Solar Energy Generation - Dust Control Phoenix Arizona

T-PRO® provided effective environmentally friendly dust suppression and topical dust control on gravel access roads handling over 70,000 heavy truck movements. This soil stabilization dust palliative maintained full bearing capacity while delivering carbon-neutral performance that traditional palliatives could not match.

Key Benefits

• Superior environmentally friendly dust suppression with minimal re-application
• Reliable topical dust control even under extreme traffic
• Acts as road base stabilizers and aggregate stabilizers
• Carbon-neutral soil stabilization with no leaching or flora impact

Case Study: Effective Fugitive Dust Control for Solar Energy Plant Access Road

Project Overview Lithic Industries supplied T-PRO® Polymer Seal Coat for dust suppression on a newly constructed gravel access road serving a major photovoltaic solar energy plant. This high-traffic unpaved road was engineered to perform reliably under extreme conditions while meeting strict environmental and performance requirements.

Project Objectives The property developer required a robust solution to control fugitive dust generated by over 70,000 heavy truck movements during the 18-month construction phase. The road needed to maintain full bearing capacity during winter months and provide reliable dust control through hot, dry summer conditions, all while supporting an all-weather surface.

The Challenge Heavy construction traffic on imported Class II base material in high-heat and arid environments rapidly generates significant airborne dust. Uncontrolled particulate emissions can create safety hazards, environmental compliance issues, and increased maintenance demands.

T-PRO® was applied as a topical polymer seal coat to bind the surface, lock down fines, and create a durable, dust-resistant wearing course. Its proven formulation delivers long-term stabilization without compromising the road’s structural integrity or drainage characteristics.

Proven Results

• Excellent fugitive dust control under intense heavy-truck traffic
• Maintains road surface integrity and bearing capacity in varying seasonal conditions
• Supports the project’s environmental goals by minimizing particulate emissions
• Provides a cost-effective, easy-to-maintain solution tailored to the 18-month construction timeline

Application Details

• Equipment Used: Grader, Water Truck with Spray Bar, Smooth Drum Roller
• Initial Application Rate: 70 ft² per gallon (topical)
• Maintenance: Remove loose material from surface and re-apply T-PRO® quarterly at 200 ft² per gallon
