Disaster Relief

Designed specifically for regional industrial sites that experience extreme weather conditions, the StormSAFE range of shelters have been engineered to withstand wind speeds in excess of 300km/hr. They are built to comply with designated building codes based on requirement; such as the Australian Building Code’s ‘Region D Rating’ for Tropical Cyclones and the NFPA 780 Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems.

The StormSAFE shelters can be designed to house any size team comfortably, offering bunk-style bedding, ample seating, kitchenette facilities and toilet amenities. Clever modular designs mean that space can be customised for any specification, particularly in regards to size, occupancy and internal features.

StormSAFE Cyclone and Lightning Shelters are a cost-effective option for remote industrial sites, allowing personnel to remain on-site to continue production. For sites experiencing regular extreme weather conditions, this minimises costly downtime and process disruptions significantly.

How We've Been Recognised

MineARC's MediSAFE First Aid Station is the only dedicated portable first aid chamber that can be used both above and below ground. Designed for harsh environments and remote locations, the MediSAFE features a solid steel construction with insulated walls and air-conditioning for comfort.

The MediSAFE provides a hygienic and safe environment for immediate patient evaluation & treatment on-site. The chamber comes with a comprehensive fit-out tailored for first aid applications.

MineARC Engineers have utilised flow simulation software to accurately analyse the flow path of cyclonic wind from all directions acting on the StormSAFE. By determining the areas of positive and negative pressures caused by air passing over the geometry, our engineers were able to develop a chamber design that is both stable and self-weighting, whilst also remaining easily transportable.

FEA structural analyses have been conducted to determine the maximum deflection of the StormSAFE, ensuring the impact energy of flying debris will not allow the shell to yield. FEA software and manual tests by MineARC engineers have confirmed the StormSAFE displays deflections below a fraction of a millimetre and a stress impact well below yield across the chamber, proving compliance with the aforementioned aspects of AS1170.2.
