Railway Automatic Fire Suppression

Railway Fire Suppression

Rail networks across the world transport billions of people and move millions of tonnes of freight each year. Connecting major cities and crossing international borders, traditional and high-speed trains operate across a huge infrastructure that is largely powered by electricity.

With customers seeking to be connected by rail networks that operate more frequently and not tolerant of delays, operators are under pressure to keep their rolling stock moving and their tracks in service. A seemingly small incident can impact passenger safety and lead to costly delays.

Safety is the number one priority for rail operators and protecting people, assets and infrastructure from fire presents its own unique set of challenges. Each network has different methods of supplying power to the rolling stock, including overhead line equipment and substations with currents in excess of 1500 volts. Electrical fires are incredibly challenging to predict and once started, if left to burn undetected, their effects can destroy equipment beyond repair and spread quickly to nearby equipment or structures.
