Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng | | Dutch term or phrase: RWS | Voor de bekabeling van de technische installaties van het viaduct moeten de hoofd-kabelbanen op een zodanige plaatst aangebracht worden, dat de kabels enerzijds goed bereikbaar zijn en anderzijds toch voldoende beschermd zijn tegen mechanische beschadiging en tegen brand (RWS 2 uur) op het onder- en bovendek.
The only remotely related term I've been able to find is Rijkswaterstaat, which doesn't make much sense in the context of fire in a document about a building project in Belgium. "2 hours" doesn't make any sense to me either.
Thanks for helping me out! |

The RWS curve was based on the results of testing carried out by TNO in the Netherlands in 1979.
