FUNCTIONAL ADVANTAGES
INNOVATIVE
This module is
removable in a single
helicopter rotation: this
makes it possible to
carry out maintenance
in a secure area and
store the active module
in the valley.
Simplified gas
reloading
ECOLOGICAL
This non-polluting system
with low visual impact (no
pipelines and very limited
civil engineering work)
respects the environment
and is particularly suitable
for Park reserves.
