Ronan Le Fur from Soilworks and Craig Reid from Knelson Sand & Gravel Limited attended Council at 9:45 a.m. to discuss Durasoil and how to monitor the amounts being put down. Mr. Reid advised that there is a meter on the truck and the product can be metered but he was under the impression that the dust control would be 100 meters and when they arrived they were considerably longer and that is why the first truck only did 4 dust controls. The application rate is 1.4 litres per square meter and the years after initial application will be approximately 30% of first application. Tandem truck holds 14,000 litres and will do 1000 meters of road depending on the width of the road. Cost is $2.10 per litre. It was consensus of Council that the product is very good and we will be monitoring it per division to see how it holds up over the winter. Mr. Le Fur advised that the sandier the soil the better the product works. Mr. Reid advised that they never calculated any truck costs because they are trying to get the product out and in the future the product will be available for purchase and the M.D. will be able to apply it with their own forces. Mr. Le Fur introduced another product called Soiltac which is being used for solid, erosion and dust control. He also advised this product is also sold in volume. It was noted that this product doesn’t work well with a clay base unless sand and aggregate is brought in to stabilize the road. Putting chip seal on it would help it to last longer, probably as long as the chip seal lasts. It was the consensus of Council to have Mr. Reid advise the Director of Transportation the cost of the product. |
