Compressed air plays a critical role in mining. It powers drills, tools, and dust suppression systems every day. At Patrick Mechanical Ltd., we design and install compressed air piping systems that perform reliably, reduce energy waste, and meet all code requirements.
We recently completed an installation at a Northern Ontario mine. The result? A durable and efficient system that supports high-demand operations with confidence.
Why Compressed Air Systems Matter
Compressed air systems are vital to underground productivity. However, they can be one of the costliest utilities when poorly managed. Leaks, pressure loss, and inefficient layouts increase energy costs and disrupt operations.
That’s why we focus on efficiency from day one. Our team designs systems that maintain steady pressure and reduce unnecessary energy use. As a result, our clients benefit from lower operating costs and better long-term performance.
TSSA-Certified Installations, Built to Last
Every system we install is backed by TSSA certification. Our team holds multiple authorizations for piping fabrication and field work, including:
- Process Piping (ASME B31.3) – TSSA QA-01701
- Power Piping (ASME B31.1) – TSSA QA-01700
- Boiler & Pressure Vessel Repair – TSSA QA-01702
These certifications mean our work meets the highest standards for safety and quality—on every project, in every environment.
Smarter Planning, Faster Delivery
Mining projects often take place in remote areas. This makes smart planning essential. To save time on-site, we prefabricate key components in our shop. This reduces install time and avoids costly delays.
We also use our Alternate Piping Process authorization (TSSA QA-10554) to streamline inspection requirements. That means faster approvals and more efficient project execution
Built Right. Backed by Experience.
At Patrick Mechanical, we’ve been supporting mining and industrial clients for over 35 years. From compressed air piping to full mechanical builds, we deliver code-compliant systems with long-term value in mind.
When performance and reliability matter, trust a team that’s certified, experienced, and ready to get the job done right.
