Flexible Brattice for Mine Ventilation Control
GMS Mine Repair & Maintenance provides and installs high-quality Brattice, a fundamental component for effective ventilation control in underground mining and tunneling operations. Our brattice materials are designed to create temporary or semi-permanent walls that direct airflow, prevent air short-circuiting, and guide fresh air to working faces while safely removing contaminated air. Available in various durable, fire-retardant, and MSHA-compliant materials, GMS brattice solutions are crucial for optimizing ventilation circuits, improving air quality, and enhancing safety in active mining areas. By choosing GMS, you ensure precise airflow management, leading to improved working conditions and operational efficiency.
VentaTex® & VentaLene® Series Fabrics
VentaTex® and VentaLene® fabrics incorporate synthetic scrims that are produced by overstitching a non-woven web. This produces a scrim with a unique geometric pattern. The substrate is laminated using PVC films, resulting in a strong, low-maintenance, fire-resistant fabric excellent for brattice and flexible ducting applications.
VentaTex® and VentaLene® fabrics with RipStop feature heavier yarns staggered sequentially in either a uni-directional or bi-directional pattern. The result is a fabric that prevents a small snag from developing into a major tear. Mine fabrics comply with all applicable United States Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations and policies. Extensive laboratory testing gives you peace of mind that your product will perform at specific, documented rating strengths.
