Several factors must be considered when designing a DustTamer Wind Fence System. These factors fall into three main categories:

1. Ambient air/dust control effectiveness.
2. Existing site conditions including equipment traffic patterns, other structures (including underground) and grade of terrain.
3. Engineering factors that include wind load, seismic conditions, soil type and selection of column supports.

D.S.I. can assist in the evaluation of these factors.  If engineering of the strucure is required, typically this is conducted locally. We have provided a Data Collection Guide that can be used in conjunction with our RFQ Form.

DustTamer Wind Fence/Screen Systems, can be a highly effective measure to help control fugitive dust. It is a cost effective alternative to buildings and other solid structures.
