Track Record
- Daniel has worked on a long-term ventilation and cooling model review for a Coal Mine in Queensland, Australia. During this time he has achieved significant cost savings as well as enhanced the efficiency of the existing ventilation and cooling systems.
- At an Iron Ore Mine in Sweden, Daniel was instrumental in achieving a fully functional underground heating and ventilation system without requiring surface alterations. This marked the first instance of a mine in Scandinavia using an underground electric heating system with a return ventilation system, successfully addressing environmental and visual concerns.
- Daniel has been involved in addressing the immediate need for a cooling system due to existing temperatures in an underground mine in Brazil. The plant was commissioned from detailed engineering to full operation in less than 18 months, an achievement notable for the rapid transition between engineering stages, which emphasized the project’s efficiency and timely execution.
- In order to showcase an innovative approach to mine ventilation, Daniel developed engineering solutions for a Zinc Mine in Ireland that, due to low efficiency due to surface temperatures, did not include cooling plants. The project was able to efficiently manage heat without the reliance on traditional cooling systems.
- At a Copper Mine in Peru, Daniel designed a system that considered the integration of sensors for a ventilation control system. This led to the successful and innovative implementation of an advanced push-pull ventilation system with centrifugal fans and a sophisticated control system.
