Swedish term or phrase: Övertrycksättning
From a document describing requirements for construction of a new railway line:


Övertrycksättningen syftar till att förhindra brandgasspridning från stationen till rulltrappor/trappor och biljett hall under en utrymningssituation när dörrarna till trapphallen förväntas vara öppna.

Angränsande tunnelrör samt slussar mellan tunnelrör kan behöva övertrycksättas för att förhindra brandgasspridning till den säkra platsen.
