Safely climb to surface in emergencies

Safescape Laddertube is a state-of-the-art escapeway system designed specifically for use in underground mines. Well over 300 ladderways have now been installed at more than 63 mines worldwide.

A fully-enclosed, durable polyethylene product, Safescape is not impacted by water, salt or other mineral deposits. It requires minimal upkeep, fits comfortably within a 1m diameter raise and provides great user safety. It is simply and efficiently installed to any practical length.

Safescape’s modular Laddertube is made from strong, lightweight plastic and is easily installed as an escapeway or manway for underground mines. Being fully enclosed, it keeps out rocks, water and salt build up that might slow an escape. And the bright yellow plastic won’t corrode or degrade over time.

  • Annulus between Safescape Laddertube and the excavation can be filled
