Engineering Brief

Metro Rail Challenges We Solve

Metro rail environments impose exacting performance requirements — high airflow with zero water ingress, acoustic attenuation on concourses, and ECBC-compliant station facades. KBG systems are designed and tested to meet each constraint.

Concourse & Tunnel Ventilation

Underground concourse ventilation demands high free-area louvers with zero water penetration at design wind velocities. Our sand-trap and storm-rated louvers meet AMCA Class A–B penetration ratings per EN 13030, with aluminium blades engineered for corrosion resistance in humid tunnel environments.

Sand-Trap Louvers Storm-Rated AMCA Class A–B

Platform Acoustic Control

Train arrival and braking noise at platform level routinely exceeds 85 dB(A). KBG acoustic louvers and barrier systems deliver 20–30 dB(A) insertion loss, meeting CPCB E(P) Act and NGT noise standards. Mineral wool-lined absorptive panels with ventilation pass-through for equipment rooms.

20–30 dB(A) Loss CPCB Compliant IS 9901

Station Facade Integration

Metro station facades require ECBC 2017 compliant solar shading, architectural fins, integrated ventilation, and fire-rated dampers — all coordinated from a single fabrication source to reduce design interfaces and avoid schedule conflicts between trades.

Metro Rail HVAC & Facade Solutions — FAQs

Common questions from consultants, EPC contractors and procurement teams.

Which metro authorities has KBG supplied?

We have supplied ventilation, acoustic and facade systems to metro projects including MMRDA and Reliance Metro, and manufacture to the standards used by DMRC, BMRCL and similar authorities.

What standards apply to metro station ventilation?

Metro HVAC louvers and grilles are supplied to AMCA 500-L and tested to BS EN 13030 for water rejection and airflow, with fire and smoke dampers to the relevant fire ratings for tunnel and station applications.

Can you provide a single integrated package for a station?

Yes. We supply louvers, acoustic enclosures, air terminals and facade cladding as one coordinated package with shop drawings and BIM, reducing interface risk between multiple vendors.

How are corrosion and durability handled for underground stations?

Aluminium construction with PVDF or powder-coat finish resists the humid, high-throughput environment of metro stations, and stainless fixings are used where specified.
