Ventilation of Mines
We support mining companies in planning, optimising and assessing ventilation concepts for existing workings as well as for mine extensions. Special consideration is paid to economic and safety aspects.
Our services include:
- Preparation of ventilation and monitoring concepts
- Planning of systems for monitoring flow volumes and noxious gases
- Development of ventilation systems taking into account gas emission and air conditioning
- Design of concepts for the specific ventilation of headings, stopes and chambers as well as enclosed roadways
- Calculations of the future air supply quantities
- Determination of the required air flow with regard to noxious gases
- Determination of size and design of ventilation pipes, dust removal plants and fans
- Development of water spraying systems on heading machines for reducing dust and suppressing methane ignition
- Assessment of fault incidents in the event of fan breakdowns and vehicle fires
In our own gas measurement laboratory we determine the gas content and gas emission tendency of coal and ascertain sorption isotherms.
Furthermore we prepare gas mixtures in our gas analysis station for testing gas measuring equipment. And we advise you with regard to the compliance with mining authority regulations and compile expert reports for these authorities as well as for legal proceedings.
