Tunnel & Highway Control Systems Integrators
Underground isn’t just about what you can’t see—it’s about everything you need to trust.
When complexity meets clarity, safety becomes seamless
How we illuminate the underground
For over three decades, we’ve been the specialists who make tunnel environments not just functional, but brilliantly intuitive. Because when lives depend on systems working flawlessly, there’s no room for anything less than exceptional.
Tunnel environments are intricate ecosystems where multiple life-safety systems must operate in perfect harmony. We don’t just install technology—we orchestrate it. Our comprehensive solutions encompass every critical element that keeps tunnels running safely and efficiently:
Life-Safety & Detection Systems
- CCTV & incident detection that never misses a beat
- Fire detection & prevention systems with rapid response capability
- Instrumentation & environmental sensors monitoring every breath of air
Communication & Control
- Device communications that connect every component seamlessly
- Public address & radio systems ensuring clear messaging when it matters most
- SCADA & PLC integration for centralised intelligent control
- HMI interfaces that make complex operations intuitive
Lighting & Visibility
- Lighting & lighting control systems optimised for tunnel conditions
- Escape lighting & systems providing clear guidance in emergencies
- Lane control signage that adapts to real-time conditions
Infrastructure & Connectivity
- Networking & data communications forming the digital backbone
- Industrial automation that anticipates needs before they become problems
We’ve designed and installed hundreds of SCADA, PLC, lighting control systems and related infrastructure across tunnels throughout the UK and beyond. Our portfolio reads like a who’s who of critical transportation infrastructure:
Major UK Tunnel Projects:
- A27 Tunnel
- A55 North Wales Tunnels
- Blackwall Tunnel
- Butetown Tunnel
- Channel Tunnel Rail Link (HS1)
- Dartford Tunnel
- Dublin Port Tunnel
- East India Dock Tunnel
- Eltham Tunnel
- Fore Street Tunnel
- George Green / Green Man Tunnels
- Hanger Lane Tunnel
- Hindhead Tunnel
- London Underground (various locations)
- Medway Tunnel
- Mersey Tunnels
- Ramsgate Tunnel
- Rotherhithe Tunnel
- Tyne Tunnels
- Upper Thames Street Tunnel
Each project has taught us something new about the unique challenges that tunnel environments present. We’ve learned that no two tunnels are identical, but the principles of safety, reliability, and intelligent integration remain constant.
Why experience matters underground
Three decades in tunnel environments have shown us that complexity isn’t the enemy—confusion is. That’s why our approach focuses on creating systems that are sophisticated enough to handle every scenario, yet straightforward enough for operators to manage confidently.
We understand that when you’re responsible for tunnel operations, you need partners who grasp both the technical intricacies and the human factors at play. Our team speaks the language of engineering excellence whilst ensuring every solution remains accessible to those who operate it daily.
The underground advantage
Working in tunnel environments demands a different kind of thinking. Space is premium, conditions are challenging, and failure simply isn’t an option. We’ve built our reputation on delivering solutions that don’t just meet these challenges—they excel within them.
Our integrated approach means every component works in harmony with every other component. When your CCTV detects an incident, your lighting adjusts automatically. When environmental sensors detect changes, your ventilation responds accordingly. This isn’t just automation—it’s intelligent orchestration.
