Bypass roads can cause a real headache in terms of airborne dust. Yet they are necessary to ensure traffic can continue to flow during any type of construction work, whether it’s on a mine site or affects a public road.

Case Study: Reducing Dust Emissions from Unsealed Roads on a Fruit Farm
Most fruit farms in South Africa consist of a series of unsealed dirt roads or tracks to transport picked fruits. Dust generated by the movement of light duty vehicles, tractors with trailers and big trucks will inevitably settle on the vegetation leaves and fruits due to the roads being unsealed. Further compounding this issue, areas without vegetation also contribute as a source of dust particularly on windy days.
Case Study: Teberebie Village Roadway Stabilisation Project - Ghana
Background This road stabilisation project was carried out by Dust-A-Side at Teberebie village in Ghana. The village road is a thoroughfare to the AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Ltd mine. The roadway carries a medium level of traffic consisting of taxis and LVDs to and from the mine.
Client Snapshot - Wet and muddy roads are a thing of the past
The benefits of stabilising primary haul roads with DASProduct on one of the coal mines in South Africa were apparent after 110 mm of rain. This amount of rainfall left the haul roads extremely muddy.
Mine site dust control programs - building confidence and certainty with a credible provider
It is common for some of the mines in South Africa to implement an independent, do-it-yourself program for dust control to avoid perceived risks around bringing in new service providers unfamiliar with their operations, or repeating prior experiences with poor performing suppliers.
