Civil and Tunnel Ventilation
In addition to this, considerations around the safety guidelines, regulations and codes of practice need to be taken into account, ensuring that the ventilation systems meet Australian codes and guidelines.
For tunnels, the ventilation considerations become far more complicated as the ventilation systems must be able to support tunnels in the event of a fire, requiring deep insight into thermodynamics and fluid dynamics.
Comprehensive Ventilation Support
With in-depth knowledge of ventilation design and management, CoalGAS can assist with the calculations, modeling and simulations of your ventilation systems, taking into account the complex factors of your particular project.
Regular reviews and audits will ensure that working conditions remain optimal as equipment ages and your current ventilation system suffers from wear and tear. CoalGAS can help ensure that your ventilation systems remain cost-effective, energy-efficient, effective and appropriate for your individual project.
Civil and Tunnel Ventilation Services
The CoalGAS team have an excellent understanding of air flow, thermodynamics, gases and dust within any underground environment as well as the regulatory requirements of these. With extensive operational and project management experience, the CoalGAS is well placed to support you with:
Ventilation design and planning
- CoalGAS has in-depth experience in ventilation design, modeling and analysis to help ensure the design and operation of your ventilation system is cost-effective and energy-efficient whilst providing  adequate airflow to remove contaminants and provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere for people to work and travel.
Ventilation management
- CoalGAS can support your ventilation needs by developing, reviewing and updating structured management plans, procedures and processes to control and manage the day-to-day operations of your ventilation system.
Audit and review of underground and tunnel ventilation systems and arrangements
- CoalGAS conducts audits of ventilation arrangements and management systems to (a) assess compliance with all relevant legislation, codes and guidelines, and (b) assess site implementation and compliance, and general effectiveness of the ventilation system and ventilation arrangements.
Risk Assessment
- CoalGAS can contribute specialist external knowledge and broad industry experience to support your hazard identification and risk assessment processes and identify appropriate controls relevant to ventilation at your site.
