British Energy has commissioned Carillion Communications to create a bespoke a-v simulation facility at its Sizewell B plant in Suffolk, which supplies three per cent of the UK’s electricity and employs more than 500 staff.
The a-v installation extends over several working environments, a control room and one large plant area. The objective was to create a simulated working environment with the ability to recreate real-life operations under the scrutiny of the Sizewell training team.
The brief included the capability for two-way communication within the training environment and the capacity to record and playback the results of the training to the staff.
Carillion has brought Polar Audio on board to install an audio system which includes two zones of 100V line paging, a stereo-source input channel and eight microphone channels. The audio is controlled and configured by installing a Biamp AudiaFlex DSP mainframe with Cobranet.
