Dust Suppression Solutions and Haul Road Dust Management
Road technologies for dust suppression is focussed on the mining and construction industries. Stop dust and provide safer haul road operating conditions, conducive to increased production, reduced cycle times and reduced secondary machinery on roads.
Haul Road Dust Control using environmentally friendly technologies
Dust Suppression – All Mine Roads
Dust Suppression for primary haul roads.
Dust-Binder is our flag-ship dust suppressant with complex natural and synthetic polymers that are mixed-in into the surface of primary and permanent haul roads for effective dust suppression. Dust-Binder can also be used as a spray on surface dust suppressant for ramps, in-pit and secondary roads. This solution results in minimal water usage for road dust suppression with maintenance applications only as required, saving up to 90% of the water that would have been used mitigating road dust.
Dust Suppression – Water Extender for Secondary or Temporary Roads
Temporary haul roads: Ramps, in-pit, bench roads.
Hydrogel water extender and dust suppressant is a polymer additive that reduces surface tension and improves haul road wetting.Hydrogel enhances the performance of water by up to 400%. Adding Hydrogel to the Water Cart whilst filling with water at a ratio of 1L concentrate to 1,000L of water is the standard recommended. Case Studies
Dust Suppression – Muckpiles, Loading and Tipping Areas
Mitigating dust during loading
Using our SuperWetter product in combination with specialist spray systems i.e. Water Truck canons and mist-canons to suppress dust created by the active mining process
Dust Suppression – Stockpiles, tailings and dumps
Control dust on stockpiles, tailings and dumps
Dust-Skin is a micro emulsion polymer product used to created a crust or veneer on the surface of non-trafficable exposed material. This stops dust as a result of wind. The crust can be short term (3-weeks) or long term (18-months). Dust-Skin can be applied using any conventional spray equipment
Dust Suppression – Specialist Spray Equipment and Water Cart Modifications
Specialist Spray Equipment
As distributors for Magnum Australia;
We ensure the market now has access to globally recognised specialist spray equipment such as Water Cart canons and spray valves, Truck wash canons and many other premium products.
Road Stabilisation – For Increased Compaction and Strength
Effectively treat insitu soil for strength and waterproofing
Road Stabilisation solutions for strength and increased density. Our products Road-Binder and Road-Compact can be used in a variety of soils to increase the performance of the insitu material.
Road Condition Monitoring – Maintenance Management and Road Auditing
Road surface condition monitoring for maintenance scheduling and performance benchmarking
The Road Condition Monitor is available to provide managers, auditors and pit supervisors vital information regarding the performance of site roads. This information assists in targeted maintenance, identifying trouble areas, haul road benchmarking and pit auditing.
Haul Road Design – Mechanistic Haul Road Design Approach
Mechanistic haul road design
Our haul road design methodology makes use of a mechanistic method to determine the maximum allowable strains in the haul road layers. Further we take a functional design approach to the selection of surface materials for minimal dust generation and tyre wear. These approaches allows optimum use of site materials in road building.
