Over 500 construction workers die every year because of long-term dust exposure
What's your ventilation strategy?
Construction activities include common tasks like drilling, sanding, and grinding materials. The majority of which contain silica particles or produce other dust posing a risk to the human respiratory system. According to UK government agency, a number of construction workers die or are at risk of acquiring respiratory diseases due to long-term dust exposure.
Ventilation is the primary method used to extract hazardous dust and fumes from the workplace. It can provide consistent and adjustable air pressure and incorporate heating, cooling, and air purification functions for safe and comfortable working conditions.
Common problems Fanquip can solve:
- Extreme weather temperatures
- Silica dust, asbestos, and other air contaminants
- Uncomfortable working or living conditions.
- Hard to breathe stale and odourous air that can cause sickness.
- Fines or shutdown due to breaches in clean air regulations.

Case study: The west gate tunnel project
Fanquip installed 18 x motorised 1200mm Vertical Discharge Fans. These were supplied complete with Direct On Line (DOL) fan control cabinets.
The West Gate Tunnel Project is a proposed freeway tunnel in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The goal of this project is to relieve traffic congestion on the West Gate Bridge, create new links to the Port of Melbourne and support the travel needs of growing regional populations. Design & construction of the West Gate Freeway involves widening the freeway from 8 to 12 lanes between the M80 Ring Road and Williamstown Road, as well as 2.8km eastbound tunnel and 4km westbound tunnel.
