and fire extinguishers.
- Communication: Vessels must be equipped with communication systems to enable crews to communicate with each other and with the appropriate authorities in the event of an emergency. Communication equipment may include radios, satellite phones, distress beacons and messaging systems.
- Public Address: Public address systems should be installed to broadcast alert messages to crews in the event of an emergency, such as evacuation instructions. These systems may also be used to broadcast safety messages, such as procedures for using safety equipment.
- Signalling: Signalling equipment, such as navigation lights, side marks and buoys, must be installed to help vessels navigate safely and avoid collisions. Vessels carrying dangerous goods must also be marked to indicate the nature of the cargo and the precautions to be taken in the event of an emergency.
