Ensure Air Quality and Save Money on Construction Dust Control

Following the EPA regulations regarding dust control can become difficult over time without the right advice and the best production the market under your belt. In the construction, mining and civil industries, dust control is important not only to protect the environment but can also lead to an increase in productivity.

There are many primary issues to deal with in the management of dust, these include:

  • Dust scattered due to traffic on unsealed roads.
  • Health issues for workers and residents of local towns.
  • Issues with local wildlife and environments.
  • Large quantities of water used to over water roads.
  • Reducing dust management costs.
  • Reduction in productivity from excessive dust on mine roads.

 

When a road is in a poor condition, it increases the roll resistance of vehicles, thus incrementing running costs and wear and tear on parts; and reduces the efficiency of the entire vehicle force. By using the right products for construction dust control, it is possible to save money. You will avoid the over watering of roads, bring down the maintenance cost of vehicles, and reduce the cost of hauling materials on a mine or construction site.

There are many suppression programs that construction dust control reduction can focus on. Reducing the amount of dust on the roads is one of the most important factors and should have priority. There is an impact on air quality each time loose materials are moved around, particularly on uncovered vehicles. There are products to help reduce the likelihood of these materials becoming dispersed into the air. Bodies of water and waterways also need to be protected from dust pollution, so there are products made to reduce the erosion of materials and water banks. In the event of asbestos being found on a demolition, ASBESTOS GUARD can be used to help limit the ability for asbestos particles to become airborne.
