Dust can cause problems. In fact, dust can cause big problems and it doesn’t matter if you’re storing materials like wood chips or sulfur, mining, running ports, working in solar fields, stockpiles, or cooling towers, dust in your work area impacts working conditions like visibility, how machinery operates, the health and safety of employees, neighbouring homes and businesses, and the surrounding environment. Utilizing a dust fence is a simple and highly effective way to protect everyone and everything required for your business to continue operating optimally, without impediments.
Wind fences work two ways. Firstly, they work by slowing down the wind and creating a “sheltered zone” behind the fence. This “sheltered zone” is created by letting a little wind through the fence but keeping the majority out. You have to let a little bit through so that you do not create a vortex situation. This is the “upwind” position of the fence. Secondly, they work as a filter to block any stubborn or localized dust from migrating away from your sheltered area. As the wind in most places blows from many directions, the same fence sometimes works in upwind mode, and sometimes in downwind mode.
Dust can be the result of human activity or weather-related movement which can blow particles several miles across the landscape. This can not only cause potential damage but can increase time and money spent maintaining valuable tools and equipment, too.
