Tunnel infrastructure

Safety systems in tunnels

We specialise in tunnel infrastructure, in terms of safety systems and equipment to ensure maximum safety for traffic participants.

We design and build complete technical equipment and control centres for tunnel safety systems. Our range of services includes solutions for: automatic tunnel control and management (WasCarT), ventilation, lighting, monitoring using AID and thermal cameras (Thermal Eye product), fire detection and signalling, communications
emergency and law enforcement services radio communication, LAN or telematics (the SYZAR Traffic Management System) in the tunnel affected area.

Tunnel projects

Construction of challenging tunnel projects with an experienced partner

Tunnel infrastructure is a very important part of the efficient development of the transport sector. Tunnel projects are characterised by high requirements related to construction, safe operation and degree of automation. Through the implementation of various transport-related projects over the years, we at WASKO have gained experience and skills that today allow us to participate in demanding and complex tunnel projects.

Over the past few years, we have participated in and continue to implement key tunnel projects in Poland:

  • Lech-Franowo axis tramway tunnel in Poznań (Route to Franowo)
  • Road tunnel under the Swina River in Swinoujscie (TBM)
  • S7 expressway road tunnel under Luboń Mały (Zakopianka)
  • Tunnel for the S2 expressway – South Bypass of Warsaw
  • Tunnel within the S1 expressway – Przybędza – Milówka
  • Tunnels within the S52 expressway – Northern Bypass of Krakow

Scope of services

Security and effective tunnel management

Tunnels are specific construction elements where the key priority is to maintain traffic flow and ensure the safety of users
during passage. Safety systems for tunnels play a very important role in ensuring optimum conditions for travellers and the effective management of possible emergency situations.

Our realisations include:

  • Tunnel ventilation system – mechanical part

  • Tunnel fire scenario

  • Basic, emergency and evacuation lighting system

  • Power distribution ELE MV in the substation

  • ELE LV energy distribution in the tunnel

  • Earthing and equipotential bonding in the tunnel and tunnel substation

  • UPS design of the tunnel

  • Hydrant system

  • Ventilation and air conditioning installation of the tunnel substation building

  • Lighting and power supply for the tunnel substation building

  • Sprinkler system

  • Tunnel drainage

  • Monitoring system for CO, NO2, clarity and velocity of air mass

  • Fire detection and alarm system

  • Alarm point system (SOS)

  • Uniformed services radio communication system

  • Audio system

  • Tunnel traffic control system

  • Tunnel traffic control system + area of influence (transport telematics)

  • Data transmission system

  • Antenna towers

  • Collective technical equipment

  • Telecommunications ducting in the tunnel

Completed projects

Tunnels in Poland

Over the past several years, we have equipped tunnels of key importance to the road infrastructure in Poland with advanced systems of safety and traffic control systems. See some of our realisations.
