We recently installed our Single Agent Automatic Fire Suppression System on an Atlas CopCo GA 132 VSD-FF1 Screw Compressor, enhancing fire safety in tunnelling operations.
The Single Agent system uses dry powder suppression to deliver fast and effective protection. The dry powder is distributed through strategically positioned nozzles inside the compressor housing, targeting areas where fire risks are highest.
Why Choose Fireward’s Single Agent Fire Suppression?
The Single Agent system offers rapid response and reliable fire suppression using proven dry powder technology:
Dry Powder rapidly knocks down flames and suppresses hidden fires in hard-to-reach areas, preventing further damage.
Indirect Release delivers the suppressant through nozzles positioned to provide maximum coverage inside the screw compressor.
Additional Features:
Sounder Beacon – Provides both visual and audible alerts when the system is activated
Equipment Shutdown – Automatically shuts down the compressor to prevent the fire from spreading
Manual Actuator – Allows operators to activate the system manually in an emergency

Fire Risks in Tunnelling Environments
Tunnelling sites present challenging conditions with confined spaces, limited ventilation, and the presence of flammable materials such as hydraulic oil, electrical cabling, and diesel-powered equipment. These high-risk environments mean even a small fire can escalate rapidly, posing serious safety risks and causing significant project delays. A fire suppression system is essential to protect both equipment and personnel underground.
