Parachute Stoppings

Coned Parachute Stoppings

Coned Parachute Stoppings are used to provide an effective temporary vent control, often used for sealing off old stopes and creating temporary vent circuits. The cone shape of the parachutes is designed to create a better seal in the drive, providing up to a 95% effective seal.

All Parachutes are manufactured from high wear material, additional webbing reinforcement can be included for higher situational pressures. Available in standard and custom sizing. Parachutes can be manufactured to suit specific tunnel profiles or pressure capacities.

Flat Parachute Stopping

Flat parachute stoppings are made with the same high wear material as our coned parachute stoppings and are typically used to seal existing vent controls such as ventilation doors and fabricated stoppings.
