Fort Canning Road Tunnel Protection with Fiber Optic Linear Heat Detection (LHD)

Tunnel environments demand fast, reliable fire detection to ensure the safety of road users and maintain continuous operation. At Singapore’s Fort Canning Road Tunnel, a key access route to one of the city’s busiest districts, a high-performance solution was required to deliver early warning and full asset coverage.

Bandweaver deployed its FireLaser fiber optic Linear Heat Detection system, providing continuous temperature monitoring along the full length of the tunnel. Using smart zoning and advanced alarm capabilities, including rate-of-rise and deviation detection, the system enables rapid identification and precise localisation of potential fire events.

A dual-channel configuration ensures system redundancy, maintaining protection even in the event of a cable fault, while integration with tunnel control systems supports coordinated response and operational safety.

The result is a reliable, low-maintenance fire detection solution that enhances safety, reduces risk, and supports the efficient operation of critical tunnel infrastructure.
