Dr Ricky Carvel’s Tunnel Fire Safety short course

August 2, 2023 - August 3, 2023

 

World renowned fire science researcher and educator, Dr Ricky Carvel presented a one-day course intended as a primer for engineers or fire professionals entering, or wanting more erudite exposure to, the field of tunnel fire safety. It covered basic fire concepts for non-fire people and basic tunnel concepts for non-tunnel people, and then put these together to explain how fires behave in the tunnel environment. Real tunnel fire behaviour is explored through case studies, and topics such as fire suppression, fire fighting, egress and rescue. The course enabled staff members of tunnel owners, operators and responders to better understand the design, operational and emergency response issues around fire-safe tunnels and systems and encouraged designers and contractors to think more deeply than the standard answers.
