Dan explained that the first task was to fix 14km of autotransformer feeder (ATF), a large 65mm diameter cable fixed to the tunnel wall every two metres to 7,000 anchors and cleats that had been fixed in the pre- STAD work programme. This is part of the 50kV autotransformer power system that reduces transmission losses compared with a conventional 25kV system. See David Shirres’ explanation of electrification systems adjacent to this article. Within cable transit tunnels, Durasteel systems can be used to provide transverse barriers, inclusive of access doorways and penetration sealing systems, this prevent fire travelling along the cable ways. The Durasteel barriers can also be constructed so as to separate tunnels into two or more distinct compartments, thus further reducing the risk of losing important services to fire.

The ventilation of the utility tunnel has been studied before. Curiel-Esparza and Canto-Perello [ 19] studied the ventilation of utility tunnel to reduce the harm of air pollution and provide a safe and healthy environment. Legrand et al. [ 20] proposed a multi standard method to make the utility tunnel safer and more sustainable, and studied the impact of the drainage network location on the total cost of the utility tunnel. However, there are some problems in the study of fire characteristics of cable compartment in utility tunnel. Firstly, the type of fire source in the cable compartment of utility tunnel is linear and square, and there are some differences in the temperature distribution in the cable compartment. Second, the location of the cable fire in the cable compartment of the utility tunnel may be close to one end of the shaft. Different longitudinal locations of fire sources have different effects on the development of cable indoor fire. Third, the constant temperature alarm device is used in the cable compartment of utility tunnel to reach the set alarm temperature, the transmission and exhaust port of the cable compartment of utility tunnel will be closed, so that the cable compartment forms a closed space. In this case, a special fire will occur in the cable compartment of utility tunnel. Therefore, it is of important significance to study the fire characteristics of fire smoke in the cable compartment of utility tunnel. Fix a total of 22 expansion joints into the conductor beam – these expansion joints, a bit like fish-plated joints, are made from aluminium, weigh 100kg, and are approximately two metres long with a sliding mechanism inside.

In the past few years, a series of fire tests in cable tunnels have increased significantly after deadly tunnel fires in Europe. Unlike small-scale tests [ 11] and large-scale tests (such as those conducted in Zwenberg (Austria), Ofenegg(Switzerland), or Finland [ 12]), the Memorial tunnel experimental test showed that it was consistent with the experimental measurement results in the far field of the fire source [ 13]. However, for the length of near fire source area, the calculation is not accurate. Fan [ 14] conducted experimental research in a 1:20 model tunnel, studied the flame length integral model considering the influence of tunnel section and ventilation velocity under large HRR near the fire source, and proposed a dimensionless ventilation velocity form considering the hydraulic diameter of the tunnel. Through a series of fire experiments, Jiang [ 15] studied the phenomenon of the central smoke exhaust system of the tunnel through a series of fire experiments, and measured and analyzed the height, temperature and flow rate of the smoke layer below the smoke vent. In conclusion, in previous studies, CFD simulation method can better analyze the motion law of fluid [ 16– 18]. In cases 1, 5 and 6, it can be seen that when the fuel quantity is 40 ml, in case 1 and 6 without cable, the maximum ceiling temperature reaches 90°C in a relatively long time, and the fuel quantity affects the maximum temperature, which is 0.5 m below the ceiling. When the fuel quantity is 10 ml, the maximum temperature below the ceiling of RVVR ignition cable is about 74°C, which is lower than the maximum temperature 77°C below the ceiling of ZRYJV ignition cable 0.5 m away from the fire source when the fuel quantity is 40 ml.

In cases 6, 8 and 9, it can be seen that when the fuel quantity is 40 ml, the upper limit temperature reaches 24 kW for a long time. When the fuel quantity is 10 ml, the HRR is about 3 kW, which is lower than the upper limit temperature below the upper limit of 5 kW when the fuel quantity is 20 ml.

(In Chinese) [ Google Scholar] The phases of work that were meticulously planned, using equipment and platforms especially designed by AMCO/Foulston Forge and Keltbray for the Severn Tunnel, were as follows: Hochtief has been contracted to design and supply the cable tunnel, one 400kV cable circuit and one 132kV cable circuit. They will also create headhouses for each end of the tunnel, which includes cable sealing end compounds and the associated mechanical, electrical, instrumentation control and automation systems.
