FibroLaser in road tunnels

Strong winds of up to 10 m/s swirl smoke and hot gases in road tunnels, so that the maximum temperatures do not occur necessarily at the spot of the fire source. This is the reason why FibroLaser measures both the convection and radiation heat to ensure a reliable fire detection and localization.

Market Specifics

More and more road traffic will be moved “underground” – in order to create more efficient connections and to relieve theburden on cities. Road tunnels and galleries are therefore the nerve centers of our mobile society. People, vehicles, and infrastructure must be protected here against the fire with maximum reliability.
