Industrial High Dusting
Industrial high dusting is overhead cleaning where the dust is a hazard rather than an eyesore. On rafters, beams, ductwork and cable trays in a plant handling wood, flour, metal or polymer fines, accumulation is fuel.

In an industrial facility the material your process generates ends up on the structure above it. Wood fines, flour, sugar, metal particulate, polymer powder and rubber crumb all migrate upward on air currents and settle on rafters, beams, duct runs, conduit and cable trays where nothing disturbs them.
That accumulation is the fuel for a secondary dust explosion. A small initial event anywhere in the building creates a pressure wave, the layers come off the overhead steel all at once, and the resulting cloud produces an event far larger than the first. Removing overhead accumulation is the most practical control you have over that risk.
Method matters as much as frequency. Compressed air and brushing down create exactly the airborne cloud the hazard requires. We use HEPA-filtered vacuum extraction so the dust is captured and leaves the building with us, and we select heads and techniques for the specific material, because some metal fines react with water and some polymers hold a static charge.
Every job is documented with before-and-after camera footage, which is what an inspector, insurer or auditor will ask to see.
Manufacturing and fabrication plants, food and beverage production, bakeries and flour handling, sawmills and woodworking, metal finishing and machining, plastics and rubber processing, warehouses and distribution centres.
Reduces combustible dust fuel load on overhead surfaces, supports fire inspections, insurance requirements and food safety audits, and provides documented evidence of what was cleaned and when.
HEPA-filtered industrial vacuum systems, carbon fibre telescopic poles with heads matched to the material, camera inspection, and boom or scissor lift access up to 75 feet.
Method and equipment are selected for the specific material, including materials that react with water or carry a static charge. Work follows a site-specific hazard assessment, crews are Working at Heights trained, and powered access is operated by licensed personnel. We are a cleaning contractor, not a compliance authority; formal hazard determinations should come from a qualified fire protection professional.
From the floor to 75 feet, we'll assess your facility and recommend the right approach.
