• Reviewing the history of metro tunnels in Copenhagen to provide an overview of the current situation
• Revealing current safety work for the fire brigade in the planning, building and operational phases for enhancing safety within existing metro lines • Evaluating dilemmas of authority versus influence to better determine safety solutions and alternatives • Analysing safety in rail and road tunnels respectively to define the fire brigade’s role within optimise fire protection• Pinpointing threats to operational safety to ensure these are accounted for from the off set
• Revealing the triangle of tunnel safety as the key to optimising operational safety in your tunnel • Unveiling examples of safety and fire protection systems currently used to compare and contrast fire safety options • Evaluating safety and calamity organisational procedures to form the very best emergency response plan • Implementing an effective education, training and exercise programme to guarantee your staff are fully aware of correct procedures • Outlining incident facts to address what lessons must be learnt moving forward• Exploring why large scale fire testing is integral for determining accurate criteria
• Fully understanding how the size of fire impacts fire ventilation and structure to implement a comprehensive tunnel risk assessment • Effectively using full scale tunnel fire tests as a basis for new regulations • Assessing how design fires can best aid an accurate model for effective fire ventilation • Defining structural response through successful fire testing • Forecasting future needs of full scale fire testing to ensure continual developments within key areas of fire ventilation and structure• Outlining specific evacuation needs of the station to pinpoint the correct technology
• Discovering modern LED technology for efficient evacuation in difficult environments • Revealing tailor-made solutions to specific problems to minimise risk in your tunnel • Overcoming irrational human behavior in crisis situations to facilitate smooth evacuation • Developing a dynamic guiding system with advanced monitoring features that is integrated with the tunnel management system for overall enhanced safetyThe perfect opportunity to speak directly with our sponsors and attendees to network effectively. Remember to bring plenty of business cards!
• Outlining elementary statistics on railway fire safety in the EU
• Revealing the basic principles of rail tunnel safety regulations in Europe • Evaluating the revision of the Safety in Railway Tunnels TSI through assessment of scope, tasks and scheduling of the revision project • Uncovering your possibilities to influence the TSI revision process• Evaluating the challenge of designing a new interoperable railway link beneath the Cantabrian Cordillera to serve the industrial Asturias region in northern Spain
• Successfully achieving tunnel safety for tunnels with a flow of high-speed trains and dangerous goods freight mixed operations • Examining an in-depth tunnel risks assessment to identify the safety measures that must be taken into account • Effectively designing state-of-the-art and cost effective solutions to enable optimum tunnel safety performanceBypass Stockholm is a £2bn project that will extend for 21 kilometres between Kungens Kurva to the south of Stockholm and Häggvik, including 17 kilometres of tunnels. The construction is planned to start in 2012 and it will take eight years to build the highway. This session will look at:
• Uncovering the very latest assessment procedures for pinpointing which fire safety systems must be installed within Bypass Stockholm • Ensuring you incorporate a common standard of fire protection for all tunnels within the design phase • Successfully achieving the balance between active and passive fire protection measures for an effective and cost efficient approach towards fire safety • Successfully incorporating fire protection systems within tunnel management to achieve a holistic approach towards tunnel control• Implementing preventative rather than reactive fire safety measures through avoiding the fire from even occurring within the tunnel
• Enabling fire detection at full line speed to ensure the train on fire is stopped before entering the tunnel • Enhancing crucial communication and surveillance systems to report in real time for an immediate response once the fire is detected • Minimising reaction time to reduce the scale of the fire and bring in a guided intervention team as soon as possible • Pinpointing accurate fire detection systems key to ensure that the alarm will sound• Ensuring close liaison with your fire brigades during technical installations for mutual understanding of your tunnel fire protection systems
• Implementing joint training exercises to enable everyone to know whom to call and when • Guaranteeing your fire brigades can access the most remote areas of the tunnel in the quickest possible time to minimise fire spread • Achieving an integrated control plan that alerts the fire services as soon as the fire is detected to minimise time spent on communications and lead to quicker actionRail
