Leading air quality management solutions

At BBE, we recognize that maintaining leading air quality standards is essential, not only to ensure the immediate safety of employees but also to safeguard their health. By controlling workplace pollutants through tried and tested management principles, we help create working environments that are safe and that ensure the continuous well-being of employees. We bring multi-layered expertise in identifying, measuring, analysing, and controlling airborne contaminants found in underground mining environments. Our competencies cover a broad range of pollutants, including dust, diesel emissions, gasses, and fumes. Based on rigorous measurement and analytical processes, we specialize in designing, specifying, and implementing contaminant capture, handling, filtration, and scrubbing systems to ensure compliance with worker exposure limits as stipulated in regulations or mine-specific standards. Our specialist team creates tailored dust and gas handling strategies and solutions for diverse mining methods, focusing on source-based controls to ensure effective pollutant reduction or elimination.
