Launch of new fire suppression solution in Africa slated for 2018

Fire-suppression solutions supplier Fire and Security Techniques is eager to introduce the African mining industry to a new fire-suppression solution, Tunnel Safe, which will allow for safer evacuation of mineworkers underground during a fire, to the African mining industry.  CEO Neil Hughes tells Mining Weekly that Tunnel Safe was developed over the past three years in Denmark, in conjunction with the Danish Institute of Fire Technology, and is due to undergo approval testing for use as a fire-suppression solution in very challenging tunnel environments. The company has recently acquired distributorship for the technology in Africa, with the target to begin distributing it to mining and other operations in Africa in late 2018.
