Construction Site Dust Control

Maintaining Clean and Safe Construction Sites with Effective Dust Control

Construction sites have the potential to generate air and water pollution through the dispersion of dust across the landscape or through the air. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends minimizing the areas impacted by dust when they are not actively being worked on. However, it is common for complete site clearing and grubbing to occur simultaneously due to scheduled activities, especially on large-scale projects. At Laine Chemicals, we understand the importance of controlling dust on construction sites and offer effective solutions to mitigate environmental impacts. By utilizing the right dust control products, you can significantly reduce the release of airborne particles and enjoy immediate benefits.

The Benefits of Dust Control on Construction Sites

Implementing dust control measures on construction sites offers numerous advantages, including:

  1. Improved Air Quality: By proactively managing dust, you can significantly reduce the amount of particulate matter released into the air. This helps create a healthier work environment for construction workers and nearby communities, minimizing the risk of respiratory issues and improving overall air quality.
  2. Environmental Protection: Dust control measures contribute to environmental conservation by preventing the dispersion of dust particles into nearby ecosystems, water bodies, and sensitive habitats. Minimizing dust migration can help preserve the natural surroundings and mitigate potential ecological impacts.
  3. Compliance with Regulations: Many regions have strict regulations regarding dust emissions from construction sites. Implementing effective dust control measures ensures compliance with environmental standards and avoids potential fines or penalties.

Application Questions

Our various products offer different characteristics. Our liquid calcium chloride is hygroscopic, which it attracts moisture from its environment keeping the road surface damp and dust particles down. Whereas our lignin sulfonates act as a “glue” binding dust particles together, keeping them in place on the ground.

You’ll want to contact us early in the year. We review each application individually, and we also have to make sure the weather is optimal to maximize the effectiveness of your product application. The sooner you reach out to us the better!

Most completed product treatments won’t wash away in the rain. A light rain can actually rejuvenate your application. Once your liquid treatment has had a chance to dry or absorb into the road base, it will be effective throughout the season depending on external factors. For most gravel roads, two applications are efficient for effective dust control throughout the season.
