In general, tunnel duct have 2 types:
The ventilation type of a tunnel is determined by several factors:
The length of the tunnel and the size of the tunnel section.
The specific construction method and environmental conditions.

Mechanical Ventilation: This is the most frequently used method. On such occasions, you have to use tunnel ventilation hose to ensure proper airflow.
