The traditional ‘man with a hose’ has been largely usurped on UK demolition sites by ever-more sophisticated dust suppression systems. Demolition reports.
Along with noise, dust is probably the single biggest source of complaint from homes and businesses located close to demolition works. But while it is a known hazard, it is also notoriously difficult to predict and control, particularly when demolishing at height. But necessity is the mother of invention, and demolition contractors and those that provide them with equipment are incredibly resourceful. And together they have developed a whole range of dust suppression and control systems that are suitable for demolition sites large and small and applications both outside and internally. These self-contained units arrive ready to work without the need to run multiple hose pipes across the site. By emitting a fine mist of water, these systems keep sites just damp enough to prevent dust rising while at the same time giving a workable condition that isn’t saturated or waterlogged. Automatic and remote oscillation eliminate the need for extra personnel to operate the machine and the larger, more powerful units are quite capable of capturing dust on high rise structures many storeys up (although all are susceptible to wind).
