Construction sites are notorious for being dust prone zones due to various activities. Construction dust emission if not suppressed and controlled then leads to many obstacles.

Project delays and financial loss can be the severe consequences as a result of uncontrolled dust on site. But there are many techniques used to keep dust in check and make the site clean, safe.

Water spraying technique is one of the popular methods used for dust control. A fine mist of water is sprayed over construction sites and haul roads to weigh down the dust particles. This results in settling down the particles and minimising their potential of becoming airborne.

But efficiency of water spraying techniques falls short as frequent application is required, especially in dry conditions. It is also not an environmentally friendly technique that causes increased water wastage.

Enter the use of Haul-Loc in construction sites. A product by GRT that is considered to be the best dust suppression system solution. Let’s explore all things essential about it.

 

What is GRT Haul-Loc?

 

It is a specially formulated liquid polymer that is mixed with water to be sprayed on areas that require dust control. Haul-Loc is a product that has been developed specifically for mining conditions and resource sectors.

The product is applied using existing site water trucks, tankers or sprinklers. With the use of Haul-Loc, dust suppression effects can be prolonged 4 to 5 times more than just the use of water.

 

Benefits of Haul-Loc in Construction

 

Using Haul-Loc in water spraying technique can bring in a variety of benefits. Some of the obvious ones are —

 

Reduced Water Consumption

 

Water spraying is an easy-to-use technique that has been used extensively for keeping construction sites safe and clean from dust. But water being a limited resource, needs to be utilised mindfully.

Spraying technique requiring water tends to evaporate or freeze especially in dry areas. Therefore, there is a need for frequent water spraying and increased water wastage. Haul-loc expertly mixes with water that increases the dust suppression impact.

It reduces water usage by 65% making it a sustainable choice for dust control.

 

Increased Effective Treatment Area

 

Reducing airborne dust in construction areas can be not entirely effective with water spraying alone. As covering a larger area requires more water and more rounds of truck trips.

But Haul-Loc with its liquid polymer formulation has the ability to bind with fine dust particles effectively. This prevents the particles from becoming airborne. Haul-Loc enables each water truck or tanker to treat a larger area compared to just using water.

With each truck covering more ground, construction companies can optimise their fleet size. The result is reduced fuel and labour cost that boosts overall operating output.

 

Boost in Work Safety & Operational Continuity

 

Construction dust emission gives rise to formation of dust clouds that limits the visibility on site. Poor vision of workers due to this condition can lead to hazardous situations in areas.

Chance of accidents increases and operations may be disrupted or worse can be indefinitely halted. Haul-Loc is one of the innovative products for site safety that reduces dust levels significantly.

Site managers can resume visibility that allow workers to operate safely and identify any potential dangers.

 

Conclusion

 

Safety and cleanliness in construction sites can be maintained efficiently with the use of Haul-Loc. With its specialised formulation, this product excels in delivering a range of benefits.
