Tunnels

Tunnels and underpasses are key elements of road infrastructure that enable safe and efficient communication between different areas, often divided by natural obstacles such as mountains or rivers. Proper lighting in these structures is essential for ensuring the safety of road users. SunFiber technology, which brings natural sunlight indoors, offers numerous benefits for tunnels and underpasses, bringing savings and improving lighting conditions.

Reduction of Infrastructure Costs

Tunnels are infrastructure objects that are often located far from power grids. Traditional lighting for such structures requires long and expensive power connections, significantly increasing investment costs. By using SunFiber technology, these expenses can be reduced as this system does not require electrical power to operate. SunFiber transports natural sunlight directly into the tunnel, eliminating the need for costly power networks. This allows municipalities and infrastructure managers to save significant amounts during both construction and operation phases.

Lower Risk of Driver Glare

One of the major problems associated with tunnel lighting is the risk of driver glare when exiting the tunnel into open space. The difference in light intensity between the interior of the tunnel and the exterior can cause temporary blindness, increasing the risk of accidents. Natural light provided by SunFiber allows for a smoother transition between the lighting inside the tunnel and the outside light. This significantly reduces the risk of glare, enhancing the safety of road users. Additionally, natural light is more eye-friendly, increasing driving comfort.

Lower Lighting Costs

Using SunFiber in tunnels and underpasses brings tangible savings for municipalities and infrastructure managers. Traditional lighting systems in tunnels generate high electricity costs, especially in structures that need to be lit around the clock. SunFiber utilizes natural sunlight, significantly reducing the need for artificial lighting and lowering electricity bills. In the long term, investing in SunFiber brings substantial savings that can be allocated to other infrastructure development goals.

Eco-Friendly Solution

Using SunFiber technology in tunnels and underpasses supports an eco-friendly approach to infrastructure management. Natural sunlight is a renewable energy source that does not emit harmful substances or deplete natural resources. By using SunFiber, municipalities can reduce their reliance on electrical power and contribute to environmental protection. This eco-friendly solution is also beneficial for the image of the municipality as a modern and environmentally responsible administrative unit.

Improved Working Conditions in Tunnels

Natural light provided by SunFiber also improves working conditions for employees responsible for maintaining tunnels and underpasses. Bright and natural lighting facilitates daily tasks such as maintenance and repairs. Employees can work in more comfortable conditions, positively impacting their productivity and well-being. This allows the tunnel to be better maintained, translating into longer lifespan and safety of use.
