Sepura When Safety Depends on Communication
How Sepura helps protect people in hazardous industrial environments
In hazardous industrial environments, reliable communication is more than an operational requirement, it is a critical component of worker safety. Whether operating in petrochemical plants, refineries, mining operations, ports, or energy facilities, communication systems must continue performing under demanding conditions where failure simply isn’t an option.
Available throughout Southern Africa from the Elvey Group, Sepura’s intrinsically safe TETRA radios are designed specifically for these high-risk environments, delivering secure, reliable communications when they matter most.
PROVEN WHERE THE RISKS ARE HIGHEST
Shell’s Pulau Bukom Manufacturing site in Singapore is one of the largest and most complex petrochemical facilities in the Asia-Pacific region, producing around 500 000 barrels of refined crude oil per day.
To improve safety, coverage, and operational efficiency, Shell replaced its legacy analogue network with a Sepura TETRA solution that now supports around 1 000 intrinsically safe hand-portable radios, 80 fixed radios, and approximately 7 500 calls every day.
The system delivers secure communications across the entire island, including ferry terminals and remote docking facilities, while providing dedicated emergency functionality for workers operating in hazardous areas.
BUILT FOR DEMANDING ENVIRONMENTS
Large metal structures, hazardous materials, restricted access, and critical operational processes presented significant communication challenges during the deployment.
Sepura addressed these by delivering:
Intrinsically safe ATEX-certified hand-portable radios.
Reliable TETRA coverage across complex industrial facilities.
Crystal-clear, secure voice communications.
Dedicated emergency button functionality.
Integration with critical operational systems.
24/7 local engineering support and proactive maintenance.
wHY THIS MATTERS
Across southern Africa, mining operations, refineries, chemical plants, ports, utilities, and energy facilities face many of the same challenges, harsh operating environments, vast industrial sites, hazardous atmospheres, and a constant need to protect both people and operations.
Mission-critical communications play an essential role in improving worker safety, coordinating emergency response, and maintaining operational continuity across these demanding environments.
A COMPLETE MISSION-CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS ECOSYSTEM
Combined with DAMM TETRA infrastructure, Sepura radios provide a secure, resilient communications platform that can grow alongside operational requirements while supporting voice, messaging, and critical data applications.
