If you live or work near our pipelines, it’s important to remember to call your local One Call Service to prevent damage to buried utilities. Ground disturbance activities like fence installation or vehicle crossings can pose risks to hidden underground infrastructure. ➡️ https://ow.ly/G9p350Rxox7

Is your electric fence raising false alarms when it's raining ? Here is why...👇 1. Rainwater drops During rainfall if the live and earth wires are connected by rainwater drops for a few seconds such that there is interference or such that voltage drops on the system below the recommended KV, then an alarm will sound 🚨🚨💥💥 To minimize the situation, Check that your fence wires are not sagging👍 Watch out for part 2 🕺 #falsealarms #electricfence #rainingseason #troubleshooting #solutions #tipsandtricks

From power tools to specialised equipment, there’s no shortage of lithium-ion batteries on construction sites. These power sources are wonderfully useful, but also come with unique fire risks. 🏗️🔋 If overheated, overcharged, or damaged, these batteries can enter a self-heating, uncontrollable state known as thermal runaway. Once this happens, toxic and flammable gases are released, which almost always ignite. ⚠️ Site owners can’t afford to ignore this. To solve this modern fire risk, we developed the CommanderEDGE LFX lithium-ion battery fire extinguisher to tackle thermal runaway in its infancy.

*IEEE 2417 2022 Guide for early, detection,mitigation,preventive measure,and response to smoke,fire,and explosion underground electrical infraestructura.* #manholepowercable #explosionmanhole #explosionsystemcable "Abstract: Failures of underground cables and accessories can result in the release of toxic gases and large amounts of energy. These failures include smoking manholes, manhole fires, and manhole explosions. These failure events can damage underground infrastructure and pose a risk to the maintenance crews and the public. The root causes, prevention, early detection, mitigation, and response to failures of accessories and cable inside, and connected to underground electrical structures (i.e., manholes, vaults, handholes, etc.) are examined. Methods that can help prevent manhole events and methods that can mitigate the severity of manhole events are suggested.View less Scope:This guide deals with smoke, fires, and explosions caused by cables or cable accessories in electrical subsurface structures and duct runs. Purpose:The purpose of this guide is to define manhole events and identify the causes of those events. It contains a compilation of methods a practitioner could use to help detect, prevent, mitigate, and respond to manhole even"

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for utility security. Equipment size, location landscape and even weather all complicate how substations can be protected. Amulet SafeWrap™ installs directly onto high-voltage transmission transformers and other critical structures. Because it is modular, this ballistic barrier can protect specific sides or the entire structure—including above. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, Amulet SafeWrap™ is adaptable enough to flex to meet the needs of most utilities. Watch our new approach to critical infrastructure protection in action below. #ballisticprotection #substationsecurity #ballisticbarrier #modulartechnology

Importance of blast wall between two transformers 🧱 A blast wall between two transformers is crucial for safety. It acts as a strong barrier in case of explosions or fires. This helps protect the transformers, nearby buildings, and people. By containing the damage, the wall ensures a steady power supply and reduces the risk of accidents. It's a smart way to keep everyone safe and electricity flowing smoothly. #Electrical #electricalsafety #healthandsafety #explosion #fire #riskassessment #processsafety

Did you know that #AODDpumps use no electricity and can be deployed in enclosed spaces or underground, making them ideal for explosive environments? These pumps can also deliver optimal performance when completely submerged. Learn more about Air-Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps: https://buff.ly/3Ja9gOa #WestViewCunningham #PumpSolutions

True or false? You can use a generator inside your commercial building during a power outage. False! When operating a generator, it's essential to ensure that it is outside and at least 60 inches from windows, doors and other entryways. If the generator doesn't have a proper amount of space to vent, it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Find more tips for staying safe during an emergency: https://hubs.la/Q02k1KrL0

Most of the district is now without power. Small pockets have power, including areas near the power station and inland areas, but most people do not have power. I have texted with the power company representative and they are aware of the situation. My past experience is that most people are back online within 48 hours. Many trees are down and so some roads are impassible. Please remember to stay safe and not take unnecessary risks with cleanup. Unfortunately, most personal injury from here on out will result from poor decisions rather than unavoidable impact. Persons who are not skilled and experienced with generators or electricity should not attempt dangerous tasks.
