Mining, mineral extraction and tunnelling are inherently high risk environments where the impact of a fire can have catastrophic consequences. Challenges abound above and below ground. In addition to cabinets housing essential electrical control equipment - many of which may well be essential to life preservation- mines typically have a host of other "micro-environment" fire safety challenges. These range from emergency lighting installations to essentialpower cabling installations, generators, batteries and UPS equipment, conveyors, lifts, control rooms, sub-stations and fuel stores. Heavy plant and machinery and vehicles engine compartments and breaking systems also have to be protected. The only truly effective solution is to provide each of these "micro-environments" with dedicated, intrinsically-safe, risk-specific fire detection and suppression. This calls for the use of tried-and-tested technology that is completely self-contained, requires no external power source, is not affected by atmospheric contamination, and can withstand the punishing underground working environment.
