Tunnel Lighting Distribution Box Commissioning Standards
In order to cope with the extreme conditions, BS6164 provides valuable guidance on voltages, equipment enclosures, cabling, electrical protection and lighting systems to be used in tunnels. Within tunnels, where maintenance access can be limited, and where corrosive atmospheric conditions are common, reliable performance of the lighting system is critical, as is the need for the absolute minimum of operational maintenance requirements. Its design not only impacts driving safety and traffic efficiency but also directly affects energy consumption and maintenance costs. A well-thought-out brightness configuration, proper fixture layout, and integration. A pioneer in tunnel lighting, Schréder has designed and delivered lighting solutions for more than 1,000 tunnels worldwide, including Mont Blanc in France, Queens Midtown Tunnel in USA, Co Ma Tunnel in Vietnam, Velser Tunnel in the Netherlands and NorthConnex in Australia. In the UK, this is complemented by BS 5489-2:2016. For short tunnels (defined as those under 150m long), you can also find additional.
