BBE experience and knowledge base includes fire engineering as it relates to underground mining. BBE team members have contributed significantly to numerous research and investigation programmes around flammability of materials, fire engineering, fire fighting techniques and escape and rescue strategies.
An integral part of BBE’s ventilation system designs is the ventilation of workshops, conveyor belts, fuel bays, etc. considering the risk of fires. Fire-zoning is used to limit the impact of fires. BBE has simulation tools and capabilities to predict smoke paths and concentrations, and the effect of underground fires on the ventilation system.
