Eynsham, Oxfordshire-based Telecom Technology International Ltd has installed a emergency telephone system for the Waterloo bridge to Kingsway tunnel in Central London, which mercifully reopened on Wednesday after an absurd two years six months’ closure to remove blue asbestos that would almost certainly never affected anybody unless they cycled through the tunnel every day for 200 years – to provide motorists with fast contact with the tunnel’s emergency call control room; the system provides the control room operators with a console based call control system; it pinpoints the source of each call within the tunnel and provides call handling options to enable controllers to guide emergency services to problem locations.
