Choosing the right cable for Transit Projects

In this webinar you will learn about NFPA 130 cable requirement for non-emergency and emergency circuit and how to select the proper cable for your Canadian transit project. We will also review installation requirement for emergency circuit and how to design emergency lighting in tunnel using UL2196/ULC S139 fire resistive cable system.

Gabriel Senechal is the Technical Product Manager at CERCO Cable.

Gabriel describes himself as "Passionate and Nerd about fire protection, fire prevention, mass transit project and engineering." 

He offers presentations to engineers, government, code authorities and builders on NFPA 130 cable requirement, NFPA 502 cable requirement, ULC S139 system and firestop through penetrations system and building joints systems.
