Leave the Water Truck Parked Sequencing Dust Control Products on an Active Jobsite.pdf

Construction and mining sites often battle the same challenge: dust clouds that not only reduce visibility but also threaten safety, efficiency, and compliance. For decades, the “solution” was to keep water trucks running on repeat. But water is costly, short-lived, and unsustainable. With the right dust control products—especially acrylic polymers—crews can cut watering cycles dramatically, stabilise surfaces, and keep projects moving without interruption.

2. INTRODUCTION
Dust is more than just a nuisance—it impacts
worker safety, air quality, and jobsite efficiency.
Traditionally, water trucks have been the quick
fix, but they waste resources, require constant
upkeep, and provide only temporary relief. By
sequencing dust control products correctly,
contractors can save money, improve
compliance, and keep operations moving
without relying on water trucks.

3. THE PROBLEM WITH WATER TRUCKS High fuel and labor costs for
continuous operation Temporary effectiveness—dust
returns as soon as water dries Wasted water resources in
drought-prone areas Safety risks with slippery or uneven
surfaces

4. Long-lasting effectiveness compared to water WHY DUST CONTROL PRODUCTS? Reduces labor, equipment wear, and fuel
consumption Environmentally responsible and regulatory-
friendly Keeps dust locked down through traffic and
weather

“Proper sequencing ensures dust control products deliver lasting performance. From site prep and initial
application to curing and touch-ups, each step builds stronger, safer, and more efficient dust suppression.”

Reduced downtime from
constant watering cycles
Safer, cleaner work
environment for crews
Lower overall project costs

7. CONCLUSION Leaving the water truck parked doesn’t just
save time and money—it transforms the way
active jobsites manage dust. By sequencing
dust control products properly, contractors
achieve longer-lasting results, greater
efficiency, and a healthier work
environment. This approach ensures
productivity without compromising safety or
sustainability.
