Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Strata Worldwide is a leading global provider of products, services and technologies that promote a higher level of safety in the mining and energy sectors. Strata’s portfolio of safety products includes secondary underground roof supports, proximity detection and collision avoidance systems, wireless communications, tracking and gas detection andemergency refuge chambers. We also provide mining contract services and labor.

Strata’s mission is to provide state-of-the-art products and services that keep working environments both safe and productive. Our core values are to listen to customer needs and integrate honesty, integrity and the highest level of ethics into all aspects of our business.

Over the course of 22 years, we have established a large customer base built on trust by providing proven and reliable products, high quality service and timely customer support.

For twenty years, Strata Worldwide has been providing customers with high-quality products and services while anticipating and meeting industry trends and demands. Now, Strata has developed a revolutionary, comprehensive safety system to fulfill and exceed mining safety needs: the Strata Mine Awareness Platform (M.A.P.).

Strata M.A.P. is an integrated safety platform consisting of compatible and standalone systems and applications. The platform promotes complete mine-wide awareness for a higher level of safety while encouraging increased efficiency and productivity through technology and data. The Mine Awareness Platform features six systems: HazardAvert, CommTrac, ThroughEarth, MineMonitor, StrataConnect, and StrataLink

Strata Segmented Chambers (SERC) are complete safety systems identical in quality and functionality to standard emergency refuge chambers, but divided into equal segments for assembly underground. This unique design was developed to optimize transportation and handling and overcome entry shaft and/or handling restrictions on-site.

This unique design was developed to optimize transportation and handling and overcome entry shaft and/or handling restrictions on-site.

Segmented chambers are assembled underground and attach to the mine’s main compressor air lines and electrical power sources (if applicable). With this set-up the chambers provide an indefinite supply of refuge capabilities. The mine air passes through a specialized filtration system that performs a complete cleansing of the air before being released into the main chamber. This flow of air creates a positive pressure atmosphere and specialized relief valves maintain a safe internal pressure for the occupants. Power operates the internal and external LED lighting, location siren, carbon dioxide scrubber, optional atmospheric monitoring and air cooling systems.

Chambers are also equipped with a standard 12-96 hours of battery back-up and air supplies.  A bank of fully automatic 12/24-volt batteries at the rear of the chamber provide backup power and on-board oxygen cylinders along with the Strata ActiveAir™ carbon dioxide scrubber provide backup breathable air.

Strata ActiveAir™  utilizes spill-proof soda lime cartridges to remove CO2 and compressed oxygen cylinders to replenish oxygen levels. Flow- meters on each cylinder control oxygen flow rates. Strata ActiveAir is equipped with two Strata/Trolex Sentro 1 gas detectors to continuously monitor O2 and CO2 levels inside the chamber and alarm when gas levels rise or fall beyond safe ranges.

A timer on the scrubber, set according to the number of occupants, will sound an alarm when it is time to exchange the soda lime cartridges.
