Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit

Location: Jakarta, Indonesia

The MRT's underground section will require the building of Senayan, Istora, Bendungan Hilir, Setiabudi, Dukuh Atas, and Bundaran Hotel Indonesia stations.

The design of fire safety systems in new or existing mass transit systems - including rail and tunnel projects - can be particularly challenging, due to high passenger volumes, emergency response behaviour, and access difficulties for the fire service. Inherent risks include the possibility of plant and rolling stock fires, high voltage cables, and other hazards contributing to substantial fire loading, which necessitate fire suppression systems and effective compartmentalisation in order to protect life and infrastructure. The impact of national regulations, and the lessons learned from catastrophic fires from around the world, have meant that fire safety is a critical consideration in the planning of metro and tunnel projects.
