Fire Barriers From Foamrox

In Short

What Is a Fire Barrier?

A fire barrier is a passive fire protection system designed to compartmentalize fire and smoke, preventing their spread between different sections of a tunnel or building. Foamrox fire barriers are prefabricated from Foam Glass, providing a lightweight yet robust solution that ensures critical infrastructure remains protected and accessible during an emergency.

The Principle Behind the Solution

How It Works

Foamrox provides prefabricated fire barriers engineered to fit perfectly within their designated tunnel locations. By utilizing rock profile scans provided by the client, we precision-tailor each element to match the natural contours and irregularities of the rock surface. This customized approach generates significant logistical advantages and drastically reduces on-site installation time. All Foamrox fire barriers are EI60 certified, ensuring a final installation that is 100% fire- and smoke-tight.

Customer Feedback

Read general feedback on our customers' experiences with quality, progress, and performance when using Foamrox products.

The benefits of using Foamrox emergency cabinet frames include low weight, ease of manual installation without the need for machinery, significant time savings, and excellent HSE.

Njål Sund, Mesta

We like people who try new things, and I believe Foamrox has a major advantage in the time saved during installation—and for us, time is money. The fact that it is also an environmentally friendly product is a significant plus for us.

Martin Hefre, Hæhre Entreprenør

The choice of Foamrox products was made with both the practical execution of the construction phase and future operations in mind. The elements are exceptionally lightweight, which has resulted in significant savings in man-hours and a more efficient, safer installation process within the tunnel. This has been of great value during construction. At the same time, these solutions provide a clear positive contribution to the project's carbon footprint, with approximately a 50 percent reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to low-carbon concrete Class B.

Fire barriers and cross-passages are critical elements of tunnel safety. These are solutions you hopefully never have to use—but they must perform 100 percent when it matters most. Foamrox delivers robust solutions that meet these requirements effectively. Our collaboration with Foamrox has been excellent throughout the project phase, characterized by strong follow-up, high availability, and a solution-oriented partnership.
