  • 4.3.2 Existing Standard for Fire Fighting and Management of Metro the Characteristics of the Fire Accidents Are Indicated in the Preceding Section
    JICA PREPARATORY SURVEY ON GREATER CAIRO METRO LINE NO. 4 4.3.2 Existing Standard for Fire Fighting and Management of Metro The characteristics of the fire accidents are indicated in the preceding section. According to the type of tunnels, the standard/design guideline for fire accident management is regulated by some countries taking these characteristics into consideration. On the other hand, the countries which do not have tunnels and underground stations blindly use or apply other country’s standard/design guideline. As a result, the scale of the tunnel and station becomes more excessive than its requirement in some cases. In order to apply appropriate measure and method, the present conditions of standards/guidelines for metro construction/operation in the world are explained in this section and some points of these standards are studied in the following section. (1) NFPA 130 (USA) NFPA 130 which is the “Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems” is the standard of USA for the design of the metro. It is widely used in countries which do not have their own standard/regulation and it has strong influence in other countries. So far, this standard is applied for the metro in India, Singapore, etc. NFPA 130 is one of the strictest standards and it could not be often applied for the old metro which was constructed before NFPA 130, which was established in 1983. If this standard is applied strictly, the structure of the tunnel and station tends to be bigger and the cost of the construction also tends to be higher.
