Specifically designed to suit onsite requirements, for mine shafts, raise-bores, ore/waste passes crusher and surge bins just to name a few. These inflatable, re-usable systems can be operational in less than two hours eliminating the requirement for extensive backfilling, pouring of solid/semi solid plugs that are required to be blasted out post use. Our systems eliminate the risk involved when personnel are required to go into an area where there is a likelihood of debris striking them from above and the possibility of major and /or fatal accidents resulting as a consequence of that exposure. The systems are designed to apply positive pressure on all surfaces within the subject area, thus preventing Free Fall of Materials and completely eliminating the hazard. Minvent Solutions Patented OPS is available as a single or in multiple units, in heavy duty PVCs, fire retardant and anti static fabrics can be designed to fit most application requirements, is available with a comprehensive audible/visual alarm system with at point of activity monitoring. Systems are also available with open central access and positive or negative pressure venting sleeves to remove dust, gasses and hot air in the working area below the OPS.
