ROAD DUST CONTROL THE KEY TO LONG LASTING GRAVEL ROADS AND CLEANER AIR Did you know that uncontrolled dust from gravel roads can reduce air quality and increase road maintenance costs by up to 50% ? www.envirotacinc.com
INTRODUCTION Gravel roads are very crucial in most rural and industrial areas, yet they come with a great problem of dust. Such roads may cause air pollution unless controlled; they may lead to unsafe driving conditions and the costs that have been incurred to repair them regularly. It is, therefore, paramount that effective road dust control techniques be instituted in matters of road quality, public health protection, and cleaner air. We'll discuss in this guide how good dust control extends not only the lifespan of gravel roads but also produces an environment healthier.
WHY DUST CONTROL IS CRUCIAL FOR GRAVEL ROADS Gravel roads are prone to dust, particularly in dry climates or high traffic areas. This dust, when not managed, can cause significant damage. Erosion: The finer particles forming the dust play a significant role in maintaining the road structure. Once they are lost, the entire road surface degrades and starts to become potholed and rutted. Safety Hazards: Dust particles suspended in the air reduce visibility and create hazardous road conditions, especially in windy conditions or at high speeds. Frequent Maintenance: If gravel is not under good road dust control, then sometimes roads need to be regraded and gravel replaced, which is more in maintenance.
BEST ROAD DUST CONTROL TECHNIQUES Best road dust control techniques involve using a combination of chemical suppressants, water, and proper road maintenance. Chemical agents like magnesium chloride and calcium chloride are highly effective in attracting moisture and binding dust particles, reducing dust emissions. CHEMICAL DUST SUPPRESSANTS MECHANICAL DUST CONTROL METHODS THE IMPORTANCE OF TAILORED SOLUTIONS One of the most effective methods of dust control on gravel roads is using road dust control products in chemical form chemical suppressants that bind the fine particles in gravel from becoming airborne. Regularly grading the road is essential for maintaining a smooth surface and redistributing the gravel evenly across the roadbed. This process helps eliminate ruts, potholes, and other uneven areas that can trap dust and make the road more prone to dust generation. In humid environments, chemical suppressants such as magnesium chloride are highly effective due to their ability to attract and retain moisture, helping to bind dust particles together. This makes them an ideal choice for controlling dust in regions with higher humidity levels.
