Engineered Refuge Solutions

Mine safety is a key priority for every mining organization. Dräger Engineered Refuge Solutions (ERS) provide a safe haven for miners in emergency situations. Each engineered chamber is fully customized to the requirements of the individual mine. It can be adapted to mine conditions, mine emergency plans, and official requirements. This provides the highest flexibility in meeting your needs, while maintaining our primary goal: maximum mine safety.

 

Customized to meet your mine safety requirements

The requirements of a mine refuge chamber can be as diverse as the mine itself. For example, a comprehensive risk assessment or the mine conditions may demand a specially designed refuge chamber or additional features. At Dräger, we have decades of engineering experience in tailoring refuge chambers to specific mine safety requirements. We also have a worldwide service network—which enables us to provide timely support and helps reduce the cost of ownership.

 

Incorporates local standards and regulations

Local mine regulations around the world can vary considerably. Dräger’s engineered chamber solutions offer the highest flexibility to meet the required standards and best practices. Regardless of whether the requirements are imposed by official regulations, mine requirements, or environmental conditions, Dräger refuge chambers provide the highest levels of flexibility in their design. The concept considers all requirements, including life support systems, electrical systems, and general conditions.

 

A safe haven without compromise

In emergency situations, miners taking refuge need a life support system they can rely on to protect them from danger. This might include protection against heat stress or falling rock, an uncompromised supply of safe and clean breathing air or gas detection system, and a reliable, independent electrical system. Dräger’s engineered chamber solutions offer the highest quality and safety standards to keep miners safe until mine rescue teams can reach them.
