Safety pods have recently played a vital role in protecting personnel who work in the operations that are related to tunneling and ditching in a way that they become indispensable for many mining facilities. This paper presents the design and implementation of a safety pod that can be used in low depth tunnels. The strategy of using finite element modeling to help in developing the preliminary design of the pod chassis structure has been discussed. A computer model of the safety pod chassis structure has been developed to refine the design and the simulation results show satisfactory safety factors under the expected loads. The full-scale pod has been built by a specialized contractor according to heavy protection equipment standards with considering the safety precautions and providing all documents related to inspection and maintenance to assure pod long service life as well as safe operation. The full details of the pod implementation process, used materials, material testing results, and the manufacturing stages according to detail drawings and blueprints are considered out of scope of this article and is going to be published in our upcoming article.
