What is Vitreous Enamel? Vitreous enamel, also called porcelain enamel, is defined as a substantially vitreous or glassy inorganic coating bonded to metal by fusion at a temperature above 800 C. VE composition Top coat 0,12 mm Ground coat 0,10 mm Steelsheet Ground coat 0,10 mm back
Why VE cladding in road tunnel
VE - claddings advantages Tunnel wall cladding out of VE helps saving lives.. Protection of the tunnel wall Protection of tunnel infrastructure Better orientation after failure of lighting Bright surface no tunnel phobias less accidents Keeps the roadway clean no water or icing-up on the lanes.. and helps saving costs Extreme long lifespan with constant quality (e.g. color, glossy, white content, reflectivity, etc.) Potential for cost savings in terms of maintenance and care Easy to clean Easy installation and changeability Low reconstruction costs after case of fire Bright surface less energy costs due to less lighting
VE - claddings advantages LIFETIME / MAINTENANCE Lifetime of 40 to 60 years is usual. Enameled surfaces are almost maintenance free. Due to the glass hard and resistant surface the aggressive tunnel environment cannot harm the surface. Even regular cleaning is does not shorten the lifetime. In comparison with other tunnel cladding (paint, concrete etc.) higher initial costs redeem after 10 years. CORROSION RESISTANCE Panels are fully covered and fully resistant. Panels are resistant to acids and to all cleaning agents as well as exhaust emissions occurring concentrated in tunnels (nitrogen oxides), rubber wear, brake dust, road salt emulsions, chlorides. EASY TO CLEAN Even water is sufficient for cleaning on a regular base. In tunnels time saving cleaning vehicles with spinning brushes are used no road closure; no lane restrictions.
VE - claddings advantages NOT BURNABLE / NOT FLAMMABLE / NO TOXIC FUMES VE panels are resistant against temperatures up to 1.000 C and can protect the tunnel wall against direct fire. SIGNS AND EMERGENCY EXIT SIGNS The process of silk-screen printing allows to realize warning and safety signs using ceramic colors (e.g. running man). Same life time is guaranteed. HIT SAFE, DURABLE ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY AND RECYCABLE The production of VE panels is done with environmentally friendly materials and processes. All There are no naturally contain substances of concern. Enameled steel products are fully recyclable and are unproblematic melted. ULTRAVIOLET RESISTANT EASY AND QUICK INSTALLATION / INTERCHANGEABLE PANELS Installation of structure and panels is quick and easy using state of the art equipment (transport, moving and lifting tools). Even for interchanging panels which have been damaged after an accident.

Static calculation
Static calculation Omeras can provide the design of the complete lining system from planning incl. static calculation, measurement, production and installation. The static calculation defines the thickness and stability of the structure and panels depending from the requirements as wind suction and pressure. This is normally 1,5 kn/m2. Omerashas already supplied tunnel lining systems up to 4 kn/ m2 (tunnel Roppen, Austria).
installation
Installation Substructure and panels create a stable and dynamically tested system Installation with specially designed lifting technology for flat and curved panels in one lane Efficient installation with minimal personnel
Installation Special panels(e.g. cut outs) for signage and signalling installation are already produced and manufactures in the factory(after measuremnent on site).

omeras summary The VE cladding is not flammable and helps protecting the wall even in case of fire. The reconstruction costs after case of fire are lower. Using trucks with spinning brushs allows easy cleaning of VE panels with very little detergents and ensures permanent bright walls with extreme long lifetime (more than 40 years). Side effect is reduction of energy expenditure. Surfaces are resistant against acids, salts, detergents, nitric oxide, brake wear and do not static charge themselves. All advantages can be assigned for warning and safety signs, which are fired with 840 C, too. Wall cladding out of VE cover and protect wirings, conduit systems as well as the concrete wall itself. Panels can be produced perforated for sound absorbing areas. The bright VE surface can help reducing tunnel phobia. Due to colored panels the driver attention in the tunnels can be improved.
