Engineering and consultancy for mine ventilation, occupational hygiene and environmental compliance — now serving South Africa from Cape Town, backed by the AES group's track record across Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia, the DRC and Ghana.
Airflow Environmental Solutions South Africa is the South African operation of the AES group, an engineering and consultancy company with roots in Zimbabwe and operations across Southern Africa. Our primary mandate is to provide top-tier mine ventilation, occupational hygiene and environmental services tailored to the needs of the mining and processing industry.
From our Cape Town base we deliver a comprehensive, world-class service package aligned with South African legislation — the Mine Health and Safety Act, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, NEMA and the National Water Act — and with the demands of the global 4th industrial revolution.
We provide a comprehensive range of mine ventilation engineering services: the design, implementation and maintenance of optimal ventilation systems that prioritise safety, efficiency and productivity, in line with the Mine Health and Safety Act.
Yes. The Department of Employment and Labour's revised occupational health framework replaces the Environmental Regulations for Workplaces with the Physical Agents Regulations, expanding requirements around heat and cold stress, lighting, indoor air quality, vibration and non-ionising radiation. We help employers assess their exposure risk and build compliant monitoring programmes ahead of enforcement.
We support Environmental Impact Assessments under NEMA and the EIA Regulations, Water Use Licence Applications under the National Water Act, waste licensing and air quality licensing — from screening through to authorisation and ongoing compliance monitoring.
By optimising ventilation systems we help mines reduce energy consumption and operational costs. Our focus on sustainability minimises environmental impact, aligning operations with responsible mining practice and ESG expectations — a balance that supports long-term success.
We use advanced technology, rigorous testing and adherence to industry standards to ensure our refuge chambers, lifeline systems and evacuation products are reliable and effective in critical situations.
