Welcome to the 2nd annual

Fire Protection and Safety in Tunnels 2010

Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th  October 2010

Exploring key innovations for designing, implementing and upgrading tunnel fire safety

As rail and road safety standards increasingly tighten, it is crucial that your tunnel optimises its fire protection systems to avoid the imminent threat of costly closures and public disruption. Tunnel owners and infrastructure managers must act now to ensure the design and implementation of the very best fire safety strategies for fire prevention, suppression and damage limitation.

Following its immense success in 2009, Fire Protection and Safety in Tunnels now returns for its second year to provide you with the perfect platform for exploring cutting edge safety solutions that will enhance fire protection in old and new tunnels. This highly acclaimed event will draw together a host of tunnel operators, designers, engineers and legislators from across Europe to determine the most time efficient, cost effective approach to minimising fire risk in your tunnel.

With a vast number of new tunnels being commissioned to create faster routes across Europe, be sure not to miss out on our pre-conference focus day ‘Tunnel Design and Construction’.  Through interactive presentations, case studies and panel discussions, this focus day guarantees to present you with the unique opportunity to explore innovative tunneling solutions that will significantly improve the service life and safety standards of your tunnel infrastructure, at lower implementation and maintenance costs. 

Key Benefits of Attending

• Define the key steps for implementing safety legislation and driving forward fire protection strategies
• In-depth studies of risk profiles for older tunnels to successfully implement an accurate cost/benefit analysis before retrofits
• Analyse human behaviour in tunnel design to optimise safety through implementation of effective evacuation procedures
• Identify leading technologies and strategies for fire prevention and suppression to protect your tunnel against costly fire damage
• Choose from a range of roundtables, industry specific streams and international case studies for pivotal discussions essential to solving fire safety issues for your tunnel
