Our expertise
Actions in the works are:
Execution of ventilation shaft 0 (P00) located at the end of the Maneuvering Queue of the "Aeroport T1" station: Formed by medium and low voltage rooms, UPS, Communications, Pumping equipment, fans and water tank. As well as, the realization of medium voltage transformation centers, control panels, protection and distribution at medium and low voltage, lighting and sockets, grounding, ventilation, control systems and fire protection.
Construction of a sectorized corridor, EI240 fire resistance, with overpressed vestibules, which allows the evacuation of personnel performing maintenance tasks in the maneuvering queue or in Well 0, in case of emergency to the surface level of Terminal 1 of Barcelona Airport. Execution of ventilation ducts for overpressure, from existing ventilation shafts to corridor lobbies. Implementation of the signage of the evacuation routes, both in the train parking area and inside the corridor.
