Description

Background The Green Tunnels are cut and cover tunnels, which consist, in brief, in excavating a trench, constructing the tunnel in it, and backfilling it afterwards, to restore the ground surface to its original state. By integrating the railway into the existing landscape, this tunnelling method contributes in mitigating potential impacts that it could have, particularly in rural areas, such as visual pollution and wildlife fragmentation. For this reason, the Green Tunnels have been proposed as a sustainable solution for some sections of the HS2 route. Requirement EKFB are looking for a competent supplier to carry out a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment of the tunnels to identify the risks and manage them appropriately. The scope of works includes, but is not limited to: assessing fire sources, confirming the minimum requirements and the specific requirements for the case, defining the risk level, proposing actions to manage these safely and effectively, commenting on the spread of fire in the tunnel and its surroundings, developing fire strategies, incident management plans, emergency plans, and any other applicable documentation.
