Haul Road Maintenance & Dust Suppression Dynamics

 The versatility of DustChek™ is demonstrated by successful trials conducted on haul roads in the mining industry. DustChek™ also minimises the effect of wind erosion on stockpiles.

DustChek™ is an ecologically safe and OH&S compliant dust suppressant. It meets the highest industrial and environmental performance standards and contributes significantly to a reduction in the use of our most precious resource, water.

Using DustChek™ will assist mine site managers to achieve greater mechanical efficiencies and dust management outcomes. With as much as 90% of the water required in haul road maintenance schedules eliminated, reductions in fuel, tyre and service costs are realised.

This versatile product can be applied to any material and DustChek™ has also been used to suppress dust in vineyards, cotton gins and surrounding roads to minimise damage to valuable crops during harvest.

The function of DustChek™ is to:  

  • Provide a sustainable relatively dust-free solution for haul road surfaces.

  • Minimise airborne dust nuisance and improve visibility.

  • Reduce dust management operations and water costs.

  • Minimise vehicle operating and maintenance costs.

  • Reduce fugitive dust impacting on the surrounding environment.

  • Provide suitable ecological properties for the local environment. 

DustChek™ Features 

  • Improves physical condition of haul roads, creating tightly bound surfaces.

  • Maintains structural integrity of roads during adverse weather conditions.

  • Stabilises road surface to reduce tyre wear.

  • Grading and road maintenance requirements reduced.

  • Increased production due to improved road conditions including reduced time recovery of wet road surfaces.

  • Biodegradable, non-hazardous and non-toxic.

  • Contains no petroleum by-products or sulphonates.

  • Mixes easily with water in low mix ratios.

  • Logistics savings as it is delivered as powder and mixed on site.
