A mine rescue chamber is a type of emergency shelter that is often constructed underground in dangerous areas. It is sometimes referred to as a refuge chamber, a refuge bay, or a refuge alternative. Refuge chambers are employed in a variety of sectors, including metalliferous mining, coal mining, tunneling, and petrochemical operations.
When escape is no longer safe or practicable in an emergency, the rescue chamber is intended to offer a safe and secure go-to spot for workers to congregate and await extraction.
Rescue chambers are enclosed habitats designed to maintain life in the case of an emergency or hazardous occurrence, such as a vehicle fire or poisonous gas leak. They give a safe haven with shelter, water, and breathing air for individuals to stay until they are rescued or the hazard has passed.
To prevent contaminants such as smoke from polluting the breathing air within the chamber, refuge rooms must be sealed. The enclosed compartment features a closed circuit breathing equipment that removes carbon dioxide and other contaminants, adds oxygen, and maintains temperature and humidity while shielding inhabitants from the exterior threat.
The volume and duration of the chamber might vary based on its construction. There is also communication equipment available. The chambers must be positioned in close proximity to worker locations.
Permanent Refuge Chambers are built by sealing a concrete chamber developed in the mine. This technology is the most cost-effective alternative for a big number of employees underground at the same time. Permanent Refuge Chambers are available.
The Global Mine Refuge Chamber Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
