Innovative Technologies to Upgrade Fire Safety of Existing Tunnels
10.1002/best.200810116.abs
A European research program called UPTUN, incorporating 41 partners, takes care on the fire protection of tunnels. The main objectives of this program are “Development of innovative technologies to upgrade fire safety of existing tunnels.” Tunnel fires may release huge amount of energy. The recent fires in Europe have demonstrated that the energy generated by a fire can be as much as 30–150 Megawatts. In addition, there are requirements for protecting against such events. This paper shows developments within the project according to a) fire and smoke as well as toxicity monitoring systems, and b) efficient techniques increasing the fire protection. Associated investigations are performed in close collaboration with industrial partners and universities in laboratories and existing tunnels.
