GECOMET SMART CARE SYSTEM (GSCS)

GCSC MANAGER

It is the software platform that enables the entire tracing and management of public lighting pole through the following features.

. Management of users connected to the system through authentication and profiling;
. Job assignement (a collection of poles subject to verification); validation of the order, or making it available to the various machining operations;
. Database management relating to various types of post serving the platform for delivering the service, as the lists of armour, support, types of outreaches etc.;
. Assign and send to the tablets of the checks to be performed;
. To keep track of all the posts exported about tablets and keeping them in a State "to be controlled" until it is controlled by the operator in the field;
. To maintain the safety of exported and imported data to operators through an authentication system with your username and password;
. Generate daily reports with the data collected for each operator;
. Interfacing with the Internet for data exchange;
. A set of functionality and filtering algorithms that are made available to the technician who is responsible for validating the data collected by operators;
. Application for creating Reports and statistics CORE POSTS in various sizes.

GCSC MOBILE

Is the ANDROID application that can be installed on Smartphones and Tablets and provided to the operators who perform audits in the field.
The application communicates via the Web Services shown by GSCS Software. The APP installation package consists of an APK that requires permissions on the device to access the file system and the data connection as well as the camera. The application GSCS MOBILE communicates with GSCS trough INTERNET. In case an internet connection is not available, a special feature has been developed that allows to save the data on the local database of the Smartphone/Tablet and then synchronize them with the server database of GSCS. All this guarantees both continuity of work even if there is no internet connection, and an ncreased security of data acquired. At the end of the check on the Tablet the following screen will be shown stating the outcome of the survey:

GCSC DATABASE

Represents the Archive of the System which has been implemented through an RDBMS, that is a system for managing relational Databases that enable to manage large amounts of data and to share data between multiple users and applications.

GCSC MAPS

Is a Web application that uses the Google Maps API to show the position of the supports on the map. Each pole has a GPS coordinate (Table Markers) and each marker can have one or more tracks. View demo

As it is shown in figure above the Markers are shown representing the geographical location of the pole.
Each Marker has a different colour indicating the status of the post: Blue Marker = pole that is working smoothly (Working); Red Marker = pole that is abnormal and needs to be replaced immediately (Fault); Orange Marker = pole which must be replaced within a defined period of time (Replace).
The software is provided with a filter through which the category of information can be visualized quickly; by clicking on a marker of the Pole, the available information will be displayed for that support are poles Anagraphical Data and Data Detected
Also available are the HISTORICAL DATA of the surveys and inspections associated with each single support.

GCSC DOUBLE SHIELD

The corrosion concerning the public lampposts is still a persistent problem all over the world, especially for citizen’s safety. In fact, some tragic events have demonstrated that the danger of collapse is often unpredictable, this because there are some cases of internal corrosion that can cause the lampposts plunk down, even if there are no shown evidences.
In the next years, this danger will grow dangerously both for the lack of maintenance and the natural ageing of the metal lampposts.
The manufacturer company has developed a new concept of technology based on a double activepassive protection barrier. The Double-Shield is a new product that is a compound between two different layers of material: a sacrificial anode as inner layer and a sealing membrane as outer layer. The result is a unique and effective product that provides active protection to the metal surface that has to be covered with, and a physical-chemical passive protection. Double-Shield is a free solvent and environmentally friendly and safe.
It is designed to protect permanently underground structures, providing protection for the lifespan of the same and virtually avoiding any future maintenance.

DESCRIPTION

The product “Double-Shield ” is a coupling between an electro-conductive adhesive laminar zinc tape with the main purpose of active protection, and a self-adhesive membrane made from a polymer-modified bitumen with a HDPE carrier foil that performs as external sealing, working as a barrier for physical and chemical protection.

FEATURE

Active protection: is provided by the sacrificial action of the high purity laminated zinc (>99.95%) by its electro-conductive adhesive which ensures a positive electric connections between the metal substrate and the zinc so that it can act as a sacrificial galvanic anode.
Passive protection: is given by the top coat bonded to the zinc foil, this is composed of a membrane made from a polymer-modified bitumen with HDPE carrier foil which bonds in an excellent way to the zinc, sealing and protecting it against any external attack and any mechanical damages. Chemical protection: the special composition of the outer coat provides a resistance to all the aggressive substances that naturally occur in soils.

MAIN APPLICATION

"Double-Shield” is mainly used for:
- underground pipes;
- steel poles for the public lighting;
- underground steel storage tanks;
- joining under-ground and above-ground steel structures

ACTIVE PROTECTION

An anticorrosion protection by means of insulating coating ( paintings, plastics, rubber and so on) achieves exclusively a passive protection of the surface.
Double-Shield coating with electro-conductive adhesive, represents an effective step ahead in the technique of protection against spontaneous corrosion phenomena of whichever metal structure.
The Double-Shield 3.3. inner layer ensures a positive electrical connection between the metal substrate and the zinc , through the specially formulated electro-conductive adhesive.
The high dissolution tension of zinc tape and its fixing to the steel surface by means of binder in the electro-conductive film permits, whenever in some areas there is a lack of coating or whenever an electrolyte infiltrates between the metal structures and the zinc tape, the immediate formation of a galvanic cell, in which, the zinc becomes an anode dissolving itself and protecting the metal structure (cell cathode). In this case the product realizes an “active protection” of the metal surface.
The complete homogeneity and isotropy of the zinc lamina avoid, all along the superficial development, the presence of variations of dissolution tension: it has a very low auto-corrosion consumption.

PASSIVE PROTECTION - TECHNICAL DATA

Double-Shield 3.3.'s outer layer is a self-adhesive bituminous sealing membrane cold-applied, that is a self-adhesive, flexible, crack-bridging made from polymer-modified bitumen with HDPE carrier foil on one side. It is used for underground structures permanently against ground moisture (capillary water, retained water) non-accumulating seepage water.
The self-adhesive bituminous sealing membrane with HDPE carrier foil affords immediate resistance to water and driving rain, is flexible, tear-resistant and cold-bending. It is environmentally friendly and is resistant to all aggressive substances that occur in soils. It does not contaminate ground water.
