Refuge Alternative

RA™ module is a new optional add-on, utilising Multiflux to generate modelling of heat and moisture in refuge alternatives over time.

The primary function of a refuge alternative (RA) is to provide safe refuge for miners unable to escape their work area immediately after a disaster due to toxic gases or a blocked escapeway. To be effective, the RA must survive the initiation of the disaster, and provide an environment in which the miners can survive for the duration of the event. The module will assist in confirming the number of occupants and the time of entrapment that can be sustained during the disaster in a wide variety of external conditions.
