Dust control on internal roads

The project

How to eliminate dust from the unpaved roads of a residential complex in Sardinia

Just a short walk from one of Sardinia‘s most stunning beaches, a residential complex surrounded by nature offers the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday. However, its internal unpaved roads had gradually become the source of an increasingly significant problem: the continuous generation of dust caused by vehicle traffic.
During the summer season, as traffic volumes increased, dust settled on homes, vehicles, vegetation and outdoor furniture, affecting guests’ comfort and diminishing the quality of the shared outdoor areas. In addition to the inconvenience, reduced visibility also made driving within the complex less safe.

Assessing the challenge

After being contacted by the property manager, Green Ways carried out a technical site inspection to assess the condition of the road surface and identify the most suitable solution for the site.
The assessment revealed that the first priority was to prepare the existing surface by removing irregularities and improving surface water drainage. These preliminary operations are essential to ensure the effectiveness and long-term performance of any dust control treatment.

The SOIL SEMENT® solution

Once the surface had been properly prepared, SOIL SEMENT® was applied. This water-based dust control treatment is specifically designed to stabilise the surface layer of unpaved roads and significantly reduce dust generated by vehicle traffic. The product was carefully diluted with water and applied using the appropriate techniques to ensure uniform penetration and effective surface stabilisation.

The result

A noticeable improvement was evident within hours of the application. The treatment successfully eliminated airborne dust, leaving the internal roads cleaner, more stable and far more pleasant to use.
The benefits extend well beyond appearance. Reducing airborne dust improves air quality, minimises the need to clean buildings and vehicles, and creates a more comfortable environment for both residents and visitors. In a tourist destination such as Villasimius, where the quality of outdoor spaces plays a key role in the overall guest experience, effective dust control makes a tangible contribution to enhancing the value of the entire residential complex.

A long-term improvement for outdoor spaces

Unpaved roads and internal access routes within residential developments, resorts, campsites and hospitality facilities are particularly susceptible to dust generation, especially during the warmer months and under frequent vehicle traffic.
Through a thorough technical assessment and the use of specialised solutions such as SOIL SEMENT®, Green Ways delivers effective dust control treatments that improve surface stability and long-term usability. Every project is carefully tailored to the site’s specific ground conditions and the client’s operational requirements, ensuring durable results and reliable long-term performance.
