Secure hold for fire protection panels

fischer’s fastening expertise comes in Hallepoort tunnel for carrying

Secure hold for fire protection panels
In addition to the installation of fire protection panels, the project includes the repair of damaged concrete structures and the raising of a partition wall between the opposite two-track directions. Added to this are the renewal of the roadway and sealing, a new and efficient ventilation system, additional emergency exits, the complete replacement of the tunnel lighting, cameras with licence plate recognition for detecting oversized vehicles and many other measures with the necessary technical equipment. The fire protection panels are mounted on a stainless steel substructure, which secures the Fischer FNA II ceiling nail, Fischer FAZ II bolt anchor and Fischer FUS universal rail system securely and firmly to the concrete walls and beams.

Property description

Construction time
From 2017 February to 2019 January
Designation:
The Hallepoort tunnel was named after the former Hallepoort city gate in Brussels.
Purpose
through traffic on the Small Ring and connects Munthofstraat with the Engelandstraat junction.
Our products meet all the necessary requirements for the fastening project.

With its permissible load of up to 2.4 kN, the low anchoring depth (in some cases only 25 mm) and the small bore diameter (6 mm), the FNA II combines safety with ease of installation and is often used in tunnel construction. The expansion clip provides the nail anchor with a firm hold as soon as it is inserted into the drill hole, so that it does not fall out during overhead mounting. The anchor can then be fastened quickly and easily by tapping. The solid shank cross-section ensures high load-bearing capacity. The installed nail anchor expands automatically under load.
Thanks to its high load-bearing capacity in concrete, the FAZ II is also ideal for tunnel construction applications, such as the anchoring of substructures for fire protection panels. According to the new ETA, the tensile and transverse load capacities have increased again (sizes M8 – M12), which enables fewer fastening points and lower costs. Its variable anchoring depths (sizes M8 – M16) can also be adapted to the loads to the millimetre. When the nut is tightened, the conical bolt is pulled into the expansion clip and tensions it firmly against the drill hole wall. At the same time, the loads are introduced into the concrete and the highest load-bearing capacity is achieved. Both the FNA II and FAZ II have the rating (ETA) as well as the fire resistance class R 120. Both steel anchors can be used in the pre- and through-hole installation, which is an advantage when installing anchor groups. Small axis and edge distances further facilitate processing.  
As is customary at fischer, our experts also look after the construction site around the clock, also in person on site, to solve any problems.

With the universal rail system FUS, supporting structures can be installed in addition to media lines. Thanks to clever geometry with pre-assembled connecting elements, the rails and extensive accessories can be connected to the desired constructions with a simple “click” mechanism. The fire resistance class R 120 and the fire test report in accordance with MLAR/EN 13501 ensure functional safety if a fire breaks out.
The fischer products are installed in corrosion-resistant stainless steel A4 versions. With their technical properties, the steel anchors and installation systems used meet all the necessary requirements to maintain and increase the safety of road users in the Hallepoort tunnel.
