Managing haul road dust while reducing water usage.
Left untreated, dust from unsealed haul roads can have a considerable impact on visibility, communication and respiratory health of the mine site workers and surrounding community members. Managing dust by continual watering only leads to road degradation, increased slip potential and further dust generation.
GRT: Haul-Loc by TeraFil is a specially formulated liquid polymer added to watering trucks used to improve the efficiency of watering for dust suppression by as much as 500%. This leads to more efficient use of water trucks on site, effective dust control, and the avoidance of risks associated with overwatering.
