An Advanced Technology for Stabilizing Dust Producing Surfaces of Built-Up Technogenic Massifs During Their Operation

Resumo

The goal of this research was to develop an advanced technology for stabilizing exposed shore fronts and sides of embankments of built-up technogenic massifs using a binding reagent (mainly a bitumen emulsion) through the development of a hovercraft-based fast-response mobile dust-suppression complex that exhibits good terrain-crossing capability over water-saturated soil with low load-bearing capability. The article presents a description and specific design features for a fast-response mobile dust-suppression complex, and describes its principle of operation.
