TUNNEL SAFETY TESTING, S.A (TST) est une entreprise espagnole, fondée en 2005, qui opère selon un régime de concession. Le Centre, ainsi que les installations du Centre Expérimental de &am

Les situations de feu et de ventilation en tunnels se reproduisent au moyen d’essais à échelle réelle au sein d´un tunnel expérimental. Le laboratoire permet de réaliser des essais sur les ventilateurs, en fonction des types et des dimensions normalement utilisés dans les tunnels et autres installations. Les essais sont réalisés selon EN12101-3:2002.

EUROTUNEL FIRE TEST CAMPAIGN AT SAN PEDRO DE ANES EXPERIMENTAL CENTREental Center

14 - 07 - 11

 

A large fire full-scale test campaign has been developed by FOGTEC at the San Pedro de Anes Experimental Center. These tests have been contracted by FOGTEC to Tunnel Safety Testing (TST) to demonstrate the performance of their water mist systems in similar conditions to the ones found in the Eurotunnel. Along the first four months of 2010, the TST experimental tunnel was specially adapted and conditioned to simulate the characteristic of the Channel tunnel and finally during March-April a series of fire tests reaching up to 200 MW were carried out, with the complete satisfaction of EUROTUNNEL and FOGTEC. These tests are among the largest ever carried out in experimental tunnels across the world, and have required a careful planning and design of the test programme.
