Nkomati Nickel Mine Implements Long-Term Dust Control
Nkomati Nickel Mine in Machadodorp, South Africa, engaged Soil Solutions to provide a high-performance dust abatement solution for its heavily trafficked haul road. Due to the frequent use of tracked vehicles, a traditional stabilized surface was not a viable option. Instead, Durasolution was selected as the ideal dust control solution.
Why Durasolution?
✔ Immediate & Continuous Dust Suppression – Durasolution begins working upon contact, effectively eliminating dust even in high-traffic conditions.
✔ No Need for Watering or Grading – Unlike conventional dust control methods, Durasolution remains active, reducing operational maintenance and costs.
✔ Resilient to Tracked Vehicles – Unlike stabilized surfaces, Durasolution withstands re-working of the soil without compromising its effectiveness.
✔ Minimal Maintenance Required – The initial application provides long-term performance, requiring only minimal upkeep.
Application & Implementation
🚜 Technical Assistance – Soil & Dust Solutions, the South African agent for Soil Solutions, provided on-site expertise for both road preparation and Durasolution application.
🌫 Targeted Dust Prevention – Durasolution was strategically applied to ensure optimal coverage and maximum dust suppression across the haul road.
Results & Long-Term Benefits
✅ Eliminates Dust Hazards – Improves air quality and visibility for safer operations.
✅ Durable & Reworkable – Remains effective even when soil is disturbed or reworked.
✅ Cost-Effective & Sustainable – Reduces the need for frequent maintenance, lowering operational expenses.
By implementing Durasolution, Nkomati Nickel Mine has achieved a reliable, long-term dust control solution that enhances safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
