Waste Transfer Station has Dust Problem Solved

Australian cities are home to a construction industry that has consistently boomed over the past years.  But of course, this comes with some downsides too. One of which is an exponential increase in construction wastes. While more wastes means increased profit margins for skip bin business and waste transfer operators, gyprock and plaster businesses have another problem to contend with – dust.

Left unattended, construction materials release dust that can put the health of workers and nearby residents at risk. Even more, visibility will also go down south, and equipment will wear faster. Surely not all rosy for skip bin operators who constantly have to contend with dust suppression.  Operating in the fast-paced business clime of Sydney, an outfit required a reliable dust suppression system that could hit the ground running in the shortest time possible considering their 6-days a week rigid work schedule.

Here’s where Tecpro Australia came in. With a dedicated engineering team expertly trained and thoroughly experienced in designing and supplying dust suppression systems, Tecpro Australia were invaluable in designing and installing a bespoke turnkey dust suppression system that met the needs of the skip bin hire firm. As the site needed to have the system operational fast, Tecpro fleshed out all requirements and completed the installation on Sunday, allowing business to kickstart without disruption on Monday.

Tecpro Australia recommends that waste transfer stations and recycling outfits carrying out operations in an enclosed environment install a ceiling mounted misting system. This system, using high water pressure, produces very fine droplets which pull down dust particles. However, the mist is also ultra-fine, so pooling and wetting are not a concern. Water usage was particularly low, with less than 2 litres/ minute required to get this application in full swing. The misting system was seamlessly retrofitted into the site. 

With a vibrant history spanning more than 3 decades, Tecpro Australia takes pride in providing unrivalled dust suppression solutions to businesses across a wide range of industries.

Home water testing

The water that comes out of your tap can contain a number of contaminants even when using a filter. Some may be deliberate additions that aren’t always ideal and others may be harmful. Examples include chlorine, lead, mercury, fluoride, nitrite and more. One of the biggest problems with water contaminants is that you take them in slowly. You may not even realize your health is impacted until you have a real problem. The best way to get ahead of this is to have your water tested before you develop an illness that could be connected to drinking water. There are other signs to watch for such as the water color, odor, taste or residue. Contaminants are sometimes additives that are present at levels too high for you. In more dangerous cases, contaminants can come from plumbing materials, water service lines or the water source. Water companies do test water at a system-wide level. They watch for areas of particular concern such as lead or other heavy metals. They also keep watch on ce...

Things to watch out for - From a qualified Asbestos inspector

The number one mistake that is typically made by a building owner is to assume that there is no asbestos because a building is newer than 1980. It is true that asbestos was used a great deal in the 1950’s and later and that use decreased over time. There were several court proceedings held in the 1960’s and 1970’s that examined the risks of hazardous materials in buildings, so asbestos was rarely used in large amounts in homes built after 1980. It is not true that no asbestos was used or that it was even illegal in all cases. Asbestos may be present in some imported building products The second mistake often made is to assume that asbestos was eventually completely banned and that it would not be present in something made in the present-day. Asbestos is not mined in the United States today, but it is still available for import and it is used in some products. Asbestos inspections may not be done if a renovation is a “little job” This issue is quite common and serious...
