Abstract
Challenges in ventilation management for deep underground mines grow as mining operations extend deeper because of increased temperatures and humidity. The combination of environmental factors in deep underground mines poses risks to worker safety and health while negatively affecting operational cost efficiency. Efficient ventilation system optimization delivers fresh air effectively, dilutes dangerous gases, and removes excess heat while achieving energy savings. The integration of advanced technologies like Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) enhances this paper's exploration of real-time monitoring and visualization capabilities within ventilation networks. Demand-driven ventilation and energy-optimized fan operations decrease energy costs while meeting environmental standards. These intelligent systems ensure deep mining industries thrive over time through their management of occupational health alongside resource efficiency and environmental considerations. The review reveals essential knowledge regarding ventilation system design and optimization while showcasing best practices and modern advancements that promote safety and sustainability in mining operations.
