How do you keep roads dust free in a desert?One of a kind road cleaning operations in Port Hedland.

THE CHALLENGE

Running a mining operation in the Australian desert means keeping

operations clean is a real challenge.

Clean equipment is essential to maintaining an efficient operation.

But how do you keep 1000’s of kms of operations clean when you are constantly

surrounded by red dust and extreme climate conditions?

If the dust builds up, operations can come to a grinding halt – causing serious damage to

expensive equipment, and costing precious time and money to the overall operation.

THE SOLUTION

Dust is constantly managed in an environmentally sound way, using a specialised mine site road sweeper.

Each sweeper carries 6400 litres of water and is designed for high volume vacuuming and water pumping, whilst travelling at four kilometres per hour.
