Overview
The T5D Rail-tunnel Ventilation Shaft is located adjacent to T5D at its North and can be accessed from the bottom (Level 6) via the trackside of the HEX tunnel or from the top (level 7) via Airside. The objective is to replace the four attenuators in the T5D Shaft because they are at their end of life.
The renewal of the T5D attenuators aims to reduce the risk of debris entering fans, tunnels and station, prevent the fans from failing in any fire scenario and provide ventilation and smoke clearance for the Heathrow Rail Tunnels. This improves safety conditions within Heathrow Rail Tunnels and improves resilience of systems.
In addition, less maintenance and repair are required for the attenuator. Each attenuator is formed of four quadrants weighing around 1160 kg.
