Why is Dust Control Important?
Dust generated from construction sites can negatively impact health, the environment, and the community.
Health Risks: Exposure to dust can cause various respiratory problems, such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. It can also exacerbate allergies and asthma.
Environmental Impact: Dust can harm the environment by causing soil erosion, reducing visibility, and contaminating water and air quality.
Community Impact: Dust can affect the quality of life in nearby communities by creating nuisances such as dust and noise.
Regulatory Compliance: Construction companies must comply with environmental and health regulations that require dust control measures.
Types of Dust Suppression Systems
Fine dust can be significantly reduced using water mist from hose lines with fogging nozzles fitted every 1 or 2 meters. These can be positioned on boundary fencing or hoarding, scaffolding levels and in the warehouse ceiling and fed by a high-pressure water pump.
Here are some types of dust suppression systems:
Mist spray cannons: These systems use pressurised water to create a fine mist that settles dust particles. They can be mounted on trucks, trailers, or stationary structures.
Chemical dust suppressants: These chemical solutions, which can be natural or synthetic, are sprayed onto surfaces to bind dust particles together.
Smart dust suppression systems: These systems use IoT technology to monitor and adjust misting levels in real-time.
Customised dust suppression systems: These systems can be tailored to specific projects.
