Abstract
A breathable air safety system and method having at least one fill site is disclosed. In one aspect, a method of safety of a tunnel structure is disclosed. A prescribed pressure of an emergency support system is ensured to be within a threshold range of the prescribed pressure by including a valve of the emergency support system to prevent leakage of breathable air from the emergency support system. The prescribed pressure of the emergency support system is designated based on an authority agency that specifies a pressure rating of the breathable air apparatus. An air extraction process is expedited from the emergency support system by including a RIC (rapid interventions company/crew)/UAC (universal air connection) fitting to a fill panel to fill a breathable air apparatus.
Claims7
A method of safety of a tunnel structure, comprising:
- ensuring that a prescribed pressure of an emergency support system maintains within a threshold range of the prescribed pressure by including a valve of the emergency support system to prevent leakage of breathable air from the emergency support system, wherein the prescribed pressure of the emergency support system is designated based on an authority agency that specifies a pressure rating of the breathable air apparatus for a particular geographic location;
- safeguarding a filling process of a breathable air apparatus by enclosing the breathable air apparatus in a secure chamber of a fill site of the emergency support system of the tunnel structure to provide a safe placement to supply the breathable air to the breathable air apparatus;
- and
- providing a spare storage of breathable air through an air storage tank of a storage sub-system to store breathable air that is replenishable with a source of compressed air.
