For Customer 10 of our 50 Customers in 50 Weeks series, we are highlighting how a long-term partnership with a major steel manufacturing facility proves that the best dust control solutions actively adapt to rapid business growth.

The Challenge
Maintaining environmental compliance is critical to keeping heavy industrial operations running safely and efficiently. A large steel facility faced significant challenges managing fugitive dust across its evolving site, particularly as shipping traffic and scrap yard activity began to surge. The initial dust control product, an asphalt emulsion called PetroTac, required curing time. This became a major operational bottleneck as the volume of heavy equipment in their shipping yard multiplied, leaving absolutely no window of site downtime for application and curing.

The Solution
To keep operations moving without interruption, Midwest collaborated closely with the site team to adapt to their changing traffic demands. We transitioned the highest traffic zones to a customized program utilizing EK2200, a synthetic fluid that requires zero cure time, while deploying EDCHH in other yard areas. To provide true peace of mind, Midwest also implemented a fully managed, turnkey service where our experienced Account Operations Manager proactively monitors, drives, and treats the yard areas as needed.

The Result
Our proactive, adaptive approach has delivered outstanding, long-term outcomes:
• Continuous Site Operations: The transition to EK2200 completely eliminated curing downtime, allowing heavy shipping traffic to continue running at 100 percent capacity while immediately locking down dust.
• Drastic Time Savings: By having Midwest fully manage and monitor the program three times a week, the site's Environmental Manager estimates it saves him 40 percent of his workweek, allowing him to focus on other critical responsibilities.
• Flawless Compliance: The proactive service program consistently maintains fugitive dust levels well below mandated compliance limits.

Effective dust control requires more than just dropping off a product. It requires open communication, active site management, and a dedicated team you can count on to adapt as your business grows.

Success starts with partnership, and together with the customer, we have built a dust control program that continues to deliver results.

For Customer 11 of our 50 Customers in 50 Weeks series, we are highlighting how a premier steel and metals manufacturer in Texas partnered with Midwest to optimize labor, eliminate high weekend overtime costs, and target over $450,000 in operational savings.

The Challenge
Managing dust at a high-volume manufacturing facility requires significant resources. This client was utilizing a traditional mix of watering, sweeping, and asphalt emulsion applications. While this method did control dust, it created severe operational headaches.

First, the asphalt emulsion was tracking heavily onto the facilitys paved areas, creating a messy work environment and driving up sweeping costs.

Second, applying the emulsion required constant weekend labor, resulting in high overtime costs. Between watering trucks, sweeping crews, and constant road maintenance, the site was spending an unsustainable amount of time and labor on temporary fixes. They needed a strategic upgrade to reduce these costs while maintaining strict regulatory compliance.

The Solution
To resolve these issues, the manufacturer transitioned to our Midwest Managed Service™ program. We designed a comprehensive program to fully eliminate the need for asphalt emulsion and dramatically reduce water and sweeping requirements.

Originally, the program utilized our advanced EnviroKleen® chemistry, which we later transitioned to Earth Armour® as part of an internal program alignment. By having our dedicated team manage the application and monitoring on a structured schedule, we took the operational burden entirely off the clients internal staff.

The Result
By shifting from self-applied temporary measures to our fully managed service, the facility achieved outstanding financial and operational results:
• Targeted $457,200 in Total Savings: Eliminating asphalt emulsion and drastically reducing watering and sweeping requirements projected nearly half a million dollars in direct and indirect cost reductions.
• Eliminated Paved Road Tracking: Shifting to our clean, non-tracking chemistries kept paved areas pristine and significantly lowered sweeping costs.
• Reduced Weekend Labor Costs: Shifting dust management to our weekday service team completely freed up the client’s internal labor and eliminated costly weekend overtime.
• Enhanced Site Stewardship: The facility improved air quality and working conditions for its employees, supporting its high corporate image and proactive community stewardship.

Operational efficiency is about solving environmental challenges while optimizing your bottom line. By partnering with Midwest, this industry leader has proven that smart dust management is a highly profitable investment.

For Customer 12 of our 50 Customers in 50 Weeks series, we are highlighting how a close partnership with a copper mining leader keeps light vehicle roads safe, clean, and compliant.

The Challenge
Maintaining environmental compliance is critical to keeping mining operations running safely and efficiently. When a large copper mine in the southwest needed a reliable dust control solution for its light vehicle access roads, Midwest partnered closely with the site team to understand their unique operating conditions, environmental requirements, and performance expectations.

The Solution
Following a thorough evaluation, Midwest implemented a customized dust control program utilizing Midwest’s Road Pro NT, applied by our experienced field specialists. Since its introduction in 2022, the solution has consistently delivered effective, cost-efficient dust suppression while helping the operation meet its environmental objectives.

The Result
The success of the initial program led to its expansion across additional high-priority roads, including some of the site's most challenging traffic areas. This growth reflects the value of a collaborative approach that combines customer insight with Midwest's technical expertise.

At Midwest, we recognize that every mining operation faces unique challenges. By designing tailored dust control programs that deliver reliable performance and long-term value, we help customers improve operational efficiency, support regulatory compliance, and effectively manage costs.

Success starts with partnership, and together with the customer, we have built a dust control program that continues to deliver results.

For Customer 14 of our 50 Customers in 50 Weeks series, we are highlighting how strategic vendor consolidation created a unified, high-performance hybrid dust control program for a rural steel facility.

The Challenge
Operating a high-traffic steel facility in a deeply rural area brings unique environmental responsibilities. Surrounded by farm fields and local wildlife, this client needed to ensure heavy steel mill machinery and tractor-trailer traffic did not generate fugitive dust that could impact the local ecosystem.

Previously, the facility divided its dust control between two different vendors. Midwest handled their unpaved roadways, while a separate company treated their coil yards. Managing multiple vendors was complex, and as the facility expanded by building a large new truck loading ramp, they needed a more streamlined, comprehensive approach. Additionally, with a large new data center being constructed next door, maintaining clean air quality and being a good neighbor became more critical than ever.

The Solution
When Midwest acquired their other vendor, we merged the two approaches into a unified Delivered and Applied Hybrid Program. Rather than forcing a single product across the whole site, we maintained the best chemistries for each specific zone under one fully managed service umbrella.

Today, our team expertly applies Road Pro® once a month to their unpaved roadways and their new loading ramp. Meanwhile, we apply EDC (Earth Dust Control) twice a month in their active coil and scrap yards to ensure continuous, heavy-duty suppression.

The Result
This unified hybrid approach delivered strong operational and environmental benefits:
• Streamlined Management: Consolidating under one expert partner eliminated vendor fatigue and created a single point of accountability for all site conditions.
• Eco-Friendly Protection: Using safe, advanced chemistries ensures the facility protects the surrounding farmland, wildlife, and natural resources.
• Future-Proof Compliance: With clean, dust-free operations across all zones and new ramps, the facility is perfectly positioned to be an excellent neighbor to the incoming data center.

Environmental management means having the flexibility to adapt to a site's unique footprint. By unifying the best products under one managed service, we help our clients protect their operations and their local ecosystems.
