Dust-A-Side Australia offers advanced solutions for soil and road stabilisation, dust and erosion control, dust suppression systems, and site water management tailored for civil and land development construction projects. These solutions aim to enhance project efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
With a proven track record in both public and private infrastructure projects, Dust-A-Side Australia provides products that deliver exceptional strength and durability while maintaining flexibility.
Regulatory Compliance
Construction sites generate dust from various sources such as excavation, demolition, and material handling, requiring comprehensive dust management plans and continuous monitoring to ensure compliance with various local, state and federal regulations. The need for real-time adaptation to changing weather conditions, which can exacerbate dust dispersion, further complicates efforts.
Water Management
Spraying water on access roads is a common practice to control airborne dust on construction sites; however this can be problematic in areas facing water scarcity or stringent water use regulations.
Constant spraying of water also leads to muddy conditions which can slow or even halt work altogether.
Environmental Impacts
The dynamic nature of construction activities, including land clearing, excavation, and waste management, can lead to soil erosion, water pollution, habitat disruption, and air quality degradation. Erosion control is a particularly critical consideration on large sites, often involving costly measures such as sediment basins or less efficient techniques like progressive clearing. Balancing construction objectives with environmental stewardship requires ongoing coordination and a commitment to sustainable practices.
Health and Safety Concerns
Dust from activities like excavation, demolition, and material handling can pose serious respiratory hazards to workers, necessitating stringent dust control measures to prevent health issues such as silicosis and other respiratory conditions. Additionally, dust can obscure vision, creating hazardous conditions for operating heavy machinery and increasing the risk of accidents.
Dust-A-Side Australia provide effective dust control that is essential for public works projects.
Dust Binders
When high volumes of untreated water is sprayed daily to suppress dust on roads and materials, the costs can quickly escalate. Untreated water is also ineffective in suppressing dust in high temperatures, requiring continuous watering and resulting in additional labour and/or fuel costs.
Dust-A-Side Australia’s range of binder products – including HydroTac, AquaTarp and DAS Product – are designed to enhance the effectiveness of water and offer a more sustainable and cost-effective approach to dust control in construction sites.
Erosion Control
Dust-A-Side Australia offers cost-effective polymer dust control and erosion management solutions that can be easily applied to manage broadscale cleared areas, exposed surfaces, stockpiles, batter slopes, and drainage paths.
Fog Cannons
Fog cannons are portable dust suppression units that disperse a fine mist over large areas. These units help clients meet and exceed regulatory dust control requirements, reduce environmental impact, and promote sustainability. Commonly used on civil construction sites during excavation, demolition, and earthmoving activities, fog cannons effectively reduce airborne dust, improve air quality and visibility, and are suitable for windy locations with sand dust as well as urban development sites.
Road Stabilisation
Dust-A-Side Australia’s road management solutions have been successfully applied in both public and private infrastructure projects, providing exceptional strength and durability while remaining flexible.
These stabilisation solutions enhance natural materials, upgrade existing roads, and strengthen newly quarried materials. Our flagship bitumen emulsion product, DAS Product, can be applied onto the surface of access roads via a series of light dilutions. Repeated application leads to the progressive buildup of a bitumen-sealed surface that binds surface material together and prevents water ingress.
