Primary Mine Ventilation - Triple Fan Concept

Overview

The 2 x triple fan installation are required to ventilate the Underground Coal Mine and provide conditions suitable for the miners to work. This involves creating sufficient air movement underground to remove the diesel fumes from the vehicles and also the methane (CH4) which is released from the coal. The design was based on providing the ability for one of the fan installations to be changed from extraction to forced ventilation to meet the balanced ventilation strategy for the mine.
