Detection of CO, O2, H2S and explosive gases.

The Berrocales PAU (URBAN ACTION PROGRAM) is the major urban project in the southeast of Madrid. It borders the A3 motorway, the M-50, the M-45 and line 9 of the metro. With an approximate investment of 3,000 million euros, it houses more than 22,000 homes in an area of some 8 million m2.

In addition to the houses, an industrial park, offices, other tertiary uses, social facilities and free and green spaces with trees and gardens are planned. To improve environmental quality, streets are created where only resident vehicles, basic services and pedestrians have access.

To protect the utility tunnels of this important project in the detection of toxic and explosive gases, the DURGAS system has been installed with DURTOX O2 and H2S RS485 detectors, CO EURODETECTORS and DURTEX detectors for explosive gases, designed and manufactured by Duran Electronics, S.L.
