At Dust-A-Side Australia, we offer a comprehensive range of erosion control products tailored to meet the diverse needs of civil, mining, quarrying, construction, and other projects. Our soil erosion control methods are cost-effective and deliver exceptional results with minimal product usage, reducing both wind and water erosion.
The binder content in our products effectively mitigates wind erosion, while the addition of a sealing agent helps reduce water erosion. Our simple application process eliminates the need for additional treatments, resulting in long-term savings on water and maintenance costs.
Dust-A-Side Australia’s solutions are easy to apply, environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and non-hazardous. They also reduce the runoff of fertilisers and pesticides, improving germination rates and overall project outcomes.
Key Challenges Facing Erosion Control
Soil Stabilisation
Soils with high sodium content, known as sodic soils, are particularly susceptible to erosion and can negatively impact road infrastructure. Soil stabilisation is critical for successful road construction, especially in mining and exploration activities where natural drainage patterns are disrupted. Effective soil stabilisation prevents erosion and supports environmentally safe operations.
Water Management
Managing water to control dust and erosion can be challenging, especially in areas with limited water resources or strict water use regulations. Excessive water application can also create operational issues, such as muddy conditions that can slow down or halt activities.
Environmental Impacts
Wind erosion can cause significant environmental damage, including loss of topsoil, air pollution, and water contamination. Adopting sustainable dust and erosion control practices is essential to minimise these impacts and meet regulatory compliance standards.
Health and Safety Concerns
Erosion and dust generated from exposed surfaces can create health risks, such as respiratory issues, and reduce visibility, leading to increased accident risks. Implementing robust erosion control measures is vital to ensure worker safety and protect the surrounding environment.
Minimise wind and water erosion with Dust-A-Side Australia’s range of targeted solutions
Our Targeted Solutions for Erosion Control
Dust Binders
Products such as HydroTac, AquaTarp and DAS Product are designed for easy application on surfaces requiring erosion control. AquaTarp is a solvent-free, water and surfactant-based emulsion of latex polymer, suitable for use on roads, civil earthworks, hardstands, stockpiles, revegetation sites, rail wagons, and other exposed surfaces. This non-toxic, environmentally friendly formula has been extensively tested in various environments, delivering fast and effective results.
Road Design and Stabilisation
Dust-A-Side Australia’s road management solutions have been successfully applied in both public and private infrastructure projects, offering exceptional strength and durability while maintaining flexibility. Our stabilisation solutions enhance natural materials, upgrade existing roads, and reinforce newly quarried materials.
Our flagship bitumen emulsion product, DAS Product, can be applied to the surface of access roads using a series of light dilutions. The repeated application and penetration properties of the formulation create a progressive build-up of a bitumen-sealed surface that binds materials together and prevents water ingress.
