MINES HAUL ROAD DUST SUPPRESSION SYSTEM

The Haul Road Dust Control Spray System is an automated, periodic watering system designed for mining operations to prevent dust lift-off when haul trucks pass through the area. This solution eliminates the high costs associated with water tankers and reduces the need for manual labor and equipment.

Haul and access roads are critical components of mining operations and are used by mobile equipment to transport materials to and from mining areas. However, the road network in a surface mine site is extensive and can generate a significant amount of dust, which can cause harm to both equipment operators and workers in the vicinity. The main source of dust is caused by the forces of the wheels on the road surface and the turbulence created by the vehicles. The majority of the dust particles from haul truck emissions are larger than 10 μm

in diameter.

To effectively control and suppress haul road dust, a comprehensive strategy should be developed during the road construction phase and implemented throughout mining and transportation operations. Synergy Spray Systems can assist mine operators with the installation, commissioning, and maintenance of haul road dust control and suppression systems. This can involve a combination of technologies, such as truck sprinklers, permanent tube systems with rotating sprinklers, and automated spray systems.
