Natural Ventilation And Mining

What are the biggest issues for mining infrastructure? Heat, humidity and air contamination.

Heat

Whether it be looking after machinery or the welfare of your employees, removing excess heat and controlling your operations environment is critical.

IVR Group can provide comprehensive CFD modeling that can quantify the effectiveness of natural ventilation in building design. Through working with engineers and operation managers, we have the ability to understand each particular project and work out the best solution for providing comfortable, safe and more productive work environments.

 

Humidity

With humidity and stagnant air comes corrosion. And with corrosion comes higher maintenance costs, reduced building life cycles and challenging working environments.

Over 40 years of natural ventilation experience, a comprehensive working knowledge of thermodynamics and an understanding of the intricacies that mining projects entail mean that IVR Group know how to effectively reduce the corrosive nature of humidity from above ground mining infrastructure making your buildings stronger and last longer.

 

Contaminated Air

The provision of a safe working environment is the number one priority and we believe clean, fresh air flow throughout a facility can be a significant contributor to this. IVR Group can work with operators and engineers to develop the best solution through utilising CFD modeling that not only maps building heat load movement but also identifies external factors such as regional wind, humidity and temperature histories for each project.

 

Benefits

Whether it be processing and washery facilities, desalination and water treatment plants or even truck wash sheds, IVR Group have successfully removed the risks and costs that corrosion places on mining operations meaning increased building lifecycles, reduced building maintenance requirements and most importantly reduced operation costs.

We're helping make your operations safer, cleaner and more efficient, and all while helping your bottom line.
