Fire Safety Features in Singapore's Newest Transportation Tunnel

Extracted from The Straits Times on 28 Jan 2012:

Motorists driving through the new Woodsville Tunnel will be protected by state-of-the-art fire-fighting technology that can unleash a deluge of water at the touch of a button.

The $3.5 million system can be activated from a control centre, and is designed to tackle the flames before they have chance to grow too big.

Sensors and cameras have been fitted to alert staff, who can then switch on the sprinklers.

The tunnel, which opens today, will benefit motorists travelling along Upper Serangoon Road to Bendemeer Road, Serangoon Road to Upper Serangoon Road, and MacPherson Road to Bendemeer Road.
