The project consisted of designing and developing the safety systems for the tunnel. This included installing fire detection and gas extinguishing systems, a radio network with steel cable and a PLC-controlled general safety system. The project also involved cabling the access control and installing a BMS visualisation package.
Structural maintenance is vital for ensuring the proper functioning of all systems. This task is also being performed by Van den Berg for a 15-year period.
The Liefkenshoek rail link ICT project demonstrates Van den Berg's capacity to carry out a major project within a very short time frame.
