Different industries create different environmental challenges.
A quarry may need to control dust from crushing, haul roads and stockpiles. A demolition project may require mobile fog cannons and boundary monitoring. A wind farm construction site may need road dust suppression across long access routes, while a recycling facility may need to manage both dust and odour.
ODS provides environmental control, dust suppression and monitoring solutions for industries throughout Scotland.
Based in Stewarton, Ayrshire, we work with contractors, operators and industrial sites to identify systems suited to the individual application rather than relying on a single approach for every environment.
Our solutions include:
Explore our solutions by industry below.
Wind farm construction can involve extensive groundworks, temporary access roads, turbine routes and repeated movements from heavy plant and delivery vehicles.
During dry weather, these activities can generate significant road and surface dust, particularly across remote sites where permanent infrastructure may be limited.
ODS provides dust suppression and monitoring solutions for wind farm developments throughout Scotland.
Applications can include:
Mobile equipment such as dust suppression bowsers can provide flexibility across long or changing routes, while sprinklers and monitoring systems can be used around more permanent or sensitive areas.

Haul roads can become one of the most persistent sources of dust on construction, quarry, industrial and infrastructure sites.
Heavy plant and HGV movements continuously disturb fine surface material, particularly during prolonged periods of dry weather.
ODS provides haul road dust suppression solutions for temporary and permanent routes across Scotland.
Suitable systems can include:
The most appropriate approach depends on factors including traffic levels, road length, surface condition, water availability and site layout.

Construction projects can generate dust throughout several stages of development.
Excavation, earthworks, demolition, cutting, crushing, stockpiles and vehicle movements can all create airborne or surface dust across the site.
Because construction sites change as work progresses, dust-control systems often need to be flexible.
ODS provides solutions including:
Mobile and temporary equipment can be repositioned as active working areas move across the project.

Quarry operations can generate dust from extraction, crushing, screening, stockpiles, conveyors, haul roads and vehicle movements.
These sources often require different forms of control.
A haul road may require surface watering, while dust around crushers or transfer points may be better controlled using fine mist or nozzle systems.
ODS provides quarry dust suppression and monitoring solutions for sites throughout Scotland.
Applications can include:
Mobile, temporary and permanent systems can be selected according to the operation.

Demolition can generate concentrated airborne dust over relatively short periods.
Breaking concrete, dismantling structures, crushing materials and moving debris can all release fine particles into the air.
Because demolition activity changes location as work progresses, mobile suppression systems can be particularly useful.
ODS provides demolition dust-control solutions including:
These systems can help control dust close to the source and reduce its movement across the wider site.

Waste and recycling sites can experience several environmental issues at the same time.
Dust may be generated by crushing, screening, shredding, vehicle movements, stockpiles and material handling.
Odour can also arise from waste reception, storage, processing and treatment.
ODS provides environmental solutions for waste and recycling facilities throughout Scotland, including:
Different systems can be used across separate parts of the site according to the source and operational requirement.

Ports and harbours can include bulk material handling, stockpiles, HGV movements, industrial processing, waste operations and construction activity.
These environments may require several forms of environmental control across large operational areas.
ODS provides solutions for ports, harbours and marine industrial sites across Scotland.
Applications can include:
Mobile and fixed systems can be combined where different activities take place across the same site.

No two sites operate in exactly the same way.
The most appropriate environmental-control system depends on factors including:
A short-term construction project may need mobile equipment that can be repositioned quickly.
A quarry may require a combination of permanent road sprinklers, fixed nozzle systems and mobile fog cannons.
A recycling site may need dust suppression around processing equipment alongside odour control and environmental monitoring.
ODS can consider the site as a whole and identify systems suited to the actual operating conditions.
Environmental-control requirements can vary considerably between industries.
Some projects require equipment for only a few weeks.
Others need permanent systems operating throughout the life of the site.
ODS can provide solutions suitable for:
Selected systems can also be available for hire where permanent ownership is not required.
Dust can behave differently depending on where and how it is generated.
Surface dust from roads requires a different approach from airborne dust around a crusher.
ODS supplies several different dust-control technologies so that the system can be selected around the source.
Available options include:

Monitoring can provide greater visibility of changing conditions around construction, quarry, recycling and industrial sites.
Depending on the equipment selected, monitoring can provide continuous particulate measurements and alerts when predetermined thresholds are reached.
Monitoring can be used around:
It can also be used alongside active suppression systems to help site teams understand when additional control may be required.

Some industries need to manage odour as well as dust.
Waste, recycling, wastewater and industrial processing sites can generate nuisance odours from reception, storage, handling and treatment activities.
ODS provides systems including:
Systems can be designed around fixed or changing sources depending on the site.

Construction, quarry, recycling and industrial sites may also require controlled washing areas for vehicles, plant and equipment.
Wash bays can provide a designated area where washwater, mud and sediment can be contained and managed.
Temporary, modular and permanent systems are available depending on the project and operational requirement.

Many industrial and infrastructure projects in Scotland operate in rural or remote locations.
These environments can present additional challenges, including:
Mobile and self-contained environmental-control systems can provide greater flexibility where permanent infrastructure is limited.
ODS can consider water, power, access and site layout when identifying suitable equipment.
ODS supports projects and operational sites throughout Scotland, including:
We support sites across Ayrshire, Central Scotland, the east and north-east, the Highlands, southern Scotland and more remote locations.
The appropriate solution depends on the individual operation rather than simply the location.
ODS is based in Stewarton, Ayrshire and supports businesses and projects throughout Scotland.
Dust suppression, odour control, monitoring and wash bay systems can be considered together where a site experiences several environmental challenges.
Road dust, airborne dust, odour and washwater are different problems and require different approaches.
ODS can provide multiple technologies rather than trying to apply one system to every application.
Solutions are available for short-term projects, changing operational areas and permanent installations.
Site layout, operating conditions, environmental source, water availability and infrastructure are all considered when identifying a suitable system.
If dust, odour, environmental monitoring or site wash-down is creating a challenge within your operation, ODS can help identify suitable solutions.
Tell us what industry you operate in, where the issue is occurring and how the site works.
We can discuss the available equipment and identify a system or combination of systems suited to the application.
