06 Mar Ventilation Control Devices – Underground Coal Mines
Sealing underground mines with inflatable ventilation control devices (VCDs)
State mining legislation requires underground coal mines to have provisions for Ventilation Control Devices (VCD) and mine sealing, in case of underground emergency – to protect against spontaneous combustion and explosions.
M2P designs and manufactures rated compliance seals. Our seals are engineered to satisfy state mining safety regulations.
We design and supply both emergency and routine seals, which can be engineered to sustain specific pressure ratings. For example, we commonly supply Type B and Type E seals, which adhere to the Queensland Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulation 2017 ratings.
Our systems can be fully automatically and remotely deployed, reducing exposure and increasing site compliance.
M2P also offer rigid or fixed steel and mechanical mine seal systems. We can offer hybrid inflatable and steel systems if desired.
Customised and reusable ventilation control devices
Underground mines require ventilation control. M2P Engineering also design and manufacture ventilation control devices for almost any situation.
Our inflatable ventilation control devices are quicker to install, re-usable, and more cost-effective than rigid alternatives.
If you are a Vent Officer on an underground coal mine site, we’d love to understand your operation and compliance requirements.
