BRISTOL – Zoning issues surrounding a Tupelo Street business that have been floating around for several years could finally be resolved at the next Bristol Town Council meeting. ELJ Inc. of 703 Metacom Ave. has approached the town and is looking for a zoning change for its property at 95 Tupelo St. where it runs a stone-crushing operation.

Ed Tanner, Bristol zoning official, said a zoning change from general business to manufacturing at the site will make ELJ in compliance with town regulations.

Mr. Tanner said, as of now, the business is a non-conforming use. ELJ has argued in the past that the business is grandfathered because they used the property for similar uses before zoning at the property.

“They’ve done a lot of things to their operations to try to comply with our requests and the neighbors’ complaints about noise and dust,” Mr. Tanner said.

Whether you’re a professional or a do it yourself home remodeler, dust is a problem that occurs on most jobs. Professional remodelers know that clean up takes time, but not cleaning the area after you’re finished ruins relationships and loses clients. Do-it-yourselfers can see the face of their spouse when they mention another project. Clean up is more than just cleaning the area; it means removing dust that flies all over the house. 

There are steps to reduce the amount of dust and therefore the time it takes to clean up the area. One of these is plastic, tape, staples and 2 by 4′s. Normally putting up this type of barrier is not a one-man job, if you do it alone it takes time, lots and lots of wasted time. The professional knows how important dust free construction is to the homeowner, so they take the time for two or more men to install the barrier. Most home do-it-yourselfers don’t bother, so normally projects create weeks of clean up as the dust settles throughout the house.

Now, there’s a product, which installs easily at the jobsite and blocks the dust from leaving the area. Zipwall dust control  systems include telescoping poles, plastic gripping heads with pads to protect the sealing, skid free discs for under the poles, locks to seal the side and best of all, zippers. That’s right, zippers. Getting in and out of a work area that’s taped up normally means you have to overlap some of the plastic and form a loose seal at the doors, which allows the dust to escape to other parts of the house. The Zipwall system allows you to keep the seal tight, even suck the dust out as you work by putting the hose of an operating vacuum under the plastic and not have one bit of dust go to another area of the house. The professional looking enclosed area and the dust free job site is enough to get the highest praise from even your meticulous client.

Hinowa has introduced a crawler mounted dust suppression system through the marriage of its Goldlift 14.70 tracked carrier to a WPL410 rotating water spray system. The Goldlift 14.70 is able to elevate the nozzle to a maximum height of 12 m (39.4 ft) to maximise the throw area. The WLP410 itself has a maximum throw distance of 30 m (98.5 ft), offers 320º rotation and can cover up to 2,800 square metres (30,100 square feet). Recommended operating pressure is 10 Bar, at which pressure it uses 35 litres (7.7 gallons) of water per minute. Hinowa has also made this unit available on its TP1800 tracked forklift.
