Underground carrier ROPS FOPS Canopy Design

Northern Ontario

A client had an existing canopy to which they wanted to modify such that it would meet ROPS (Rollover Protection Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) standards.

Shield leveraged its advanced FEA (Finite Element Analysis) capabilities to design a ROPS & FOPS structure that would meet/exceed applicable Canadian governing standards.

Shield performed various implicit and explicit FEA analyses to ensure that all design aspects of the canopy would meet/exceed code and physical testing requirements.
