Sirens are ideal warning systems for dams - easy to integrate into the warning infrastructure, reliable, very low-maintenance and operational for many years. They warn people downstream quickly and unambiguously of the water masses flowing into the valley through controlled release or, in the worst case, through a dam failure. All over the world, dam operators rely on siren warning systems from HÖRMANN Warnsysteme. The video shows how such a warning chain works.
