Dust-A-Side Australia offers cutting-edge products for soil and road stabilisation, dust and erosion control, dust suppression systems as well as site water management for civil and land development construction. Our solutions are focused on making projects more efficient, sustainable, and cost effective. We have a track record of successfully applying our solutions in both public and private infrastructure projects, providing exceptional strength and durability while remaining flexible.
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’s range of binder products – including HydroTac and AquaTarp – are designed to enhance the effectiveness of water and offer a more sustainable and cost-effective approach to dust control in construction sites.
Road Stabilisation
Dust-A-Side’s road management solutions have been successfully applied in both public and private infrastructure projects, providing exceptional strength and durability while remaining flexible. Our 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. The repeated application of the product and penetration properties of the formulation will lead to progressive build up of a bitumen sealed surface that binds surface material together and prevents water ingress.
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.

Dust-A-Side packages
Full Service
In addition to having a full time project supervisor on site, Dust-A-Side can also supply clients with required assets and personnel such as trucks, water carts, graders, suppression equipment and operators. Telemetry, consulting, project management and reporting are available with a Full Service package.
Managed Service
A full time project supervisor from Dust-A-Side will attend site to oversee the delivery and implementation of all dust control solutions, utilising the clients existing assets (e.g. water carts). The project supervisor will provide further support through telemetry, consulting, project management and reporting in order to help clients achieve the most efficient and cost effective outcomes possible
Remote Supervision
One of our project supervisors can visit your site at agreed upon times in order to provide telemetry, consulting and reporting. We’ll evaluate the effectiveness of the solutions and products we’ve provided and make recommendations to improve efficiency.
Supply Only
Binder products can be supplied in bulk or via intermediate bulk containers. Dust-A-Side will advise clients on how much of the product to apply and how often. Clients then apply the products using their own equipment.
Rental
Dust control equipment such as fog cannons can be rented as required and clients can manage the operation of the equipment.
