Previously, CNAIR and ISU (including ISU Argeș and structures within the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations) inspected the fire safety systems in the Momaia tunnel, at CNAIR’s request. The tests covered the ventilation system for smoke evacuation, equipment such as the pump room and hydrant niches, the pressure in the systems, as well as pedestrian evacuation passages and access routes for emergency response vehicles.
As part of the same preparations for safe operation, the authorities also analyzed the intervention plan and scheduled a fire simulation for November 11. In addition, a stage had been scheduled for the end of September, when the final test of the monitoring, prevention, and intervention systems was to be carried out together with ISU representatives.
The road works on the section had already been completed at the infrastructure level, with asphalt, markings, and guardrails installed on the 12 bridges, passages, and viaducts belonging to the section.
