FIRE SUPPRESSION SOLUTIONS FOR METRO STATION TUNNELS
Metro station tunnels are among the most vulnerable areas to fire hazards due to limited ventilation, high passenger density, and complex electrical systems. In such enclosed environments, a minor fire can escalate rapidly, leading to smoke buildup, equipment damage, and evacuation challenges.
Synergy Fire provide advanced fire suppression solutions for metro station tunnels, ensuring immediate fire detection, automatic suppression, and effective smoke control. Our systems are engineered for real-time fire prevention, minimizing risks to passengers, metro operations, and infrastructure.
Why Fire Suppression is Essential for Metro Station Tunnels?
High Fire Risk in Confined Spaces – Limited airflow makes fires harder to control.
Electrical & Mechanical Fire Hazards – Power cables, transformers, and lighting systems are prone to overheating and short circuits.
Passenger Evacuation Challenges – Smoke and heat can block escape routes, increasing panic.
Infrastructure Protection – Ensures fire safety for rail tracks, power lines, and tunnel structures

FAQ
Metro station tunnels are high-risk areas due to confined spaces, electrical systems, and passenger density. Without proper fire suppression, fires can spread quickly, causing smoke buildup, infrastructure damage, and evacuation challenges. Our fire suppression systems ensure rapid fire detection, automatic suppression, and smoke control for passenger safety.
We provide customized fire suppression solutions, including:
• High-Pressure Water Mist Systems – Cools and extinguishes fires with minimal water usage.
• Foam-Based Fire Suppression – Ideal for fuel and flammable material fires.
• Automatic Fire Detection & Alarm Systems – Immediate alerts for early suppression.
• Smoke Ventilation & Extraction Systems – Ensures clear evacuation paths and visibility.
Metro tunnels are prone to fires due to:
• Electrical faults (short circuits, cable overheating)
• Flammable materials (fuel leaks, plastic components)
• Mechanical failures (HVAC systems, escalators)
• Overheating of train components
Water mist suppression releases fine water droplets that:
- Suppress flames by reducing heat and oxygen.
- Minimize water damage to metro infrastructure.
- Maintain visibility for safe evacuation.
- Prevent re-ignition by cooling the area effectively.
- Creates a barrier that prevents oxygen from feeding the fire.
- Works effectively on fuel, grease, and chemical fires.
- Prevents fire re-ignition, ensuring long-term protection.
- Quick application in tunnel environments where fire spreads rapidly.
- Smoke extraction fans remove toxic gases for clear visibility.
- Prevents suffocation risks for passengers and emergency responders.
- Maintains temperature balance, preventing heat buildup.
- Ensures safe evacuation in case of fire incidents.
