Deep-Shaft Development

Integrated PRM for deep-shaft construction

Triton delivers an integrated Protective Risk Management and Emergency Response service across a major deep-shaft mining development for a FTSE-listed global mining major — one of the UK's most complex infrastructure programmes.

The model fuses security, safety and emergency response into a single operational capability, eliminating duplication and improving response times across an environment defined by depth, scale and regulated complexity.


Project Engagement

Engagement Overview

Triton supports the client at the deep-shaft project with a multi-skilled, integrated PRM model built around shaft and underground operational realities.


Underground Risk Environment

The Challenge

The project presents one of the most complex risk environments in UK construction, demanding seamless integration of security, safety and emergency response across multiple contractors and sites.

  • Deep shaft construction (up to 1,800m)
  • 40km underground tunnel
  • Multiple high risk, regulated environments
  • Seamless integration of security, safety and emergency response
  • Coordinated support across multiple contractors and sites

EPSO Integrated Model

The Triton Solution

Triton deployed a multi-skilled integrated model led by Enhanced Protection Service Officers (EPSOs), combining protective, medical and rescue capability under a unified command.

  • Enhanced Protection Service Officers (EPSOs)
  • Integrated medical, rescue and security capability
  • Full Emergency Preparedness & Response Planning (EPRP)
  • Confined space and underground rescue capability
