Abstract

Purpose. To formulate the main recomendations to the elimination of accidents in underground subway structures under construction.

Methods. Empirical research methods are used in the work (determining the dependence of the protective action time of a compressed air breathing apparatus (CABA) on ambient temperature), the method of theoretical analysis of literary sources when evaluating research in the field of accident elimination in underground subway structures under construction. The results were processed using the evaluation method and theoretical generalization of the data obtained.

Findings. Based on the conducted experimental studies, the dependences of the time of the protective action of the CABA on the ambient air temperature in underground workings have been determined. The main approaches to the elimination of accidents in underground subway structures under construction have been identified, taking into account the design features of these facilities and the need for special services to cooperate in mine rescue operations.

Application field of research. The research results can be used by the Ministry of Emergency Situations when developing recommendations for emergency rescue operations in underground subway structures under construction.
