Trinity Resources demonstrates mobile mine safety chamber at WV

Posted: Updated:

A West Virginia company is working on a piece of equipment designed to keep miners safer.

Trinity Resources demonstrated it's a mobile mine safety chamber last week at the West Virginia Mining Symposium in Charleston.

The company, headquartered in Putnam County, has been working on the project for about three years, company officials said.

The device resembles a big steel box on bulldozer tracks and is designed to keep underground miners safe in the event of an explosion or collapse.
