Schluchseewerk AG, located in the German city of Laufenburg, assumes responsibility – introducing a complete security management concept for the population’s and environment’s safety.
In order to guarantee a best possible safety for individuals and environment, Schluchseewerk AG commissioned PRO DV to implement within the next months a wide-ranging crisis management with a user-orientated, audit proof and proof safe design. PRO DV Software AG – competence holder of civil protection systems, crisis management, and crisis practice – supports the management of the electricity producer thereby especially in advisory capacity.
Schluchseewerk AG, with its shareholders RWE Power, EnBW Kraftwerke AG, and Energiedienst AG runs peak load power plants in the Southern Black Forest in Germany. Currently, the company controls and supervises five power plants which provide a maximum power of 1.740 MW in the turbine operation, and 1.568 MW in the pump operation. Today’s main tasks are the production, maintenance, and renewal of the power plants which are up to 76 years old.
The production of electricity can bear very diverse risks. Huge failures can often cause damages for the population and the environment. The causes of malfunction can be manifold: technical failures, thunderstorms like floodwater, storm or snow, also overloads or extrinsic encroachment like attacks or terrorist attacks. In order to guarantee a maximum safety level of the plants, an effective and compact master concept, based on the existing crisis management, shall now be generated as a start. The master concept will include, among others, attributes like standardised check lists, new communication channels and strategies, and the restructuring of the crisis management group.
Safety as a vital civil interest requires an active and successful crisis management, no matter which branch. Be it the utility industry, the communication sector, the industries, the transport and traffic sector, or the trade and the finance management sector. Due to the development and implementation of solutions in civil protection and in the fields of crisis management and crisis practices, PRO DV Software AG provides specific expertise and offers therefore a perfect basis for optimal consulting services for the protection against critical infrastructures.
