Taming the Dust on Oil and Gas Construction Pads

Written by Chris Adams | 1.14.2026

Oil and gas construction sites are high-traffic, high-stress environments. Constant equipment movement, dry conditions, and regulatory oversight make dust control essential for safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. 

EnviroTech Services provides dust control solutions engineered specifically for oil and gas construction sites, access roads, and staging areas. 

 

Why Dust Control Is Critical for Oil and Gas Operations 

Protect Equipment 
Excessive dust accelerates wear on engines, air filters, and hydraulic systems, increasing downtime and maintenance costs. 

Meet PM10 Regulations 
Oil and gas sites face growing scrutiny around particulate emissions. Effective dust suppression helps reduce PM10 exposure and supports regulatory compliance. 

Improve Safety and Visibility 
Airborne dust reduces visibility and creates respiratory risks for crews working long hours in active environments. 

Reduce Maintenance Costs 
Effective dust control minimizes frequent watering, surface degradation, and rework across oil and gas sites. 

 

Dust Control Solutions Designed for Oil and Gas Operations 

RoadSaverĀ® 
A proven, chloride-based dust suppressant that attracts ambient moisture to keep surfaces tightly bound. Ideal for high-traffic oil and gas sites seeking a cost-effective solution. 

RoadSaverĀ® DC 
An enhanced dust control formulation designed to extend performance where water-only programs fall short. Well suited for sites with continuous truck and equipment traffic. 

X-HesionĀ® Pro 
A premium, ultra-low chloride dust control solution for environmentally sensitive oil and gas locations. Polymer technology locks down fine particles for long-term PM10 control. 

 

Proven Performance on Active Oil and Gas Roads 

On an active oil and gas access road, EnviroTech treated more than 9 miles of surface using coordinated pre-wetting and controlled application rates. 

During application, more than 150 heavy trucks traveled the roadway without surface damage, pitting, or material displacement. Product absorption occurred rapidly, with visible binding within 15 to 20 minutes, even under continuous traffic conditions. 

Application zones were carefully managed to prevent tracking and carryover onto paved surfaces, supporting clean operations and site compliance. 

 

Best Practices for Oil and Gas Dust Control 

Evaluate Site Conditions 
Soil type, climate, traffic volume, and water availability all influence dust control performance. 

Select the Right Product 
Temporary construction control and long-term site stabilization require different dust suppression strategies. 

Apply at Proper Rates 
Correct application ensures maximum performance and longer intervals between treatments.
