Emergency Refuge Chamber for Mines
shelt’air
SHELT’AIR Mining emergency refuge chambers protect operators working in underground mines when immediate evacuation is no longer possible. In the event of fire, smoke, toxic gas release, explosion, or a major incident, they provide a secure, pressurized, and self-contained space where teams can await rescue in optimal safety conditions.
The Robustness of Mining, the Reliability of SHELT’AIR
Underground mining operations expose teams to permanent risks: fires, smoke, carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) releases, oxygen deficiency, ground instability, and difficulties evacuating.
When an incident occurs, having an emergency refuge chamber provides a protected environment where operators can breathe safe air and await the intervention of rescue teams.
Sub’Roca Technologies
SHELT’AIR Mining emergency refuge chambers integrate technologies developed to ensure operator protection in emergency situations in underground environments.
Real-time atmospheric monitoring, intelligent pressurization management, backup power supply, and automatic gas purification: each system contributes to maintaining a safe, breathable, and operational environment throughout the refuge’s use.
Designed to operate reliably in the demanding conditions of mining operations, these technologies also simplify operation, reduce maintenance requirements, and assist teams during critical situations.
