Firefighting systems are increasingly being constructed and operated in road tunnels in a wide range of countries. However the reason for use is varies greatly from system to system; in the end it comes down to the choice of system. In 2014, ASFINAG is constructing the first firefighting system on the highway network in Austria in the City Tunnel near Bregenz. By 2017 at least one more system will be constructed - the one in the Arlberg Road Tunnel. So far two systems have already been fitted in Austria, one in the Felbertauem Tunnel and one in the Mona Lisa Tunnel. The plans and choice of system have been discussed and decided with a focus on the latest guidelines and technologies; parameters such as route availability, maintenance frequency, pressure levels, water volumes, the drainage system, etc. were the crucial basic factors. Since the "Fixed Extinguishing Systems" data sheet did not set any binding guidelines in Austria, the new RVS 09.02.51 Fixed Firefighting Systems was created for ASFINAG's efforts based on the previous data sheet.
