Description of
cause
The building within which the piqlVault system is placed is an old office
building. The general infrastructure (ventilation systems, water pipes and
electrical system including wiring) is outdated, and especially the
electrical system is due for replacement as the Piql personnel have
recently experienced many problems with old fuses and poor wiring. An
electrical fire is started when an overload occurs when a robot connects
to a charger on top of the grid which causes a spark and a fire is ignited.
Most regular fires burn with a temperature of between 600 and 1200°
Celsius depending on the materials which fuel the fire.

Location
Location
description
Geographical zone: North (Asia). The developmental level of many parts
of the continent is medium to high, but there are pockets of less
developed areas with more dilapidated buildings and lacking
infrastructure.
The piqlVault is situated in an urban area, yet a little outside of the city
centre where standards are more modest.
The scenario takes place in the present. The time period is 0-30/50 years,
as the user is business non-sensitive. The scenario is also a risk for the
future, so long as the risk of electrical fires is an embedded feature of the
way electrical systems are set up.
