As members of the UK Tunnel Forum, ECL are in regular contact with all UK tunnel operators and pride themselves as being at the forefront of innovation and technology with regards to tunnel linings.

A number of different systems are available from ECL, all of which have been designed and fully tested. These systems offer low maintenance, high fire performance and fully proven mechanical performance. Care has been taken in the design of these systems to ensure that future innovation can be incorporated without major re-fits, in particular active fire protection.

In the complicated tunnel market, ECL stands out as unique in the type of service offered and support given pre-contract to the client. The market is very technical and specialised and, as market leaders, ECL take their responsibility very seriously to ensure that tomorrow’s technology can be delivered today. By offering fully indemnified systems which are designed by internationally recognised consultants and tested using recognised international test houses, ECL ensure that the client obtains a product which is bespoke to their needs, fit for purpose and warranted to protect the client’s commercial interests. There are no short-cuts in the tunnel market and specialist knowledge is required which takes years of experience to obtain.

There are no limitations to the flexibility of the systems offered by ECL and a wide range of materials can be incorporated to suit the specific requirements of the project.

ECL welcome early involvement in projects and the free of charge consultation service will prove invaluable to clients and consultants alike. ECL take pride in the service offered and impartial guidance given.
