Dust control solutions on construction sites are not just needed but are by law required...
Dust control measures are practices that help reduce surface and air movement of dust from disturbed soil surfaces. Dust Control using moisture is the safest and most economical method but there are a range of solutions such as vegetative cover, mulch, irrigation and spray-on adhesives. They are used to reduce surface and air movement of dust during land disturbing, demolition and construction activities.
Construction sites are good candidates for dust control measures because land disturbance from clearing and excavation generates a large amount of soil disturbance and open space for wind to pick up dust particles. These airborne particles pose a dual threat to the environment and human health;
- Dust can be carried off-site, thereby increasing soil loss from the construction area and increasing the likelihood of sedimentation and water pollution.
- Blowing dust particles can contribute to respiratory health problems and create an inhospitable working environment.
Earthmoving activities are the major source of dust from construction sites, but traffic and general disturbances can also be major contributors.
Dust control solutions are applicable to any construction site where dust is created and there is the potential for air and water pollution from dust travelling across the landscape or through the air. Dust control solutions should be implemented on all construction sites where there will be major soil disturbances or heavy construction activity, such as clearing, excavation, demolition, or excessive vehicle traffic.
Water Carts Direct provides an economical dust control solution by utilising quality, easy to use, water trucks to spray water around early stage construction sites. A range of water trucks are available for hire or sale for small to large construction site dust control problems. Water Trucks can provide dust control in the early construction stages and stay on the job to provide irrigation for newly seeded areas for re-vegetation or landscaping during the project completion.
Contact Water Carts Direct to discuss your dust control problems and let us provide the best water truck deal for your situation.
The NSW EPA have put together an interesting booklet titled "No Dust No Fuss" - guidelines for controlling dust from construction sites.
