Tunnel Fire Boards provide safety against fire to tunnel structure – walls, ceilings and to ventilation shafts. These comprise an integral part of tunnel fire protection systems.
Fire boards are a popular method of providing protection against fire to structural steel elements. Often referred as steel encasement or fire cladding, fire protection panels safeguard steel structures from high thermal loads.
Each tunnel is equipped not only with passive fire protection but also with emergency escape routes which can also serve as maintenance walkways. Fire rated cable trough covers tested for dynamic loads which can even sustain up to 19kN/m2 are often used in railway projects.
We support tunnel engineers, contractors and operators with engineering, design, testing and supply of tunnel passive fire protection systems and tunnel fire boards.
Cable Trough Cover: Fire-Rated Solutions for UK Rail Infrastructure Introduction Selecting the appropriate cable trough cover for underground rail and metro applications requires careful consideration of fire safety standards, structural performance, and operational requirements. This Read more
Differences Between Road Tunnel Fires and Building Fires Fires in road tunnels differ significantly from those typically encountered in buildings. Road tunnel fires occur in a highly confined space with limited ventilation, which causes heat Read more
Electric Vehicle Fires in Tunnels: passive fire protection perspective The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) has prompted research and changes across many aspects of transportation infrastructure, including tunnel safety. Fire protection in tunnels is a Read more
