Mining & Quarry Dust Control Services & Solutions
Mining & Quarry Haul Road Dust Control
Quarries and mining sites are usually hives of activity, which can produce large volumes of dust and polluting the air. Haul roads experience high traffic of heavy equipment daily. The dust can cause wear and tear over time to the equipment by clogging filters and adding stress to expensive equipment parts. It can also harm the health and safety of the site workers. When dust leaves the property it can affect the health of everyone.
Mining and quarry managers need to have an extensive dust control program to guarantee the site productivity and minimize the impact on the surrounding area. The Gasaway Company understands that each site is unique and each location needs its own specific solution. We utilize over 43 years of experience to create tailored mining and quarry dust abatement solutions for operations throughout Illinois.

Why Do Mines & Quarries Need Dust Control?
Dust is inevitable in mines and quarries, with drilling and blasting occurring alongside vehicles that are continuously moving on haul roads throughout the site. This can have an impact on the health and safety of workers. When rock, stone, sand, and clay are blasted, Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) can be released into the air. This troublesome mineral can cause many health problems if workers inhale particles. It is regulated by the EPA to protect workers, the environment, and neighbors.
Dust is the result of high traffic loads, wind and dry ambient conditions. The surface of poorly maintained roads increases the formation of fugitive dust. The constant traffic load of a quarry grinds the aggregate creating the dust that escapes into the air. Site managers must pay close attention to environmental conditions in order to comply with EPA permits.

Benefits Of Dust Control
raditional methods of mine and quarry dust control require ongoing treatments. However, our science-based formulas and advanced application technology ensure that you get longer-lasting protection with fewer applications.
Other significant benefits of our dust control programs include:
Better Air Quality
By removing fine particles from the air and minimizing dust, the air quality will significantly improve. Health and Safety issues are reduced. The impact on the local environment is reduced.
Reduced Surface Erosion
Potholes and ruts slowly develop as the road base deteriorates. These uneven surfaces can lead to damaged vehicles and injuries to employees, all while slowing down production times. Our programs fit seamlessly with your other preventative maintenance programs to minimize any delays or damage to equipment.
Controlling Dust On Haul Roads
Each site has its unique requirements, so the best strategy for controlling dust will depend on the nature of the road base and environmental conditions. As we are locally based in Illinois, we understand the different types of aggregates and the best methods to employ for mine and quarry dust abatement for the location of your site.
To effectively control dust, it is essential to have a strategic dust control program. Surfaces need to be adequately prepared before a dust suppressant is applied. Our science-based suppressants have been formulated to bind effectively with a variety of dust particles, minimizing dust in the process.
Our team will provide detailed recommendations on the best quarry dust control products to use for your site so that you gain optimum protection.
