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.
