Unless otherwise stated the Contractor shall be responsible for all aspects of the Works described in
this specification.
this specification.
The Contractor, in addition to the detailed designs provided by the Designer, shall provide final
design where appropriate, supply, install, test and commission the following, hand-over the systems,
together with other associated equipment and cabling, as detailed in this specification, the main
items are:.
Fire main and breeching points

VAID (Video Automatic Incident Detection) systems in the tunnel
SCPs, EDPs, CCPs and EP (Smoke Control Panels, Electrical Distribution Panels,
Communication & Control Panels and Emergency Panels Distribution Panels) in the tunnel;
LHD DTS (linear heat detection distributed temperature sensing) in the tunnel
Plant room smoke and heat detection; and
Manual call points in tunnel, at the portals and in the drainage plant room
TSB (Tunnel Service Building) Fire Alarm and protection systems
Interfacing between the system
Interfacing to the PMCS/SCADA through to the CCTV
The implementation of these systems shall require the installation and interfacing with all the
appropriate Plant as necessary.
3.1. Video Automatic Incident Systems
A single combined VAID (Video Automatic Incident Detection) system will be provided
Rev. D02
Page 8 of 29
Video Automatic Incident detection system shall be provided to cover the following activities:
the Video Incident Detection including smoke as an incident

Pedestrians and animals
Stopped vehicle
Slow moving vehicle
Debris, detection size limit 0.125m3
Vehicle wrong way (Must be disabled when contra flow is initiated)
The requirements for this system are detailed in the VAID specification and layout drawings.
3.2. Emergency Points, Emergency Distribution Panels and Smoke Control Panel (EPs,
EDPs and SCPs)
Emergency Points (EPs) shall be provided along the nearside wall in the tunnel nominally every 50m
centres.
Electrical Distribution Panels (EDPs) shall be provided at eight EP locations, nominal 100m centres.
Communication & Control Panels will be located adjacent to EDPs.
Smoke Control Panels (SCPs) shall be provided at approximately 50 meters outside the portal
openings, in four locations. (At the approach and exit to each tunnel bore).
For layout and general material selections see UK HA DMRB BD78/99 Volume 2 section 2 page 8/12
