Many risks, one FOGTEC system
system for all applications
times greater cooling ability
A reliably functioning railway infrastructure is vital for every society. This therefore must not be at risk due to potential fires. FOGTEC water mist systems are suitable to protect most fire risks related to the infrastructure. Such risk may be switchgear rooms, data rooms, control centres, cable tunnels, small to large size transformers, public areas, steel structures, rolling stock depots and parking houses. The same central pump unit can supply all risk of one infrastructure asset. See for more details on the aforesaid risks other parts of the section XXXX FIXED XXXXXX of this home page.
Specific to underground station are FOGTEC systems, which are reducing the smoke volume and lowering its temperature. Thereby evacuation can be ensured for longer periods. Especially for existing underground stations often substantial costs savings can be achieved by avoiding to build additional rescue paths and conventional smoke handling systems.
FAQ – Fire Protection in Railway Infrastructure
Why can FOGTEC water mist systems protect tso many different types of risk?
FOGTEC water mist system work partly similar to a gas suppression system and partly like a conventional water system.
Most disadvantages of these are avoided. This makes FOGTEC systems very suitable for many risk formerly protected by gas or conventional water systems.Can FOGTEC water mist systems substitute fire boards and other fire protective material?
Yes, the highly efficient cooling effect of FOGTEC water mist is utilized to cool the surroundings of e.g. walls, ceilings, steel structure etc., thus substituting cladding, fire boards etc. in many cases. Substantial cost savings are often the result.
Can a FOGTEC water mist system be activated in manned areas?
Yes, FOGTEC water mist is 100% safe to people. No evacuation prior activation is required.
Are FOGTEC systems easy to maintain?
Yes, all FOGTEC systems are designed for easy maintenance. All parts in contact with water are made of stainless steel.
