Experimental Mine Barbara
Overview
An experimental mine for testing devices, materials and procedures in real underground conditions, with a strong focus on industrial and mining safety.
Characterisation
The final profile should present dated BSUIN/EUL measurements and facility information with traceable references.
- Underground layout and experimental areas
- Ventilation and environmental conditions
- Specialised safety-test infrastructure
- Instrumentation and monitoring
- Operational and regulatory constraints
Source-review status: detailed values and report references still need to be transferred, dated and checked with the facility operator.
Usage
- Testing devices, materials and procedures
- Fire, explosion and mine-safety research
- Training and validation in realistic conditions
Current activities
Specific testing capabilities, preparation requirements and scheduling must be agreed with the operator.
Possibilities
- Safety-product and procedure validation
- Fire, explosion and ventilation studies
- Emergency-response training and demonstrations
