Site RVT Group:
When working in confined or enclosed spaces, such as basements, tunnels, pits and shafts, poor air quality can put the health of your workers at significant risk. Contaminated air can have an adverse effect on both your immediate and long-term health, and in the most severe cases, can be fatal.
Every day, a huge range of construction activities are carried out that generate airborne hazards. If left uncontrolled, dangerous dust and fume can be inhaled by workers on site, causing short term discomfort and laying the foundations for serious health conditions in later life.
The effect of poor air quality varies substantially depending on the exposure time, type of contaminant and concentration of contaminant. Therefore, without an effective ventilation system in place on site, workers could experience anything from dizziness, fatigue and nausea to lung disease, heart disease and cancer. In the most severe instances, poor air quality can even result in death.
Let an RVT consultant handle the complex calculations for you!
Every project is different and poses its own interesting challenges. Ideally you will be looking to dilute the hazard by forcing clean air into the work space or using positive pressure ventilation to purge the hazard, however there are many scenarios in which you might also consider negative pressure extraction.
If you do not have an effective ventilation solution it can have a significant impact on workers' health. The effect of poor air quality varies substantially depending on the exposure time, type of contaminant and concentration of contaminant. Workers could therefore experience anything from dizziness, fatigue and breathing problems, to lung disease and heart disease. In the most severe instances, poor air quality can result in death.
Calculating ventilation requirements can be tricky and there are a number of things to consider;
We recommend speaking to a fully trained RVT consultant to help you install a fully effective, reliable and robust Ventex ventilation solution on site.
Every project poses its own unique challenges, so we supply both axial and centrifugal fans to cater for your specific site needs. Our fans come in a variety of sizes and ducting is also available. Our consultants can create bespoke systems which will improve and maintain the air quality on your site.
RVT offer a wide range of ventilation solutions which are available to hire.
RVT offer both Axial and Centrifugal fans; both of which have different benefits depending on the situation
Ventex fans can move up to 120,000 m3 of fresh hour per hour depending on the model selected, ideal for top down construction projects
The Ventex range is specifically designed to maintain high pressure over long duct runs, ideal for tunnels and sewers
Many of the units can easily be pushed into position and plugged into a 110v supply
Multiple units can be used together to cover an even larger area
Ventex fans are durable and reliable, ensuring you don't have any downtime on site
When teamed with our Dustex range, the fans can be used to create negative pressure in order to stop dust migration
Ideal for tunnel and basement ventilation
“This is the first time I have done business with the RVT Group and based on the experience it will not be the last if I need to hire portable dust extraction equipment again.”
