Anglo American Modikwa Platinum Mine Enhances Dust Control with EBS
Anglo American Modikwa Platinum Mine in Steelpoort, South Africa, engaged Soil & Dust Solutions to implement a long-term dust control solution for roads within and around the mine. Following a comprehensive site assessment, it was determined that proper road preparation combined with an EBS Soil Stabilizer surface seal would provide the most effective and sustainable solution.
Project Execution:
Road Preparation & Shaping – The roads were properly graded and shaped to optimize drainage and stability. Technical Guidance – Soil & Dust Solutions provided instruction on correct surface preparation to ensure a successful application. EBS Application – The EBS Surface Seal was applied, creating a durable, dust-free, and erosion-resistant wearing course.
Key Benefits & Long-Term Impact:
Complete Dust Elimination – Improved visibility and air quality with PM10 & PM2.5 compliance. Zero Watering or Grading Required – Eliminates the need for continuous road maintenance, reducing operational costs. Non-Slippery, UV & Weather-Resistant – Provides a stable, all-weather surface for year-round mining operations. No Material Buildup on Vehicles & Tires – Enhances equipment longevity and safety by preventing dust accumulation.
By adopting EBS Soil Stabilizer, Modikwa Platinum Mine has achieved a cost-effective, low-maintenance, and environmentally responsible dust control solution, ensuring greater efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
