This Metalliance MSV has been protected with our vehicle fire suppression system, ensuring practical fire protection in tunnelling operations.

Tunnelling machinery and vehicles fires pose a significant danger to operations and staff. Dark, tight and enclosed areas can make it incredibly difficult to tackle a fire, that's why vehicle fire suppression is a must in this industry.

The potential fire risks for tunnelling machinery and vehicles are:

• Overheating engine (such as the DPF)

• Fuel or oil leaks

• Sparking

• Dust and debris build up

With a Fireward fire suppression system, we utilise pneumatic detection tubing around the engine bay of a vehicle like this. Pneumatic detection is considerably faster at detecting flames compared to an electronic linear system.

Time is crucial when it comes to vehicle fires our pneumatic tubing can detect a fire in under 10 seconds, we're proud to offer one of the fastest detection methods on the market.
