Fires in road tunnels present challenges for those designing and operating these important items of critical infrastructure. The confinement of the tunnel and the potential for multiple sources of combustible materials produce severe fire loads on structure, and difficulties for those evacuating or needing access to carry out firefighting and rescue activities. In our latest […]
