Many mines store the mined product, waste product or even subsidiary product in stock piles. Wind can be hazardous to these stock piles. Products such as coal dust and sulphur dust can be the reason for huge clean-up costs, environmental shut downs and neighbour complaints.
Litter fences are a crucial component of any landfill. As such, landfills have 3 main types of protection.
Ideally, all three of these solutions work together to mitigate the impact that wind has on landfills.
In most land development cases, the construction site is located right next to existing homes and subdivisions. When large equipment is digging or hauling soil and gravel, a lot of dust is created and dispersed with the wind. This can cause huge issues for surrounding property owners. Installing a wind fence along the development area drastically reduces these issues.
New road construction shares similar issues with land development. Our wind fences can be installed on a temporary basis for such jobs, and can even be leased on a year to year basis for those longer and larger projects. Neighbouring homeowner and landowner satisfaction can be crucial to a job and a wind fence may be the best solution
Our wind fences are hugely popular among farm and acreage owners. The fact that our fences are see-through makes them ideal for enjoying beautiful scenery and views without the wind and without visual obstruction. Unlike traditional wood fences, our farm wind fences can be built to allocate for uneven ground or rolling landscapes while maintaining a standard consistent height.
Wind damage to property can be a major issue for exposed property owners in high wind locations. Having a wind fence can minimize potential wind damage to your home and outbuildings by reducing the risk of shingles and siding being blown off.
A properly configured wind fence can also assist in vegetation growth by facilitating a less stressful growing environment for plants. For instance, shelter belts of trees and shrubs reach mature height in half the time when planted in coordination with a wind fence.
Larger farms and agricultural lots benefit from wind fences by installing them around grain handing facilities. The reduction in wind cuts down spoilage dramatically when loading and unloading trucks.
Facilities with truck scales find that having a wind fence helps to eliminate trucks from rocking on the scale giving a quicker (and more accurate) weight reading.
Animal shelters and hay storages can also be outfitted with wind screens to help stop direct wind while still enabling proper airflow for health or drying purposes.
If you own a farm, ranch or acreage the uses for our wind fences is limitless regardless of the location, direction or type of land use.
