Environmental management of dust

Dust on construction projects is continuously monitored and water trucks damp down the project site as needed to prevent dust from blowing onto residents and motorists.

The areas where dust may be an issue, these areas are compacted and revegetated as soon as possible to minimise the presence of dust in the air.

Example dust measures
