Frequently Asked Questions
How do you control dust on a mine haul road?
With a programme tailored to the site. On 28 km of mine haul road, a Midwest customer maintains over 95% dust control.
Can water use be reduced?
Yes. On those 28 km of haul road the customer saves over one million litres of water a year. DustPro additive cuts watering by about 75%.
Can mine access roads be stabilized?
Yes. Polymer stabilization gives load-bearing capacity as soon as it cures, all-season water resistance and resistance to erosion, potholes and rutting.
Which mine areas do you treat?
Haul roads, access roads, underground roads, material transfer points and tailings.
Who applies the products?
Your choice: a managed service where Midwest handles everything (delivery, application, inspections, reporting), or guided application by your crews with training and technical support.
