Cable Tunnels

AquaMist ULF for Cable Tunnels

Effective Containment and Suppression to Protect Infrastructure

Cable tunnels are vital infrastructure for modern cities, supporting information and energy needs, but they pose unique fire risks due to their long distances and ventilation limitations. Rapid suppression is crucial to minimize the immediate effects of a cable tunnel fire, as the economic consequences can exceed physical damage expenses.

Risks include structural damage, temperature control, business interruption, high cable replacement costs, difficulty in accessing obstructed environments, and the production of toxic smoke from burning rubber-coated cables. The right fire protection solution can help minimize the risks while balancing other practical considerations, such as space and budget.

AquaMist ULF Benefits:

• Reduced water demand: low pressure technology uses smaller storage tanks and pumps than high-pressure alternatives
