SUSTAINING CIVIL PROJECTS

Tunneling

TUNNELLING INDUSTRY - UNDERGROUND CIVIL PROJECTS

MINETEK has extensive experience in delivering ventilation solutions in some of the world's most challenging civil tunnelling industries and underground projects. A constant in any major civil infrastructure project is the need to ensure all deliverables meet the required specification and are delivered on time and within budget.

MINETEK has provided innovative fan solutions for a range of tunnelling projects across the globe, ensuring air can be efficiently targeted across the site. With MINETEK's Performance On Demand (POD), operators have the ability to precisely manage pressure and power to optimise airflow circuits.

Our expert design, engineering, manufacturing and project management teams work seamlessly together to ensure each solution meets or exceeds specification and is installed quickly and efficiently to support the challenging tunnel ventilation project deadlines. Lightweight and modular in design, MINETEK's direct-drive tunnel ventilation solutions are ideal for a range of high pressure and flow settings and have been proven to deliver significant cost savings through reduced power consumption.

Our Capabilities

Primary Ventilation Fans

MINETEK can supply the largest available fans for main fan ventilation. Innovative engineering and premier quality have resulted in world first features like MINETEK's Performance on Demand (POD) controls. Experience power saving, durability and flexibility not achieved with traditional fans.

Secondary Auxiliary Fans

Keep additional fan installations and mid-project shutdowns to a minimum, with MINETEK's auxiliary fans. Compact in size , while the high pressure capability results in less fans needed for the development. Benefit from automation, syncronisation and control from the surface.

Booster Fans

Strategically optimise underground air flow with MINETEK. Primary fans can be installed as a booster fan for both return and intake airways and provide all the MINETEK advantages. Additionally, MINETEK's fans can sequence with the main ventilation, and anti-stall features, making it a reliable choice for booster ventilation.

Multiple Heading Ventilation

Improve project performance by using MINETEK ventilation solutions for multiple heading ventilation. Reduce operating costs, and decrease work required for installation with MINETEK's high output fans.

Bulkhead Fans

Synchronise bulkhead fans with MINETEK's Performance On Demand (POD) and Mine Air Control (MAC) system. Halve the amount of fans required, and stop inefficient power wastage, stalling and duct friction with MINETEK.

Long Duct Runs

The concentrated power of MINETEK's High Output (HO) Axial Fans, makes them the ideal solution for long duct runs. With more than twice the pressure capacity of a standard bladed axial fan, less fans are needed throughout the development.

Tunnel Fans

MINETEK's low profile fan provides additional clearance between ventilation ducts and loaded vehicles, making them the ideal industrial ventilation solution for tunnels. Improve safety, save power, and achieve maximum performance with MINETEK.

Development Fans

Utilise MINETEK's Pressure, Power, Performance on Demand (POD) system throughout development and reap the economic benefits. Control from the surface, and only use the air pressure and power you need at each stage of the development. MINETEK's fans will grow with your project.

Mine Air Control (Mac)

The Mine Air Control (MAC) system, in conjunction with the fans Performance on Demand (POD) technology enables synchronization of both the primary and secondary ventilation fans to increased performance, economic benefits, and efficient use of power. Control the ventilation system remotely for ideal performance from the surface.

MINETEK have been instrumental in the design of products used on our mining equipment. Our engagement with them is a true business partnership.

I can honestly say I have found MINTEK WATER a very professional organisation in all the dealings that I have had with them. They have always been proactive and looked for and suggested alternatives to assist me in the delivery of my projects whilst still working on the original concept.

The ability to deliver equipment on time has been a feature of our dealing and we haven't had a situation where a variation has been requested. The quality of their workmanship has been good and the capability of hardware has been as expected or better than quoted”

The relatively small fans allowed us to utilise our existing bulkhead, where we were severely limited by space, which allowed us to use our existing infrastructure and dramatically reduce downtime in the mine during the change out. The installation was completed safely... and allows us to scale our ventilation flow with their pressure on demand system to suit our production profile.
