One of the biggest challenges with railway tunnel safety is the scenario of accidents involving a fire. Due to the spatial limitations of rail tunnel environments, tunnel fires render all escape, rescue, and repair measures rather difficult, and are hence regarded to be the greatest risk to people, vehicles, and the tunnel structure itself.

ECO Tunneling offers solutions to better mitigate this risk in the most serious of circumstances. Safe escape routes, fire load containment along escape and rescue routes, and the integrity of electrical systems are some of the key elements of underground transport system safety that we support.
