Ventilation technology: Ventilation and gas control from a single source

Ventilation involves supplying underground structures with sufficient fresh air. It helps to create safe working conditions and to control harmful gases, vapours and dust, as well as extreme heat and cold. DMT provides support with the measurement, planning and design of the ventilation systems required for this purpose.

DMT develops designs and systems for mining operations, tunnels, drainage systems, track-laying projects and other underground structures. The design process is guided by the relevant geological, operational and safety requirements.

Software-based planning is particularly useful for complex or changing mine workings. It enables the assessment of air flows, pressure conditions and air volumes within the ventilation network, as well as the informed design and optimisation of ventilation measures.

DMT develops integrated solutions for the detection, assessment and control of gas-related risks. Our services include, amongst other things, the design of gas extraction systems, measures to prevent gas outbursts, measurement technology, gas laboratories and on-site technical support following incidents.

The planning process involves assessing the on-site conditions, determining the technical specifications of the system, and selecting suitable components for the extraction and safe discharge of gases. In doing so, we take into account gas volume, gas quality, geological conditions and operational requirements.

Yes. DMT runs training courses on ventilation and outgassing. During these courses, our experts provide practical knowledge on ventilation, gas control and safe procedures in underground structures.
