  1. 4th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR FIRE CHIEFS IN THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY The latest technologies being used by fire-fighters to pre-plan, train, and use in real time emergency mitigations Iain Cooke Technical Director TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  2. Exploiting spatial systems in industrial firefighting TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  3. What are spatial systems (GIS)? Some base technologies – A lightning tour TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  4. TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  5. TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  6. TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  7. TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  8. TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  9. Are these IT systems more than just a map? TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  10. Hydrants / Equipment Site drains / pipelines Products (Oil, Chemical, Gas) Gas modelling Satellite/aerial imagery Your plant / Facility Information Visualisation and Decision Support Tools TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  11. Planning and Preparation • Can you see • if you have adequate water? • the risk of escalation / spread? • if hose runs and equipment will be effective? • water management issues? • what scenarios you have planned for? • the environment a plume will cover? • Spatial systems make it clearer TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  12. Incident Response When an incident happens… • Can you quickly locate • information on special risks? • pre-planned information and advice? • hydrants, sumps, drains and their connections? • Spatial systems make it faster, easier, clearer AND • Easy to provide to incoming teams TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  13. Level within company 4. Place booster pumps 1. See heat contour impact upon plant 2. Position response equipment 3. Measure hose runs Fire Chief Planning and Response Benefit : Visualise your response when pre-planning TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  14. Level within company Fire Chief 5. Measure the tank footprint 6. Calculate foam requirement Benefit : Tools to speed scenario planning TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  15. Level within company Fire Chief 7. Calculate bund / dyke capacity Benefit : Tools to speed scenario planning TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  16. Level within company Fire Chief 7. Retrieve pre authored pre-plan document Benefit : Incident location provides access to plans TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  17. Level within company Fire Chief 9. Model gas dispersion to determine impact Benefit : Quick and easy correlation with environment TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  18. Away from the heat… • Access data of many sites over the web • See incidents and history • See status of tanks and product • Information for decision making in the wider context TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  19. Level within company 1. View data for more than one facility 2. See live Storage Tank volume data Regional Crisis Manager Understanding the big picture Benefit : Calculate the cost of a Tank fire TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  20. Level within company Regional Crisis Manager Example COST ANALYSIS OF 10HR FIRE Confirm fight the fire $6,827,433 - $912,000 = $5,915,433 TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  21. Level within company Example COST ANALYSIS OF 84HR FIRE (BUNCEFIELD) Regional Crisis Manager -$5,750,000 $146.15M - $140.4M = TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY

  22. Conclusion • A different and powerful way of managing information • “Maps” are a very intuitive paradigm • Big potential, lots of possibilities But… • The system won’t create the information! TADPOLE TECHNOLOGY
