TUNNEL SAFETY TESTING, S.A (TST) is a Spanish company, constituted in 2005, that operates in concession regime, the facilities of the Test center of "San Pedro de Anes". The Center as well as its facilities, belong to BARREDO FOUNDATION.

The fire and ventilation situations in tunnels are made by means of tests on real scale in an experimental tunnel.
The laboratory allows the test of ventilators of the types and sizes normally used in the tunnels and other facilities. The tests are made according to 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.
