ML Tunnel X-Section Configurations for CFS Requirements

This presentation discusses the requirements for fire protection, life safety, and egress in ML tunnel x-sections with CFS. It also explores the current Asian life safety and egress design and the need for adjustments in passageway design and shield wall thickness.

  1. LCWS15 Options for ML Tunnel X-Sections with CFS Requirements November 3, 2015 V Kuchler

  2. Overview • Previously Considered ML Tunnel X-Section Configurations • Requirements for Fire Protection, Life Safety and Egress • Conclusions LCWS15 - Whistler, BC, Canada

  4. Current ML Asian Life Safety and Egress Design • Crossover Passageways Between the Accelerator and Service Tunnels are Provided Every 500 m • Each Passageway has a Self Closing Fire Door Which Protects the Passageway in the Event of Fire • The Accelerator and Service Tunnels are Independently Ventilated which Switches to a Smoke Exhaust Function in the Event of Fire • While there is No Sprinkler System, the ML Tunnels are Equipped with the Following Standard Emergency Equipment: • Smoke Detection and Fire Detection Systems • Fire Alarm System • Emergency Lighting System • Emergency Illuminated Exit Signs • Emergency Exit Guide Lights • Fire Extinguishers LCWS15 - Whistler, BC, Canada

  5. Current ML Asian Life Safety and Egress Design • The Shield Wall does Need to Be Thick Enough to Provide an Adequate Fire Rating • The Table Below Indicates this Should not be a Problem in General • However, the Passageway Design Should be Reviewed in Light of Any Decision Made Here Today LCWS15 - Whistler, BC, Canada

  6. Current ML Asian Life Safety and Egress Design • This is the Current Passageway Configuration LCWS15 - Whistler, BC, Canada

  7. Conclusions • From the Conventional Facilities Perspective, Reducing the Width of the Shield Wall will have No Effect on the Current Asian Life Safety and Egress Systems and Design • The Passageway Design will Need to be Reviewed and Adjusted as Necessary to Provide the Necessary Wall Thickness for Fire Rating, However I Suspect that the Shielding Requirements will be More Stringent • This May Result in the Need to Widen the Shield Wall and Consequently the Service Tunnel To Maintain a Uniform Service Tunnel Width • This Issue will Require Further CFS Review and Study Once a Final Shield Wall Thickness is Determined LCWS15 - Whistler, BC, Canada
