In our approach of these sites, we initially assess the overall functional
requirements:
• taking into account the varied exogenic risks,
• the reliability of the system,
• the guarantee of free operation,
• the limitations of restraints in public zones,
• the obligation of an optimal maintainability.
Then, we carry out a detailed risk analysis taking into account the
particular characteristics of the site:
• its structures: volumes of great height (halls of terminals, technical
zones),
• the specificity of public zones: variable calorific value, with significant
factor of propagation,
• sensitive zones: the risks are mixed, the zones to be protected
being multiple (commercial zones compartmentalised and on variable
surface, zones of intensive crowd passage).
