MINES & TUNNELS

Working safely underground

Working underground in mines and tunnels calls for extra care against flammable gases which is a real risk for the safety of workers. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out ATEX conversions on electrical, non-electrical or internal combustion engine machinery intended for use in mines and tunnels, as well as in above-ground mining facilities: in these environments, there is a possibility of the presence of significant volumes of flammable gases and firedamp.

WHAT WE DO

Flameproof conversions for mines and tunnels

According to current legislation, mines and tunnels are classified as belonging to Group I: ATEX regulations, therefore, require flameproof conversion of equipment intended for use in these areas, including shutdown in the event of an emergency. For this purpose, in the sector in question, it is possible to carry out the conversions of all types of equipment in category M2.
