Yes, the heritage restoration blasting process can generate dust, which is a common attribute of most abrasive cleaning methods. However, Cheshire Heritage Blasting employs several dust mitigation techniques to control and minimize the impact of dust on the environment and surrounding areas. Our strategies for dust control include:

1. Dust Extraction Systems: We use state-of-the-art dust extraction and filtration systems that capture airborne particles during the blasting process, ensuring that they are not released into the environment.
2. Enclosures and Sheetings: For indoor or sensitive projects, we set up temporary enclosures and protective sheeting to contain dust within a confined area.
3. Wet Blasting Methods: When appropriate, we utilize wet or damp media blasting technologies, which significantly reduce dust emissions by binding the particles to water droplets.
4. Low-Pressure Techniques: Operating at lower pressures can reduce the amount of dust produced, and our skilled technicians are trained to use the optimal pressure for each surface and material to minimize dust.
5. Regular Monitoring: Our team continually monitors the work area for dust levels, adjusting our techniques and employing additional containment measures if necessary.

We are deeply committed to preserving the integrity of heritage sites and the health and safety of the local environment. Clients can rest assured that our thorough dust control methods ensure a cleaner, safer restoration process.
