Underground traffic stations consist of many areas. Each area has particular fire protection requirements. The highly flexible, modular design of HI-FOG^® supports many configurations to meet the requirements of each area. With one centralised pump unit, HI-FOG^® can protect all the spaces of a station, such as:

• Platforms
• Shopping arcades
• Machinery spaces
• Electrical rooms
• Escalators
• Trainways

Combining fire protection for stations and trains

Millions of people move underground every day. Although public transportation is among the safest modes of urban transport, fire in subterranean stations represents a unique and complex risk. To help nutralise this risk, Marioff is introducing a new and innovative way to protect both trains and stations with a single solution.

If a fire starts on a subway train, the train continues to the next station for evacuation and emergency service. With this new innovation, when the train arrives, the on-board HI-FOG^® tubing is automatically connected to the station’s HI-FOG^® system for activation. By combining station and train fire protection in this way, overall system costs are reduced while maintaining a high level of fire safety.

The station’s HI-FOG system is connected automatically or manually to the dry tubing on the train.
