COST REDUCTION THROUGH ADDITIONAL FIRE PROTECTION

Use of fire protection systems safely and effectively


designed for Rail 2


Cost reduction by additional fire protection?

How is this possible?

Goal of the cost reduction

Verification fire test

designed for Rail 3


Current situation

Lack of holistic approach for fire protection system design

Vehicles and stations often considered separately

Fire scenarios of rail vehicle used as basis for design and

planning of stations

Expensive infrastructural design and planning

Change in philosophy in fire protection coinciding with 150th

anniversary of underground trains


designed for Rail 4


Points to be challenged:

1) Why do you reduce effects of fire scenarios by high infrastructural investments?

2) Is the allocation of large resources by applying enormous smoke ventilation

systems really needed?

2) Why are materials that tolerate very high temperatures for a long

period of time being used?

4) Does the architectural design need to be restricted due to fire

safety requirements?


designed for Rail 5


„Fight the cause, not the effect!“

What does this mean in detail?

Integration of innovative fire fighting technology to positively

influence the fire scenario

Fire fighting or reduce of impact directly at the fire source

Compensation from the infrastructure's side

Reduction of infrastructural requirements

Overall view of three product areas: rail vehicle, underground station

and tunnel


designed for Rail 6


The approach: „Fight the cause, not the effect!“

Increase of safety

Reduction of total costs

Increase of availability

Risk minimization

Flexible possibilities for architectural design
