Cable tunnels are critical assets within power and industrial infrastructure, where undetected overheating or fire can lead to major operational disruption and costly downtime.
To address this risk, Bandweaver delivered a fiber optic Linear Heat Detection (LHD) solution using its FireLaser Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology. By installing sensing cable along the tunnel ceiling, the system provides continuous temperature monitoring across the entire asset, enabling early detection of heat build-up and potential fire events.
The solution divides the tunnel into defined zones, allowing precise identification of alarm locations and rapid response. Integrated with fire control panels and SCADA systems, it ensures real-time visibility of events, system status, and alarms from a central monitoring location.
With its passive design, immunity to environmental conditions, and low maintenance requirements, the system delivers a reliable, long-term approach to protecting critical cable infrastructure.
The result is a robust fire detection solution that enhances safety, reduces risk, and supports uninterrupted operation.
