Ensuring Safe and Efficient Mine Ventilation with RPC Mine Vent Duct (MVD)

Orange mine vent ducts with RPC stencilling

Proper ventilation in mine shafts isn’t just a regulatory requirement—it’s essential for worker safety, operational efficiency, and environmental control. A well-designed ventilation system removes harmful gases, controls temperature, and maintains breathable air, reducing the risks associated with underground mining.

Engineered and manufactured in Australia, RPC delivers industry-leading Mine Ventilation Duct (MVD) solutions, engineered from fibreglass GRP to provide a cost-effective, fit-for-purpose system that meets Fire Retardant Anti-Static (FRAS) standards. Our ducts undergo rigorous vacuum and conductivity testing to ensure consistent quality and compliance with TRG 3608 requirements.

For operations demanding even lighter, high-performance solutions, our Lightweight Mine Vent Duct (LWMVD) range—crafted from carbon fibre—offers ultra-lightweight durability without compromising safety or efficiency. With more than 30 years of experience in mine ventilation RPC has the expertise to tailor solutions to your specific site requirements.
