Strata’s chambers are intended for the critical purpose of providing a breathable atmosphere, isolated from potentially contaminated air in the working section. Once inside, adequate breathing air, food, water and LED lighting is available for a designated number of people over a designated period of time.
Chambers can be constructed specifically for tunnelling applications. They are mounted directly onto Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM’s), onto rails or placed within the tunnel while construction operations are active. Read more here.
StrataConnect™ DigitalBRIDGE™ and DigitalBRIDGE Plus+™ are simple, yet innovative network solutions for transmitting high-speed Ethernet data for the deployment of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) devices. These networks can be incorporated into existing infrastructures or can stand on their own. Ethernet end-point devices can be added at any point along these networks and are connected and powered by the cable.
DigitalBRIDGE™ utilises industrial grade coaxial cable to carry power and high-speed Ethernet data. It can be seamlessly integrated with existing fibre optic networks to extend or replace the fibre.
DigitalBRIDGE Plus+™ utilises leaky feeder cable to carry power and high-speed Ethernet data, while providing VHF radio communications. The DigitalBRIDGE Plus+™ line amplifiers enable integration with mine networks to insert Ethernet data into leaky feeder cable.

Wireless, battery powered gas detectors can be suspended or placed wherever required to monitor gas levels. Early warning alarms alert personnel on-site of increasing harmful gas. Real-time readings and any potential alerts can be streamed to the surface for live monitoring of underground conditions. The gas detector units have interchangeable sensor modules that are very quick and easy to exchange. Up to 64 different gases can be selected.
