Mines are typically huge, complex sites that remain in operation for years on end. That means an enormous workforce. It means a broad range of equipment. It means highly specialized equipment, power and heating needs - each one specific to a different area of the site, the task at hand and time of year. Given all these moving parts, when it comes to temporary heat, where on earth should you start?
As we’ll see in our webinar, there are some winterization tasks that apply to just about any mining site. However, your precise heating needs also depend on where you are in the lifecycle of your mine.
A fundamental mistake made by many mining operations is choosing temporary heating based solely on the rental rate, rather than a thorough analysis of the full lifecycle or operational design. This mismatch of priorities leads to all kinds of unforeseen and often severe safety breaches at sites.
A heating plan you can rely on needs to factor in the surrounding environment for where the heat source will be located. What else is situated close by that could be affected by this heat or the equipment used to generate it? Will workers be based close by, too? If so, will they be affected negatively by the heat or other emissions?
