Client Requirements & Challenges
The client required an engineered dust and fume extraction system compliant with Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) standards, designed specifically to control workplace particulate emissions and provide clean air for operators.
Engineering Solution Delivered
Project Overview
Apex Structural Steel operates intensive MIG and TIG welding bays producing structural steel assemblies. Welding fume evolution was impacting worker comfort and sightlines.
Engineering Solution
ADFC installed a centralized fume extraction manifold featuring 12 self-supporting 4-meter Dynaflex Fume Extraction Arms connected to a heavy-duty outdoor centrifugal exhaust fan with integrated spark trap plenum.
Results
Eliminated welding fume buildup at the operator breathing zone, significantly improving workplace safety and ventilation efficiency.
