Advanced Smoke Group Blackwall Tunnel Project: Largest AOV in Britain

A look at how the Advanced Smoke Group installed the Britain's largest Automatic Opening Ventilation in Blackwall Tunnel.

The Blackwall Tunnel project lasted approx 18 months and required AOV's to be built into the existing ventilation shaft structures.
Through ingenuity and innovation the team were able to design and install the AOV, weighing 8.2 tonnes and 8.5 metres in diameter yet still capable of opening within 60 seconds in the event of a fire to allow for the safe extraction of smoke and other harmful gases.
