Effective ventilation is an essential requirement for life sAFETY underground

Pollution emitted by trains and road vehicles must be managed in the tunnel to maintain set criteria and provide a safe environment. Locomotive or rolling stock heat may need to be removed by forced ventilation to ensure that the temperature is acceptable to both people and equipment.

As vehicles become cleaner and more efficient and alternative fuel sources become more common, the day to day ventilation requirement for tunnels will change meaning far more focus is required on the life safety element of tunnel ventilation for the long term safety of users.

Our products have been successfully used in underground projects throughout the world. They are unrivaled in their technology, innovation, efficiency and performance. Each system design is bespoke for every project.
