Dust pollution is one of the most common environmental violations on UAE construction sites. Abu Dhabi requires all active sites to implement a Dust Management Plan, and water tankers are the primary tool for compliance.
What the Regulations Require
- Spray watering – Unpaved roads and open areas must be sprayed at least twice daily.
- Speed limits – Vehicles on unpaved site roads must operate below 20 km/h.
- Covered transport – Loose material must be covered during transit on public roads.
How Water Tankers Help
A 10,000-litre water tanker can cover approximately 10,000 square metres of unpaved surface per load. Regular spraying keeps the surface damp and prevents dust from becoming airborne.
