TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

Tunnels and roads form the backbone of modern infrastructure, enabling seamless transportation and connectivity. Delivering reliable, efficient, and safe electrical systems is critical to the functionality and longevity of these complex projects. At Eldergate, we combine decades of engineering expertise with innovative solutions to be the trusted partner for delivering electrical systems tailored to the unique challenges of tunnels and roads.

Lighting, Power Distribution, and Safety Systems for Roads and Tunnels

Safety and operational efficiency in tunnels and on roads hinge on robust lighting and power distribution systems. Our solutions include:

• Energy-Efficient Lighting Systems: We design advanced lighting solutions that optimize visibility while reducing energy consumption. This includes LED lighting systems, adaptive lighting control based on traffic flow, and integration with centralized control platforms for real-time management.
• High-Reliability Power Distribution: Our designs account for redundancy and reliability, ensuring uninterrupted power supply for critical systems.
• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA): We develop SCADA systems that provide comprehensive monitoring and control of electrical infrastructure, enabling operators to manage power systems, ventilation, lighting, and emergency systems from a single interface.
• Automated Incident Detection: We design integrated automated incident detection (AID) platforms, enabling swift identification of traffic disruptions, fire, or equipment malfunctions.
• Ventilation and Smoke Control Systems: For tunnels, we design electrical systems to power and automate ventilation fans, ensuring air quality compliance and safety for all users.

Beyond the Basics: Comprehensive Infrastructure Solutions

Our expertise extends beyond core electrical systems for tunnels and roads, providing end-to-end solutions that enhance functionality, sustainability, and user experience:

• EV Charging Infrastructure: As electric vehicles grow in popularity, we design and integrate charging systems into road networks, supporting the transition to cleaner transportation.
• Smart Infrastructure Integration: From IoT sensors to AI-powered traffic management systems, we ensure that electrical systems are ready to integrate with smart infrastructure technologies.
• Renewable Energy Integration: Where feasible, we incorporate renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, for powering auxiliary systems, enhancing sustainability.

Case Study

For Heathrow’s Tunnel Remediation Program, we engineered electrical systems for traffic management, PAVA, and backup power integration. Our solutions ensured seamless functionality, safety, and efficient integration with existing infrastructure, setting a new standard for modern road and tunnel projects.

Also, for National Grid’s 32km cable tunnel in London, our engineers designed electrical systems for 13 control headhouses, including lighting, LV distribution, and earthing. Our solutions enhanced reliability and safety, setting a benchmark for sustainable and efficient tunnel infrastructure.
