Infrastructure, Transportation & Utilities.

Protecting transit hubs, telecom and utility sites from fire and intrusion.

Transit hubs, telecom sites and utility infrastructure are constantly in use by the public, with fire and security incidents carrying consequences far beyond a single building.

Transit hubs and utility sites carry different kinds of fire risk, from public crowding and lift shafts in a train station to equipment rooms and substations that run largely unattended.

Fire detection across transit hubs, telecom sites and utility infrastructure typically combines detection and evacuation systems designed for large public spaces and platforms with aspirating detection for lift shafts, plant rooms and unattended equipment cabins, which report automatically to a remote monitoring center rather than relying on on-site staff. Linear heat detection suits tunnels and cable routes, and aspirating detection can protect lift shafts and technical spaces.

Key Challenges

Constant public footfall through transit hubs and stations
Remote or unstaffed telecom and utility sites needing reliable monitoring
Protecting critical infrastructure against both fire and intrusion
Systems that keep working when they’re needed most

Other spaces we also protect

Every site has its own risks. These are the kinds of spaces we help keep safe.

Telecom & Utility

Telecom exchanges, substations and utility sites need continuous, reliable fire detection because the services they run cannot go offline.

Transportation

Stations, terminals and transport hubs combine large public spaces with technical areas, and need fire detection that copes with both.

How Kidde Global Solutions Helps

The systems that protect Infrastructure, Transportation & Utilities sites — organized by what they do, not by whose name is on them.

Fire Systems

Addressable Fire Detection

Stations, terminals, telecom exchanges and utility buildings with EN54 addressable detection.

Available throughKidde CommercialGST
Linear Heat Detection

Cable-based temperature monitoring for tunnels, cable routes and plant where other detection is not suitable. via Kidde Global Solutions

Aspirating Smoke Detection

In lift shafts and technical spaces, where a standard detector is hard to reach and maintain.

Available through AirSense, Kidde Commercial and Edwards: the same ModuLaser and MiniLaser technology under three brands. The Kidde Commercial version fits an APIC card that puts it on the Excellence addressable loop, and the Edwards version integrates with EST4.
