Our tailored range – designed to meet your needs

We design, manufacture, commission and maintain a complete range of road tunnel monitoring systems. Our instruments provide the data that is gathered and utilised by a tunnel ventilation control system. Such systems typically operate with automatic, pre-programmed, or manually controlled activation levels for fans or other HVAC systems.

Tunnel visibility monitors

Our tunnel monitors measure toxic gases, visibility and temperature within harsh tunnel environments.

Discover

Tunnel airflow monitors

Our Airflow monitors are considered crucial assets in any existing or new build tunnel system.

Discover

Tunnel gas monitors

Our gas monitors keep tunnel workers and drivers safe while helping road and tunnel owners comply with mandated government standards.

Discover

Tunnel luminance monitors

Our Luminance monitors measure the level of brightness at tunnel entrances / exits to maintain drivers' visual perception.

Discover

Tunnel illuminance monitors

Our illuminance photometers measure illuminance inside the tunnel bore to help maintain safe lighting conditions for drivers.

Superior road tunnel monitoring solutions

As global populations grow and existing road infrastructure become more congested, urban planners are increasingly turning to underground road tunnel networks to support smart city and regional expansion. Accurate and efficient monitoring of atmospheric conditions in tunnels using tunnel sensors is critical to ensuring the safety, health and wellbeing of those who use them. Supporting regulatory compliance and maintaining the longevity of the asset for road owners/operators.

New build tunnels

We work collaboratively with ventilation contractors and specialist integration partners to deliver the best possible road tunnel monitoring solutions to meet each project’s specifications, whether that is a fully integrated measurement system, a network of instruments, or a single sensor or component. We offer flexible solutions that allow for the nuances of each project.

Tunnel refurbishments

When tunnel infrastructure ages, structural components and auxiliary systems need to be upgraded. Every 10-15 years, tunnels generally undergo major refurbishments, including replacing electronics, lighting, controls, fire alarms and measurements systems.

Our team of specialists works closely with tunnel operators and their contractors to ensure that all replacement sensors and integrated systems are tailored to meet individual requirements and offer the most advanced technology available – providing accuracy and ongoing efficiency.
