Provide the automation system for keeping the longest tunnel in the Balkans, in optimal safety conditions.

SOLUTION

• Central CPU: S7-400H
• Remote IO: ET200S
• Scada: WinCC OA

RESULT

Integrated total solutions that meet stringent safety requirements.

Subcontractors for SIEMENS for the automation of the SCADA/TMS system for the three tunnels under construction in the region “Tempi Valley”.

The 3 tunnels have a total length of 11 km (2km, 3km, and 6km). The third one is the longest in the Balkans and bypasses the winding and rock slide – plagued Tempi Valley on the main Athens-Thessaloniki highway.

The project has more than 10.000 control points. The automation is supervising and controlling the following tunnel subsystems: Lighting, Ventilation, Fire Detection, Fire Fighting, CCTV, Emergency Roadside Telephones, Radio communication, Power Supply distribution system, EDGs, Network Supervision, Traffic Data Counting System and Traffic Management System (TMS).

Subcontractors for SIEMENS for the automation of the SCADA/TMS system for the three tunnels in the region Tempi Valley and Platamonas.

The 3 tunnels have a total length of 11 km (2km, 3km, and 6km). The third one is the longest in the Balkans and bypasses the winding and rock slide – plagued Tempi Valley on the main Athens-Thessaloniki highway. There are more than 20.000 physical control points and network measurements.

The automation is supervising and controlling the following tunnel subsystems:

• Lighting
• Ventilation
• Fire Detection
• Fire Fighting
• CCTV
• Emergency Roadside telephones
• Radio communication
• Supervision of Low voltage network
• Management and supervision of Medium voltage network
• Supervision of Ethernet network
• Supervision of automation material
• Power Supply distribution system
• Traffic Data Counting System and Traffic Management System (TMS)

This is a major infrastructure project for Greece with major benefits. The drivers are experiencing uninterrupted and constant traffic flow even in adverse weather conditions, cleanliness and respect for the surrounding area and maximum road safety and economy! At the same time, the region benefit from the provision of many direct and indirect jobs and environmental protection of the Tempi Valley due to reduced pollution levels!
