SHELT’AIR Compact Emergency Refuge Chamber
The SHELT’AIR Compact emergency refuge chamber has been specifically developed to protect teams working in narrow galleries, confined spaces, and underground structures where limited space is a major constraint.
Despite its compact dimensions, it incorporates the essential technologies required to protect operators when immediate evacuation becomes impossible.

Compact, Without Compromise
In the event of a fire, smoke, toxic gas release, or major incident, the refuge provides a secure, pressurized, and self-contained space where teams can await rescue in optimal conditions.
Its compact design facilitates transportation, installation, and repositioning as close as possible to work areas, while maintaining the same level of safety as the other SHELT’AIR refuge chambers.
Developed by SUB’ROCA, a French manufacturer specializing in underground safety, the compact refuge is designed to minimize maintenance requirements, optimize available space, and adapt to the constraints of the most demanding worksites.
It can be configured according to project requirements, occupant capacity, and required autonomy.

Why Choose a Compact Emergency Refuge Chamber?
Underground works carried out in narrow-section galleries or confined spaces require equipment capable of providing maximum protection while occupying minimal space.
The SHELT’AIR Compact emergency refuge chamber meets this requirement with an optimized design that allows installation as close as possible to work areas.
It provides a collective protection solution adapted to the circulation, handling, and operational constraints encountered on underground worksites.
Emergency refuge chambers are an essential component of emergency response plans in underground environments when immediate evacuation cannot be guaranteed.
