Project objectives

To conform with ventilation standards during the underground concrete work and reduce inhalation of toxic gas by the underground workers.

Description

Aer-Pro was contracted by BFC Foundation Inc. to conduct a study in order to determine heating and ventilation required during the underground concrete work, which should be conducted during the winter season.

An underground ventilation technician was hired by Aer-Pro to conduct a quality standard audit. The following measurements have been obtained :

• Air flow in ducts;


• Air flow in ducts using a propelled anemometer;


• Dynamic and static pressure measurements;

According to pressure and air flow measurements, the central underground ventilation was simulated using computer software.The results obtained have allowed the identification of customer requirements and recommended their requirements in ventilation. Equipment and materials required for underground ventilation was provided to the customer at a competitive cost.

This evaluation has enabled the customer to strategically reduce risk factors for the underground workers health and safety, and to conform to all health and safety codes inspections.
