Smoke testing at Arden Station Metro Tunnel Project 2024-05-02 | We recently put some of Arden Station’s fire safety systems to the test with the help of Australia’s national science agency, @csiro.The team used a fog machine to generate ‘hot smoke’ with controlled flames, to safely simulate how smoke behaves in the station. We monitored smoke movement, speed, extraction time and impact on emergency access points.These tests aim to ensure Arden Station’s ventilation systems are working as expected to help keep people safe in the rare event of a fire.Similar tests will be carried across Parkville, State Library, Town Hall and Anzac stations in coming months, ensuring the safety and preparedness of the stations when the Metro Tunnel opens in 2025.About the Metro Tunnel ProjectThe Metro Tunnel will create a new end-to-end rail line from Sunbury in the west to Cranbourne/Pakenham in the south east, with bigger and more modern trains, and 5 new stations.
