Company Information

Leonding (euro adhoc) - 110 tunnel extinguishing system units for the
longest civil engineering construction in Luxembourg / Major order in
the field of stationary fire protection / Stationary systems with
highly efficient extinguishing technology

Rosenbauer, the world's leading equipper of fire fighters, is
equipping the newly-built Grouft and Stafelter tunnel in Luxembourg
with 110 tunnel extinguishing system units with a value of 2.2 m
euros. Both tunnels are on the Route du Nord (A7) and connect the
economic areas in the north of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg with the
capital city.

Efficient self-help Rosenbauer has developed specialized
extinguishing systems for immediate deployment after a fire breaks
out in a tunnel. These space-saving systems, which are located at
pull-off bays and in firefighting stations and along the entire
length of the tunnel in recesses with a depth of just 60 cm, are just
as easy to use as traditional hand-held extinguishers. Simply opening
a single door to remove the pistol-grip nozzle activates the
extinguishing system.

The extinguishing agent is a water/foam compound mix which is
actively foamed creating compressed air (CAFS). The aqueous
film-forming foam (AFFF) ) extinguishing agent completely coats the
surface of the fuel, thus ensuring the best possible fire
extinguishing performance and burnback resistance. The water comes
from a dedicated water supply in the tunnel, ensuring that there will
always be an adequate supply of extinguishing agent. The
extinguishing agent is delivered through a CAFS hollow jet pipe with
a throw range of up to 15 meters - keeping users at a safe distance
from the fire.

The extremely lightweight and dimensionally stable special textile
hose gives any road user the ability to utilize the full hose length
of up to 60 m and - given appropriate deployment of the system over
the entire length of the tunnel - to deploy efficient extinguishing
actions at any point in the shaft.

Longest construction in Luxembourg The Grouft tunnel is located in
the north of Luxembourg in the community of Lorentzweiler and is the
longest construction on the "Route du Nord" with a length of 2,966 m.
It connects the capital city Luxembourg with the towns of Mersch,
Colmar-Berg and Ettelbruck in the north of the Grand Duchy, in order
to relieve traffic flows through the City of Luxembourg in this
direction and to better connect the economic regions in the north.

Numerous European tunnels have been equipped with stationary
Rosenbauer tunnel extinguishing systems in recent years, including
the Markusbierg and Gousselerbierg tunnels in Luxembourg, Trojane and
Sentvid in Slovenia, and Tauern, Katschberg, Hiefler, Ofenauer,
Roppener, Achrain, Pfänder, Grünburg, Traunkirchen, Ottsdorf,
Semmering, and Hallstatt in Austria.

Wide range of applications Stationary firefighting systems by
Rosenbauer are customized extinguishing systems that feature highly
efficient extinguishing technology for the protection of persons,
premises and buildings. They are deployed wherever legacy sprinkler
and spray water systems do not offer optimum protection, or where
their use would involve substantial consequential damage. Apart from
highway tunnels, Rosenbauer has also equipped airport hangars,
painting and recycling plants, substitute fuel power stations,
conveying systems, and offshore helidecks with the system.
