(Continuation of Question 2/6)
Background and Justification
Fire safety has been studied in respect of telecommunication buildings.
However it is possible for combustible gasses to build up to a dangerous
concentration that could lead to explosions in, for example, tunnels, manholes
and cable chambers.
Question
What strategies are required to be operated to prevent an explosion in
unattended enclosures associated with outside plant such as manholes and
tunnels?
Study items
- safety procedures for outdoor installations;
- fire detection systems, monitoring and control of outside plant.
Relationships
- IEC Joint working group on fire issues (IEC SC46A, 46C, 86A)
