Mine Ventilation

Mining operations must manage some of the most hazardous environments in the world. Controlling the airborne atmospheric hazards requires mine ventilation systems that are optimally designed, regularly audited and well managed.
CoalGAS offers a range of ventilation services, delivered by a highly skilled and experienced mine ventilation engineer, to ensure that your mine ventilation is optimised.

Mine Health and Safety

Optimal ventilation, within the confined working spaces of your mine, is crucial to ensure the occupational health and safety of your workforce. An optimised mine ventilation system will ensure an adequate supply of respirable air is maintained to the working faces and throughout the mine, safeguarding your workforce against hazardous exposure to seam gases, diesel exhaust emissions, diesel particulate matter (DPM), dust, and other airborne hazards. Effective ventilation will also ensure the temperature, where people work and travel, is controlled and maintained at safe and comfortable levels.

Regular reviews and audits of the mine ventilation system will ensure ventilation standards are designed, implemented and maintained in compliance with all relevant and applicable Regulations, Codes of Practice and Guidelines.

CoalGAS can help to ensure that your ventilation system remains the most cost-effective, energy-efficient and optimal solution to meet the current and future ventilation needs of your mine.
