Controlling dust on your haul roads with water is an expensive and resource intensive endeavor that typically results in very limited short-term results.

Midwest balances the use of water and chemical dust suppressants for a solution that combines the right products, people, application, equipment and environmental compliance services, whether with existing water trucks, custom-designed application equipment or a fully managed service dust control solution.

Heavy traffic from cars, trucks, tankers and small mine support equipment creates significant dust events. Worse still, it’s difficult for water trucks to operate on these roads. When they do, it takes the resources away from watering your main haul roads, which reduces the effectiveness of that process — certainly a lose-lose situation.

Midwest will deploy the custom-planned products, people and application to improve the overall effectiveness of your program for continuous dust control, while balancing the costs of maintaining these roads.

You have important issues with which to deal, such as strict underground dust emissions in volumes measured by g/m2 on a continuous basis; high air flow rates that create even more dusting events and a concentration of dust on ribs, roads and roof.

Midwest helps you effectively treat road ribs and roofs without interrupting operations through the best combination of proven products, expert field people and job-specific application equipment made for optimum results.

You need to achieve cost-effective continuous dust control that’s integrated into the mine’s tailings operational process, and that meet compliance requirements. Your issues include the potential for a catastrophic dusting event that puts compliance at risk and reaches the public as news.

Midwest best meets your needs, with the optimum combination of products, people, application and equipment to address your critical issues.

Whether regulatory, company-mandated or a combination, you experience dramatic improvements in lasting dust control, consistent and reliable reduction of emissions levels to improve safety for your company.

As part of our initial Discover & Diagnosis process, we will determine and then deliver specific, measurable productivity improvements to lower your total cost/sq. ft. through factors that include: reducing water consumption and maintenance (saving on water costs, vehicle costs, personnel costs); and reducing the need for regrading and restructuring surfaces (preventing the loss of important road fines and saving materials costs, equipment costs, personnel costs); resulting in greater longevity and lifecycle savings, which support increased mining production.
