Mine Ventilation Surveys and Model Calibration

Providing peace-of-mind knowing your systems are accurate and up-to-date. View Our Services

Real-time insights into your mines’ conditions

Calibrating ventilation models to reflect real-time mine conditions allows ventilation practitioners to gain precise control over air distribution and temperature predictions throughout the mine. This alignment not only ensures air reaches critical areas effectively but also enables “what-if” scenario testing, offering a risk-free way to assess the impact of adding seals, doors, fans, or other ventilation controls. By modelling these adjustments, practitioners can make data-driven decisions that enhance system performance and safety.

BBE provides comprehensive ventilation surveys and delivers calibrated ventilation models, backed by high-quality data from key locations in the mine. With BBE’s expert survey and calibration services, you can be confident that your model is up-to-date and accurately represents the current state of your ventilation system, enabling more effective planning and optimization.

Some of our services include

Main fan performance surveys, confirm operating conditions of surface exhaust fan stations.

Temperature and pressure surveys (wet-bulb, dry-bulb, barometric pressure).

Troubleshooting (investigate the ventilation system, find leakage paths and optimize the ventilation system).

Base model generation (using VUMA or Ventsim™).

Technical note on the calibrated model, recommendations for improvement and optimization.

Up and downcast surveys (undertaken an airflow balance).

Volume surveys (on-level volume flow rate measurements).

BAC performance assessments (underground and surface).

Model calibration using accurate, up-to-date information (measured data).
