Fire safety themes in infrastructure projectsNew tunnels or renovation of existing tunnels.Historic monuments.Tunnels in an urban environment. Double stacked tunnel (2 x 2).Fire control: ventilation, FFFS.Installations: availability, reliability.

ARCADIS experience with fire safetyRoad tunnels: A2 Maastricht, Maastunnel Rotterdam, Groningen (COCO), Emmen, IJTunnel, Coentunnel.Rail tunnels: Betuweroute, Nijverdal.Multi-purpose tunnels: Piet Heintunnel (tram road), Nijverdal (rail road).Metro tunnels: Renovation Eastern Metro Line Amsterdam, North/South Line Amsterdam.Infrastructure nodal points: Amsterdam Sloterdijk, IJsei Amsterdam CS.

ARCADIS works for both Infra provider and Contractor.

Dia 4Dia 4Dia 4Stakeholders: Infra provider: Users safety, planning, budget, reliability / availability system.Project organisation.Operator.Owner rolling stock.Licensing authority: Users safety, structural integrity.Emergency rescue services: Users safety, safe approach incident area.Interests of the stakeholders

FSE approachHow to prove fire safety in the Netherlands?Standard buildings: Prescriptions of the Dutch Building Code 2012.Large fire compartment (> 1000 m2): Principle of equivalence with the Dutch Building Code.

Principle of equivalence, to be proved by:Detection, alarm and activation.Safe egress RSET < ASET.Adequate rescue operations.

Everything is different from an undisturbed exploitation!LightingLighting on platforms.Accent on emergency exits.Floor lighting.

Lighting of platformsDim the lighting on the platforms.Enhance the lighting around the exits.

Accent lighting of emergency exitsExtra light accent on emergency exits next to the normal exits.

Low location floor lightingOverall: platforms or tunnels.Dynamic or static.

Ontruiming Stations14 mei 2012|14 mei 2012|ARCADIS201212SoundAlternate messages with slow-whoop.

Type of message:Imperious. Compulsory speaking.No fake messages.

Ontruiming Stations14 mei 2012|14 mei 2012|ARCADIS201213InformationChange the dynamic travel information panels.Switch off the advertorial panels.Give information about the emergency.

Ontruiming Stations14 mei 2012|14 mei 2012|ARCADIS201214

Change the dynamic travel information panelsImperious message. The traffic must stop as well. Be consequent till outside / safe place.

Ontruiming Stations14 mei 2012|14 mei 2012|ARCADIS201215

Advertorial panelsUse them to enhance the emergency situation.Give guidance or directions.

Elevators and escalatorsStop the elevators at the proper place.(Slow)-stop the escalators that work against the exit directions.Keep the other escalators working.

Light accent exitsAccent on stairs and escalators.Dim the light around elevators.

Renovation Eastern Line Metro Amsterdam|7 October 2011|ARCADIS2011Slide 26Dia 26Questions:Is it safe to close some of the exits?How many?Which one?Approach:Analysis geometric data of the station.Egress possibilities with and without fire.

Renovation Eastern Line Metro Amsterdam|7 October 2011|ARCADIS2011Slide 27Dia 27Results:Bottlenecks on the platform; the stairs capacity increases along the escape route.Some exits may be closed, BUT compensate with good visibility.

Connection with North/South-Line Metro Amsterdam|17 mei 2011|ARCADIS2011Dia 29Dia 29Project: Connection between the two metro lines: the old Eastern Line and the new North/South-Line.Question: Fire safety at different building stages.Complex geometrical situation / building.Scenario: fire in metro.Egress analyses.Results: The connection is safe and can be realised. North/South-Line does not hamper the safe use of the Eastern Line.

* supports the interests of all stakeholders.

* offers integral solutions.

* uses FSE as part of big infra projects.
