UNDERGROUND MINES AND QUARRIES

SUB’ROCA puts its experience and technical expertise at your service. The world of mines and quarries is the historical heart of the company.

We offer you a range of skills and services ranging from measurements and ventilation studies to the supply of specific equipment for your underground site: emergency and rescue chambers, main and auxiliary ventilation.

Safety equipment for mines and underground quarries

Because your sites do not always have emergency exits adapted to all reasonably foreseeable risks or disasters, it is the responsibility of the operations manager to propose a safe place as close as possible to the work areas.

Thanks to their mobility and modularity, these safety areas, known as rescue chambers, allow your evacuation plan to evolve according to the progress of excavations.

SUB’ROCA offers a complete range of refuges adapted to the technical and economic constraints of mining environments. These refuges increase the staff’s chances of survival.

With its state-of-the-art technology, the rescue chambers maintains optimal air quality and a pressurized atmosphere over a period of a few hours to a few days (up to 36 hours or more).

Ventilation ensures the renewal of air in quarries and underground mines.

SUB’ROCA designs ventilation systems to evacuate gases and dust in order to guarantee the health and safety of personnel and to increase the productivity of your digging work.

Our ventilation systems can be natively connected to the site’s safety supervision. This intelligent ventilation includes control equipment for predictive maintenance.

VENTILATION STUDIES

MAIN VENTILATION STUDIES

Site study allowing to validate the conformity both in terms of architecture and means of the site. It integrates the production, geographical and strategic constraints in the short, medium and long term.

SECONDARY VENTILATION STUDIES

Study of specific worksites in dead end. It defines the concept and the means of ventilation to be set up according to the chosen method of digging and pickling. This secondary ventilation study must be strictly applied during the work phase by the site operators. All the secondary ventilation studies are an integral part of the technical ventilation file.

STUDIES AND SPECIAL MEASURES

These studies concern both specific problems and those involving the presence of fires in a meshed network.

FIRE EVACUATION STUDIES

On the basis of the numerical modelling carried out during the main and secondary ventilation studies, we simulate the presence of fires and their consequences on the atmosphere and the evacuation of workers.
