Dust suppression

Keeping mining projects sustainable with Global Soil Systems

In Australia’s vast and rugged mining landscapes, the challenges of managing dust are ever-present. As mines expand and environmental regulations tighten, the demand for effective, sustainable and scalable dust suppression solutions has never been greater.

Global Soil Systems (GSS), a proud member of the B&K Group, is at the forefront of this critical environmental service. With a proven track record, advanced capabilities and a commitment to sustainable practices, GSS is setting a new benchmark in dust suppression across Australia.

A legacy of results

GSS operates as a key division of the B&K Group, leveraging the collective expertise, resources and infrastructure of the organisation which has been in operation for more than 40 years. With over 140 highly skilled staff and a fleet of 250 advanced machines —

maintained in-house to ensure optimal performance — GSS has the capacity to tackle even the most complex dust suppression challenges, anywhere in Australia.

Whether it’s a long-term dust control program or a rapid-response solution for unforeseen challenges, GSS has earned a reputation for delivering results in mining projects of all scales. In November 2024, GSS completed over 400ha of dust suppression across multiple sites, illustrating the ability to scale operations rapidly and meet client deadlines, even in high-demand periods.

Innovative applications for diverse needs

Flexibility, innovation and the ability to handle large-scale projects sets GSS apart in the industry. For instance, GSS can cover up to 250 hectares in under two weeks using state-of-the-art helicopter applications. The company’s expertise in coordinating resources and rapidly deploying large-scale solutions is ideal for expansive mine sites requiring immediate and efficient dust management.

For projects requiring a more tailored approach, GSS has developed custom-built track machines designed to operate on the delicate and often treacherous surfaces of tailings dams. These machines are designed to navigate uneven terrain safely, ensuring dust suppression products are evenly distributed without causing structural damage. This ability to handle challenging terrain allows GSS to service clients that demand both precision and safety in dust suppression.

Sustainable and made in Australia

In an industry where sustainability is increasingly important, GSS is committed to leading by example. Their strong and established partnership with Vital Chemical, a leading supplier of dust suppression products, means that all materials used are sustainably sourced, 100% Australian-made and meet the highest quality standards.

Their wide range of environmentally friendly products are tailored to suit any site condition and project duration. By sourcing products from Vital Chemical, GSS guarantees that its solutions meet the rigorous environmental and performance standards required for Australian mining conditions.

This sustainable approach extends to GSS’s application methods, which are designed to minimise waste and environmental impact. By employing precise application techniques, GSS ensures that dust suppression products are used efficiently, with minimal runoff and optimal coverage.

A part of the bigger picture

As a member of the B&K Group of Companies, GSS leverages the support of a robust organisation with decades of experience in environmental management, revegetation and landscaping. The B&K Group’s combined capabilities mean clients can benefit from a holistic approach to environmental management. Dust suppression is just one piece of the puzzle; GSS can integrate its services with broader land rehabilitation and revegetation efforts, providing a seamless solution for mining clients looking to leave a positive legacy.

Partnering for a sustainable future

Dust control is more than just an operational concern. Left unmanaged, dust can have far-reaching environmental and workplace safety consequences. Effective dust suppression is not just about meeting compliance standards, however; it’s about demonstrating a commitment to responsible and sustainable mining practices.

GSS’s approach to dust suppression is not just about solving today’s challenges; it’s about preparing for the future. By prioritising sustainability, leveraging Australian-made products and investing in innovative technologies, GSS is helping to create a more responsible and sustainable mining industry.

For mining companies, partnering with GSS means aligning with a company that shares their commitment to environmental responsibility and operational excellence.

Global Soil Systems is more than a service provider — it is a trusted partner in dust suppression and environmental management. With its national reach, innovative solutions and commitment to sustainability, GSS is helping mining projects across Australia operate more efficiently, responsibly and sustainably.
