Secure hold for fire protection boards

fischer fastening expertise comes into play in the Hallepoort Tunnel

Secure hold for fire protection boards
The project includes, in addition to the installation of fire protection panels, the repair of damaged concrete structures and the erection of a partition wall between the opposite, each two-lane directions. Added to this are the renewal of the roadway and waterproofing, a new and efficient ventilation system, additional emergency exits, the complete replacement of tunnel lighting, cameras with license plate recognition for capturing oversized vehicles, and many other measures along with the necessary technical equipment. The fire protection panels are mounted on a stainless steel substructure, which securely and firmly fixes fischer ceiling nails FNA II, fischer bolt anchors FAZ II, and the fischer universal rail system FUS to the concrete walls and beams.

Property Data Sheet

Construction Period
From February 2017 to January 2019
Naming
The Hallepoort Tunnel was named after the former city gate Hallepoort in Brussels.
Purpose
Through traffic on the Kleine Ring and connects the Munthofstraat with the Engelandstraat intersection.
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 drill diameter (6 mm), the FNA II combines safety with ease of installation and is often used in tunnel construction. The expansion clip gives the nail anchor firm hold as soon as it is inserted into the drill hole, preventing it from falling out during overhead installation. The dowel can then be easily and quickly fixed by impact installation. The massive shaft cross-section ensures high load capacity. Under load, the installed nail anchor independently expands.
Thanks to its high load capacity in concrete, the FAZ II is also ideal for applications in tunnel construction, such as anchoring substructures for fire protection boards. According to the new ETA, the tensile and shear capacities have increased again (sizes M8 - M12), allowing fewer fastening points and lower costs. Its variable anchoring depths (sizes M8 - M16) can also be adjusted to the loads with millimeter precision. When tightening the nut, the cone bolt is pulled into the expansion clip and clamps it firmly against the drill hole wall. At the same time, the loads are transferred to the concrete, achieving the highest load capacity. Both the FNA II and the FAZ II have both the assessment (ETA) and the fire resistance class R 120. Both steel anchors can be installed not only in pre-installation but also in through-installation, which is advantageous for the installation of groups of dowels. Small axial and edge distances additionally facilitate processing.  
As is common at fischer, our experts also support the construction site around the clock, personally on site, to solve any possible problems.

With the universal rail system FUS, not only media lines but also supporting structures can be installed. Thanks to clever geometry with pre-assembled connecting elements, the rails and extensive accessories can be connected to the desired structures using a simple "Clix" mechanism. The fire resistance class R 120 and the fire test report according to MLAR/EN 13501 ensure functional safety in case of fire.
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 necessary requirements to maintain and enhance the safety of road users in the Hallepoort Tunnel.
