Location
Project outline
PeBeKa S.A. has specialized in the comprehensive construction of central air-conditioning systems for the mine. It creates such systems for the needs of LGOM for over a dozen years, using the latest technologies.
Greatest challenges
The increase in the temperature prevailing in the excavations is related to the increase in the depth of the deposit, the increasing distance of the exploitation fields from the downhill shafts supplying air to the mine and the use of a large number of machines with internal combustion engines.
Therefore, despite intensive ventilation, the air supplied is hot and needs to be cooled to a temperature that allows work to be carried out by people - that is, not exceeding 28 Celsius degrees!
