Tunnel Boring Machines

Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are an amazing feat of engineering. Measuring over 500-feet long and carrying a crew of five or more personnel, these beasts can chew through miles of solid rock, sand, or mud. Used worldwide, TBMs have revolutionized travel and transportation. However, TBMs are large, complex machines that operate in confined spaces, making them susceptible to fire risks. The high-voltage systems and flammable materials used in TBMs can lead to catastrophic fires.

Fire Risk

• Flammable hydraulic fluids and conveyor belts.
• Electrical faults and overheating.
• Pockets of methane or natural gas in the ground.

In underground environments such as mining operations, maintenance tunnels, and transportation systems, fire hazards are a constant concern. The confined spaces, presence of heavy machinery, and risk of flammable gases like methane create the potential for dangerous and hard-to-control fires. These environments require specialised fire suppression solutions that can function effectively in remote, hard-to-access locations where traditional methods may not be feasible.

Stat-X is the perfect fit for these non-traditional scenarios, offering a compact, self-contained, and environmentally friendly suppression system. Its ability to protect critical areas and prevent fire spread in high-risk underground spaces ensures both safety and continuity of operations, even in the most challenging conditions.
