29 July 2014 - 9:15PM
For Immediate Release
SOUTHAMPTON,
PA, USA, July 29, 2014 - Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (OTC
Pink: ETCC) ("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division ("ETC
Simulation"), located in Orlando, FL, announced today it has been
awarded a contract by the Jiangsu Fire Brigade in China to deliver
an ADMS training suite. The customized ADMS-Command system
will be used to train for petrochemical and industrial emergency
response.
The Advanced Disaster Management
Simulator ("ADMS") suite will include an On-Scene Incident Command
Room with a 180-degree immersion theater screen and eight field
unit positions. Within the training facility, an observer
theater will be constructed inside the immersion room for
briefings, training observation, and evaluation.
The customized system will be a
full Chinese version of ADMS-Command including response vehicles
and crews, casualties and bystanders, street signs, and street
names, as well as a Chinese User Interface. In addition to
these, new response vehicles will be added including ladder trucks,
aerial platforms, high capacity water pumps, high capacity foam
trucks, and an earthquake rescue truck.
The Jiangsu Fire Brigade will
utilize ADMS to train for both petrochemical and industrial
emergency response, and also with special attention given to large
scale structural fires in high-rise buildings. To meet these
requirements, ETC Simulation will develop a petrochemical
factory.
"We welcome Jiangsu Fire Academy
to our global user community, and are excited to expand our
footprint within Asia as we strive to provide the best simulation
training platform for emergency responders worldwide," said Marco
van Wijngaarden, President of ETC Simulation. "We just
returned from the Design Review Meeting and the training facility
has a fantastic layout. The observer theater will enhance the
learning experience. With ADMS, Jiangsu will be able to train
standard operating procedures for petrochemical and high-rise
building fire incidents, and use all specialized vehicles as they
have available in the field."
