TUNNEL VENTILATION SYSTEMS

Ventilation systems

SUB’ROCA supplies ventilation systems equipped with ducts for tunnels in excavation, up to JetFan (accelerator) for tunnels that are opening. Our equipment can be installed on TBMs.

Various configurations

We are able to design fans ranging from single stage (1 stage) to multi-stage (up to 4 stages) adapted to the constraints and phasing of your site based on the following characteristics: 

  • Casing made of S235JR steel with galvanised or epoxy paint finish.
  • The motors supplied have, depending on the case, a supply voltage of 230/400V or 400/690V (230V single phase/1000V or other on request).
  • Our fans are equipped with support feet as standard, but can be optionally mounted on fixed or mobile chassis (wheels, sledge/skid, etc.) for ease of movement.
  • The propellers are made of blades whose material varies according to the application propylene, glass-fibre reinforced propylene, aluminium, antistatic plastic. Thanks to our high quality materials and our design software, we can provide you with the propeller best suited to your constraints. Being at the forefront of propeller technology is part of our commitment.

Ventilation ducts and networks

Flexible spiral ducts, more commonly known as « Spiragaines » are ducts that allow a fluid, in this case air, to circulate, which may be loaded with pollutants, dust or gas. They can be used for either blowing or suction (in overpressure or underpressure) and can be connected by different technologies (belts, straps, zip,…).

They are originally produced with 550g/m2 PVC, but can be produced with PVCs from 300 to 1000g/m2 on request and are packaged in sections of 5, 10, 15 or 20 metres.

Smooth flexible ducts, more commonly known as « Ventubes », are ducts for the circulation of a fluid, in this case air, which can be loaded with pollutants, dust or gas. They are used for blowing and can be connected by different technologies (belts,
straps, zip,…).

They are originally produced with PVC of 550g/m2, but can be produced with PVC from 300 to 1000g/m2 on request. They are packaged in sections of 5, 10, 15 or 20 metres. They can also be produced on the basis of several tens, or even hundreds of metres if a sheathed cassette is used, particularly for digging work by tunnel boring machines.

Accelerators longitudinal ventilation

Due to the geometry of the galleries and mesh networks, it can be difficult or even impossible to guide the air to specific locations. It may be possible to favour the air path with Jetfans or also called accelerators.

SUB’ROCA has been able to use its know-how from the Charbonnages de France to design Jetfans mounted on fixed or mobile frames that can be easily moved to adapt the air path.

Safety is an essential element taken into consideration during the design and manufacture of our systems. SUB’ROCA supplies longitudinal ventilation systems that can be used to induce an air flow to ventilate road and rail tunnels, etc…
Our design office is able to size the requirements according to your constraints.
