Evaluation of Chemical Dust Palliatives for Helipads
The ERDC was tasked by the U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command to develop expedient dust control systems for helipads for use in constructing and maintaining Forward Area Arming and Refueling Points. The project consisted of evaluating various chemical dust palliatives and application procedures during field tests. The products of this effort include equipment recommendations, palliative recommendations, and complete application guidance. Fifteen helipads were constructed at Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma, AZ, using commercial palliatives for dust abatement. Each chemical was applied using a topical (spray-on) treatment. Each helipad was subjected to multiple landings of UH-1, CH-53, CH-46, and AH-1 rotary-wing aircraft. The chemicals were evaluated on their ability to control dust and prevent foreign object damage. Each evaluation consisted of dust particle collection and soil property measurements. Pertinent conclusions from the testing conducted are noted, and recommendations for selecting dust abatement methods and materials are provided.
