| Enquiries rise for temporary ventilation | 03-05-07 |
The fact that you are reading this information via the expediency of the internet speaks volumes for our belief that ducting needs can be quite visible through this interactive medium.
Through the growing number of online publications serving the industrial sectors of Australia and New Zealand (which reach all parts of the world), we have been able to report an exponential increase in enquiries for temporary tunnel ventilation and tunnel ducting.
The rapid advancements of the technology serving the building and construction sectors as well as mining and tunnelling has forced a rethink in ducting specifications for project managers.
Monitoring this change would have been impossible not to many years ago, but the advent of the Internet has made it clear what the market is now demanding.
Key word searches through various Internet search engines have been tallied and these provided accurate information on enquiries for most industrial technologies and processes.
In our sphere of interest, ‘temporary tunnel ventilation ducts’ and ‘temporary ventilation ducts’ are phrases shown to be recurring through search engines and this has raised awareness that temporary and/or relocatable ducting is now absolutely necessary right across the board in heavy industries.
Part of the reasoning for the demand is that technology such as digging, earthmoving, tunnelling and crushing equipment is now at such a high standard that ‘fixed’ ducting systems are not cost-effective as jobs are completed far more quickly than they were, say, 20 years ago.
Plus there is so much more large-scale machinery implemented right across these industries that steel ducting is commonly damaged whereas collapsible and relocatable ducting that may be bumped by large machinery does not puncture anywhere near as easily.
This has all led to a surge in sales of our MobyDuct product, which is fast being viewed as the answer to applications such as these.
The antistatic, flame retardant MobyDuct ventilation ducting is a reinforced PVC ducting with internal spring steel and helix and PVC wear strip.
It is durable and widely applicable and has the exact properties required by heavy industries such as mining and tunnelling which rely upon high-performance for results and upkeep of extreme safety measures.
MobyDuct is flame retardant and has a wide temperature resistance ranging from 0°C right up to 50°C.
Engineers and project managers on major tunnelling projects need to be reassured that workers in underground conditions can be provided with uninterrupted ventilation.
Eximo carries stocks of MobyDuct to also ensure fast availability as underground projects cannot afford waiting times for any aspect of their operation.
MobyDuct is available in diameters ranging from 600mm to 1200mm.The product is available with suspension strip, hooks and wires, and is also supplied with cuff couplings or end rings.
All items in the MobyDuct range are available in 5m lengths and 10m lengths.
Although the large proportion of requests are made for MobyDuct to be supplied in white colour, other colours are available to order.
The antistatic, lightweight, flame retardant and rot resistant properties of the product ensure it performs to its maximum capacity over an extremely long lifespan.
