RPE Tunnel
Tunnel protection system
For more safety in the tunnel
Tunnel protection systems are compact extinguishings system that are mounted in small niches along a tunnel. The system functions without external energy - only the water has to be supplied.
Thanks to their simple operation they are efficient tools both for operational crews as well as for untrained first aiders at the scene. Great throw ranges of up to 25 m ensure the safe extinguishing of a fire from a safe distance.
"The unique risks and problems involved in responding to fires in road tunnels demand special hazard-prevention methods. And so it is essental that fire departments have suitable first response firefighting systems and rapidly accessible extinguishing agents on hand in the tunnel itself. These systems must be easy to deploy and use by motorists and fire departments alike. The Rosenbauer tunnel extinguishing system more than meets all these requirements and is - in my opinion - the ideal and economical solution that delivers significant and tangible benefits."
Ing. Roland Laabmayer Engineer and Tunnel Safety Project Manager

"The speed of the response will decide within the first frew minutes just how effectively you'll be able to extinguish a fire that breaks out in a tunnel. Fire departments recognize Rosenbauer tunnel extinguishing systems as being both highly efficient and ready to be used in the case of emergency. Their unsurpassed fire extinguishing performance is what guarantees a successful incient response."
Ing. Alois Affenzeller Engineer and Inspector
Upper Austria State Fire Department
