Structural Construction and Containment
Sustainable Structural Construction and Containment
At Lamotheo RTN, we provide specialised underground construction services designed to strengthen the integrity, safety, and functionality of mining environments. Our Structural Construction and Containment solutions are built to withstand the demanding conditions of underground operations, with a clear focus on durability, compliance, and miner safety.
We combine technical expertise with high-quality materials to deliver structures that not only meet, but exceed industry standards — from everyday support walls to critical explosion containment systems.
Underground Structural Construction
We design, build, and maintain essential underground infrastructure tailored to the unique layout and ventilation needs of each mine. Our skilled construction teams are experienced in the installation of:
Support walls for airflow direction and chamber division
Ventilation walls that assist with air regulation
Permanent and temporary stoppings for operational control
Air-crossings to channel airflow safely between tunnels
Each structure is engineered to withstand the underground environment and promote safe, efficient operations. We also perform regular maintenance to ensure long-term stability and functionality.
Air-Crossings and Structural Integrity
Air-crossings are crucial to safe underground airflow. At Lamotheo RTN, we construct and maintain robust air-crossings that allow for the smooth flow of ventilation across mining sections without compromising the structural integrity of haulage or access roads.
Our team ensures:
Correct sizing and placement based on airflow modelling
Reinforced construction to withstand heavy equipment and pressure
Integration into the mine’s ventilation plan and safety strategy
These structures are not only functional but vital to emergency planning and day-to-day operational safety.
Explosion Containment Walls
(Up to 140Kpa)
In high-risk mining environments, explosion containment is critical. Lamotheo RTN offers the design and construction of explosion-resistant containment walls capable of withstanding up to 140 kilopascals (Kpa) of pressure. These walls act as blast barriers, protecting adjacent areas from the force of an explosive event.
Features of our containment structures include:
Pressure-tested construction methods and materials
Custom dimensions to suit the site layout
Secure anchoring and structural reinforcement
Compliance with industry explosion control standards
These solutions are especially valuable in gassy mines or areas handling combustible materials.
