About the Business.
From grain storage and handling to the marketing and processing of oilseeds, the company has grown substantially. It now operates over 150 receiving sites and boasts a storage capacity of more than 20 million metric tons, covering one of the largest regional networks along Australia’s eastern seaboard.
Business Challenge & Considerations.
To support its large-scale operations, the company identified the urgent need for improved ventilation in confined spaces, where hazardous gases, such as those caused by organic decay or metal corrosion, can accumulate. To maintain safe, compliant operations, a specialised ventilation solution was required. This system would ensure sufficient air volume flow in high-risk areas where natural ventilation alone is inadequate.
Fanquip Solution.
To address the risk of gas accumulation and meet air volume requirements, Fanquip implemented a mechanical ventilation system. The system consisted of a supply air fan drawing fresh air into the lower sections of the confined space to disperse harmful gases. The design utilised existing structures to accommodate space limitations while maintaining a safe work environment.
