Indian Railways handle huge traffic whether it is Long distance trains or  Suburban Local trains. The footfall of commuters have significantly or we can say exponentially  increased for Railways and that is beyond their imagination and they are overwhelmed with traffic and how to handle the same.

What we feel is Railways  are finding it difficult to calibrate the needs of infrastructure which if not immediately corrected will cause more and more mishaps like the Elphinstone Road Bridge tragedy or volley of accidents happening on tracks for long distance trains. The infra structure  which was British build  has started to give up now and has already lived its life.

 Like other countries we need to learn from the accidents and prevent them from happening again for which corrective and preventive actions need to be taken - a first step towards it is appointing auditors and good design, engineering consultants who have practical and not just theorotical knowledge of the subject.

How We Can Help ?

Our Consulting Engineers have worked with International MNC Companies in Life Safety Space and also with prestigous institution  like  Indian Army  and have indepth study of  International Codes in Life Safety & Security like NFPA ( National Fire Protection Association ) USA  &  EN ( European  Norms ) Codes. Railways need not look at International Consultants which is usually done by all governmental departments, but in India company like ours can definitely provide these consultations under one roof .

As Our Mission Statement  is  :         Try & Help As Many People on This Planet to Save Most Precious Asset that is - Their Life.

We can consult, audit &  guide Railways on :

- Safe Egress of Commuters during Emergencies & Disasters

- How to handle  Emergencies like Fire, Floods, Storms, Cyclone or any other national or man made disasters.

- How to avoid Terrorist Attacks on stations and in trains

- Risks due to Asphyxiation inside trains, in holding areas like waiting rooms, train stations, bridges

- Educating Commuters with Effective Safety & Security  Signage's

- Improving Ventilation inside local trains as Oxygen levels are depleting and CO2 levels are ever increasing inside causing ailments among commuters. Doing Heat & Ventillation Load Calculations based on train compartment volume and what are the right cooling and ventilation fans needed inside compartment. We have measured oxygen & CO2  levels inside a crowded compartment and have noted low oxygen and high CO2 levels inside the compartments. We have gas & ventilation and cooling specialist consultants who can make effective guidance.

- Having Effective Mass Notification Systems on platforms and foot over bridges

- How to avoid accidents near Pentographs and how to Increase Electrical Safety for commuters

- How to reduce Dacoity and Looting on Trains

- How to Have Clarity of Announcement on PA System & Training of Railway Staff on Spot to handle emergencies.

- How to Increase Fire Safety, Electrical Safety, Civil & Mechanical Safety, Security on Railway Premises

- How to bring in deterrents on avoiding a possible  terror strikes

- Protecting Utilities on Railway premises from sabotage and arson

 - Doing Fire Safety, Life Safety , Safe Egress, Passive Fire Protection, Structural, Physical  Security  Audits periodically for Railways can identify gaps and can define good inputs necessary in doing correction and mitigation of safety & security on railway premises

- Designing New Life Safety, Fire Safety, Security Systems to increase safety & security cover for  commuters in line with International Standards

Our Analysis of Possible Cause of  Elphinstone Road Tragedy !

First Our Heartfelt Condolences to All Persons Who Lost their Life at Elphinstone Road on September 29th 2017 & We Wish Speedy Recovery of Persons At KEM & Other Hospitals. Our Special thanks to All Doctors, Medical Teams & Volunteers who helped save lives

- Life was majorly threatened on the bridge due to Asphyxiation ( Low Oxygen ) which caused suffocation. We cannot survive if Oxygen goes below 6%, normal Oxygen level in free atmosphere is 20.9% Vol. If more people come in a smaller volume space Oxygen deficient atmosphere gets created as also CO2 level increases as many people are exhaling CO2 which further displaces Oxygen from the area.

- Stampede was caused as deficient oxygen atmosphere made many people restless and the jungle rule prevailed and the fittest and strongest people survived over physically weak persons and those on the bottomost area of the bridge suffered the most. A GI Sheet if it was not present on one side of the bridge would have permitted more Oxygen and would have helped commuters to escape.

- If there was a rain shelter available on road bridge connecting railway station bridge with road bridge and extending up to Tulsi Pipe Road on one side and Sion Highway on other side, persons walking on the bridge would not have come for shelter and added to woes of railway commuters.

- Affected People should not have Panicked and Pranksters should have avoided loose comments

Railways need to look at outside expertise as soon as possible and hire Life Safety & Security Consultants as that will add further strength to Railway Safety & Security teams.

In India there are very few Life Safety & Security Consultants who can possibly address this requirement but if Railways look out they can find some.

Still have questions? Please contact us anytime! We look forward to hearing from you.
