Video Automatic Incident detection system shall be provided to cover the following activities:
The requirements for this system are detailed in the VAID specification and layout drawings.
3.2. Emergency Points, Emergency Distribution Panels and Smoke Control Panel (EPs,
EDPs and SCPs)
Emergency Points (EPs) shall be provided along the nearside wall in the tunnel nominally every 50m
centres.
Electrical Distribution Panels (EDPs) shall be provided at eight EP locations, nominal 100m centres.
Communication & Control Panels will be located adjacent to EDPs.
Smoke Control Panels (SCPs) shall be provided at approximately 50 meters outside the portal
openings, in four locations. (At the approach and exit to each tunnel bore).
For layout and general material selections see UK HA DMRB BD78/99 Volume 2 section 2 page 8/12

extinguisher enclosures shall be fitted with hinged self-closing doors. All doors shall be fitted with
micro switches, linked to the SCADA system via the distributed PLC system to alarm when a door is
opened.

The Contractor shall co-ordinate the EPs, CCPs and EDPs design and materials specification with the
Cable Ways as detailed in project information.
The EPs, CCPs and EDPs shall be integrated into the design and installation of the Cable Way such
that there is a seamless transition.
The Contractor shall co-ordinate the design of the EPs, CCPs and EDPs with the requirements of all
services which shall be located in these areas to ensure all Plant can be installed, operated and
maintained.
4.3. Scope of the Linear Heat Detection Works
The Works associated with the linear heat detection includes the following main items:
Two LHD DTS control units shall be installed in the TSB that will provide temperature monitoring and
alarms including an audible alarm, one control unit for each bore.
Each LHD DTS control unit shall be fitted with interface modules to provide outputs for a separate
bore Fire Alarm Interface Panel (FAIP). These panels shall be supplied and installed by the Contractor
in the Tunnel Service Building.
The Contractor shall configure each control unit to provide the required hardwired fire detection
zones for each bore, using a PC with windows software.
Preliminary indications are that the following indicative fire alarm zone quantities will be required:
1. North bound bore: Fire zones to match the VAID zones withinin the bore (LHD, VAID
(smoke), BG units) plus 2 zones for the pump plant room and the containment sump.
2. South bound bore: Fire zones to match the VAID zones withinin the bore.
3. Tunnel Service Building: 10 zones plus other plant areas
Setting zone lengths and alarm thresholds together with system calibration shall be performed using
the Windows software. The zone settings and alarm thresholds shall be adjustable through this
facility at a future date if required.
Each zone of each bore shall have a pre-alarm and a main alarm and any available system alarms.
The zones shall cover starting at the entry portal and have a nominal length of 50 metres and shall
coincide with the VAID incident zones designed for that system.
The Contractor shall also configure the control units to provide detection of a fire in the VAID
incident smoke detection zones. These VAID smoke incident detection zones will be presented to the
Doc. No. EXW-P007-0201-MC-KEO-RP-00216
Rev. D02
Page 13 of 29
each FAIP in the TSB either via a hardwired relay interface or as a series of addressable alarm
registers through a communications interface.
An audible voice alarm which shall be initiated from the SCADA through the PAVA via the integrated
fire alarm system and this alarm shall be generated within each bore separately.
Each LHD DTS detection zone shall be programmed with a fixed temperature alarm threshold plus a
rate of rise alarm setting. The rate of rise setting shall be determined following site monitoring. The
rate of rise function shall be adjustable in terms of rate of change with time and number of iterative
counts, to eliminate false alarms.
The fibre optic cable shall be designed as a loop system, with both ends of the loop connected to the
LHD DTS control unit, such that any break in the sensor cable shall automatically be detected and the
system shall operate as two single ended sensors.
The fibre optic cable shall be installed in the tunnel crown on a 100mm cable tray, and be run as one
continuous loop starting and ending at a junction box located in the tunnel and connected to the TSB
via cold ends.
The linear heat detection system control unit shall be connected to the junction box using
