Thousands of dollars are spent on haul road construction to ensure stability and reliability for haul traffic, but sadly the effort often falls short of really producing a durable finished product which delivers the best result. Continual dust problems coupled with a constant need for surface course maintenance are a major cost to miners and quarry operators, not to mention the damage caused by the increase in tyre wear as the surface of haul roads is over-watered, re-graded and re-shaped constantly by water carts and maintenance crews.
DustChek is the simple and cost-effective solution to this problem as it improves the strength and flexibility of the wear course. DustChek is a water-soluble polymer and the pure simplicity of its use is the reason for its sudden rise to fame. The process is not new but had simply been forgotten amongst the throng of technical advancements in road building and maintenance machinery. Simplicity and tried and true techniques are the key.
DustChek will deliver a tight surface with flexibility and a strong resistance to water and requires only the use of on site equipment for application. A surface course with these qualities has all the obvious advantages. The process uses in-situ material and will produce a same day result. Hauls roads treated with DustChek require watering only a few times a week and the maintenance level is reduced in proportion as is downtime due to rain events.
