Mining operations must manage some of the most hazardous environments in the world. Whilst the problems may be complex, the hazards are controllable and it is imperative that your mine ventilation systems are optimally designed, regularly audited and well managed. Mine ventilation systems, in conjunction with gas management systems, must be designed to supply clean, respirable air to all working areas of the mine to dilute and remove gas and other contaminants from the mine.
Underground tunnels and civil excavations require adequate and efficient ventilation to ensure all people working and travelling in those areas breathe clean air and are not exposed to harmful concentrations of fumes, gases and dust.
Ventilation Services
Ensuring that those people working and travelling in your underground mine, tunnel or civil excavation are breathing clean air at a safe temperature is essential. This requires your ventilation, dust and gas management systems to be designed to suit site conditions. The provision of energy-efficient, cost-effective, respirable air is paramount to safe operations. CoalGAS can design and ensure optimum ventilation performance at your site. Once established, ventilation systems and standards should be periodically reviewed and audited to ensure they are being implemented and maintained as intended, and that they remain cost effective, efficient, safe and compliant with relevant legislation and guidelines.
Supporting your Ventilation Project Needs
CoalGAS provides experienced specialist technical, operational and project management services to support the current and future ventilation requirements of your mine, tunnel or civil excavation project. We can help define the initial ventilation requirements for your mine/project, including design and modelling (using Ventsim) to design and and optimise ventilation at key milestones during the life of the mine/project, through to review and audit of existing ventilation systems to improve standards, compliance and performance.
Our services range from day-to-day operational and onsite support to high-level project management, technical studies, research and development. Our extensive onsite mining experience and in-depth knowledge enable us to support your team of Managers, Engineers, Coordinators and Ventilation Officers.
CoalGAS also provides Ventilation Audits, Due Diligence and Risk Assessment services.
