Aftermath of a Link Box explosion which caused two nearby cars to catch fire
Link boxes are installed in a pit beneath the pavement and contain a low voltage cable joint with a removable link. They are sealed with heavy concrete grids that you will see on pavements across the UK. There was a growing concern about link boxes as there was an issue with them exploding. In 2016 we designed our own innovative solution to mitigate the risks involved with link box explosions, the Link Box Blanket. The blanket is made with a Kevlar filling capable of absorbing the significant forces exerted during explosions, stopping the blast from ejecting concrete grids. The blanket smothers the link box and starves it of oxygen, subsequently mitigating the risk of fire
