Integrated Tunnel Management
SICE is a company that develops and implements integral solutions for the management and control of intelligent transport systems.
It installs safety, control and electro-mechanical systems in tunnels and oversees their maintenance and operation.
For this purpose it offers an integral centralized tunnel management system used to control and monitor all tunnel systems and to guarantee maximum levels of safety and operation during both routine management and in emergency situations.
To date the company has implemented its technology to bring smart systems to transport infrastructure in over 346 km of tunnels; it is one of the primary companies to provide services related to the development and implementation of integral tunnel control and management solutions. SICE has a portfolio of numerous important references in this sector in the United States, Colombia, Chile, Australia, Spain and Portugal.

SICE implements and integrates all subsystems associated with tunnel control and safety.
Thanks to the centralisation of these systems it is possible to set up integral management to allow decisions to be made by those responsible for infrastructure management and safety.
To date, the company has implemented these systems in many different types of tunnels in various environments, both within Spain and overseas.
SICE supplies, installs and controls subsystems related to tunnel electro-mechanical installations.
Given the critical nature of electro-mechanical systems in the operation of this type of infrastructure, it is vital that they are correctly implemented in each project from state of the art technology perspectives.
Electro-mechanical facilities installed by SICE have always included all resources necessary to ensure that they provide maximum levels of safety.
This integral solution developed by SICE for the centralized management of intelligent transport systems provides traffic infrastructure managers with the tools they need to acquire, store, process and distribute the information. This solution is based on a software platform called SIDERA and conforms to a wide range of European, Australian and American standards.
SICE offers an integrated management solution for multi-tunnel environments, including the ability to integrate operation systems with a capacity to monitor all of their components. It allows multiple tunnel systems to be controlled centrally to ensure maximum safety and efficiency.
