of all construction and maintenance areas in rail transport do not have fully developed escape routes during the construction phase.
of the global rail network is undergoing construction and renovation work. The trend is continuing to rise.
Special-purpose vehicles have only recently become more of a focus for fire protection, while simultaneously becoming more important for track maintenance. This is also directly related to the increased awareness of the need for infrastructure maintenance. Vehicles in the “yellow fleets” typically represent a comprehensive combination of diverse issues and risk areas, as they feature a large number of measuring equipment, independent traction elements, and overnight accommodations for personnel. Combining all of this in a single system and mapping it out in a sensible and cost-optimized manner (initial costs and life cycle costs) is one of the specialties of the FOGTEC team.

and diesel generators pose the greatest potential risks in most cases.Is there a danger or need for evacuation for personnel?
High-pressure water mist ensures a safe atmosphere for personnel.
Can specific areas in the special vehicle be targeted for extinguishing?
Yes, thanks to the localization of the original source of the fire, the activation of the system can be limited to this area.
Are the systems suitable for new and existing vehicles?
Yes, both for new vehicles and as retrofits in existing fleets.
