Monitoring Gas Levels in Tunnelling
Monitoring gas levels in tunnelling and underground construction is crucial to providing a safe work environment. How can this be done safely and effectively?
Monitoring gas levels in tunnelling and underground construction is crucial to providing a safe work environment. How can this be done safely and effectively?
Gas monitors for a tunnelling refuge chamber allows occupants to measure levels in and outside of a chamber and taking corrective action to maintain a safe environment.

Gas monitors for a refuge chamber allows occupants to measure levels in and outside of a chamber; taking corrective action to maintain a safe environment.
If Methane levels rise, the risk also increases. The potential for ignition and explosion of methane is one of the most severe natural hazards.
Hydrogen sulfide is exceptionally hazardous, due to its high levels of flammability and toxicity. Personnel should be aware of the potential risks.
What is Carbon Monoxide? Also known as the ‘silent killer’ it is highly toxic. It is present underground, at chemical facilities and can build up within a refuge chamber.
What is Carbon Dioxide? Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless and odourless gas, existing in Earth’s atmosphere as a trace gas at a concentration of about 400ppm (0.04%) by volume. Natural sources of CO2 include volcanoes and hot springs, and being soluble in water, it occurs naturally in groundwater, rivers, lakes, ice caps, glaciers, and […]
In an underground environment, Methane concentrations are extremely hazardous
Hydrogen Sulfide is naturally generated in situ from reservoirs and sulfate containing minerals
