MineARC Systems specialises in designing and custom building refuge chambers for use in the tunnelling and underground construction industries, where fires and fall of ground during the construction phases can represent potential hazards to personnel. MineARC Tunnel Refuges perform the same life-preserving functions as standard mine refuge chambers, however they can be custom built to virtually any configuration in order to meet the specific needs of an individual tunnelling/construction project.

Providing safety at the rear of the Tunnel Boring Machine cutting head infrastructure (TBM), MineARC’s electrically powered, gantry-mounted TBM Refuge model offers premium safety features (details below), regardless of size constraints. MineARC can design and manufacture each refuge to meet a project’s specific needs, without compromising on occupancy potential or safety. MineARC is available and on-hand during the entire project-planning and TBM design phase to ensure the best possible safety solution.
