To effectively prevent major fires in tunnels, experts have conducted numerous tests that have shown the importance of controlling an initial fire as early as possible. Traditional methods of structural fire protection and smoke extraction systems alone cannot guarantee safety. Automatic fire fighting systems are essential to increase safety measures and ensure availability in the event of a fire. That's where FOGTEC Firefighting Systems come in, as they fight fires immediately once detected in a tunnel.
FOGTEC high-pressure water mist systems are specifically designed to tackle these fire risks head-on by dousing flames the second they're detected. Unlike the old sprinkler system, these systems use teeny tiny droplets that suck up all the heat and knock the oxygen out from under the flames. The tech is versatile and can be used in all sorts of tunnel application areas, including road tunnels, rail and metro systems and even service tunnels (cable tunnels). With fixed fire fighting systems (FFFS) in place, you can expect to see a lot less downtime and prevent the "stack effect" from kicking in in ventilated underground spaces.
