Heathrow Cargo Tunnel to be protected by Water Mist

IWMA Member VID Fire-Kill has been appointed Provider

The Heathrow Cargo Tunnel in London was built in the late 1960s underneath Heathrow Airport to connect the cargo terminal to the central terminal area. The tunnel is crucial in facilitating various vehicle movements throughout the busy airport grounds, including transferring passengers.

After more than half a century of service, it has been decided that the cargo tunnel requires major refurbishment work to extend the life of the tunnel and ensure its continued operations. VID Fire-Kill has been appointed as provider of the fire protection in combination with the refurbishment. VID Fire-Kill’s Low Pressure water mist TUNPROTEC tunnel solution will be installed in the 885 m long tunnel. The cargo tunnel is the first road tunnel in the UK to be equipped with a low-pressure water mist system.

The installation is expected to begin this June and will be carried out by XCell Misting Ltd, also a member of IWMA.
