Dust Pollution Control Measures for Roadbed Construction

Effective dust pollution control is 

crucial in roadbed construction. 

Here are specific measures to 

mitigate dust:

1.Soil Handling in Borrow Yards: 

    During soil material loading, sprinkle water on piles or 

soil surfaces to reduce dust generation.

    Arrange the construction site efficiently.

    Stack and store all excavation and filling materials 

uniformly, minimizing the number of storage yards and 

using shed cloth for coverage.

    Select storage locations wisely, minimize handling, 

and implement dust prevention measures during handling.

2.Transportation and Road Maintenance:

    Use smooth and hardened roads for transportation 

vehicles whenever possible.

    Utilize materials such as coke slag, graded sand and 

gravel, construction waste, asphalt concrete, or cement 

concrete for construction access roads.

    Regularly clean and spray water on nearby 

transportation roads to maintain humidity and 

prevent dust.

3.Transport Vehicle Regulations:

    Avoid overloading transport vehicles; do not exceed 

the height of the carriage plate.

    Use covering and airtight measures to prevent 

material scattering.

    Promptly clean scattered soil materials from the road.

    Regularly wash the carriages and tires of transport 

vehicles.

    Set up fences or barriers at borrow pits and construction 

sites near residential areas to minimize dust spread and its 

adverse effects.

4.Weather-Related Adjustments:

    Suspend soil transportation and roadbed filling 

operations during high wind speeds or unfavorable 

weather conditions.

    Increase the frequency and amount of water spraying 

on various roads during these times.

    Arrange the construction schedule reasonably to 

speed up the process and reduce construction time.

    Consider adopting a step-by-step construction 

method to minimize dust.

5.Greening and Landscaping:

    Enhance the greening penetration rate around the 

construction site.

    Increase greenery on both sides of the road using 

appropriate landscaping methods.

    Strive to eliminate bare ground on both sides of 

public roads.

Implementing these measures will significantly 

reduce dust pollution, ensuring a safer and cleaner 

construction environment.
