reduction in dust

Control airborne dust. Protect your team, equipment, and environment.

Airborne dust is a serious hazard that can lead to silicosis and lung cancer. Uncontrolled dust puts people and productivity at risk. It damages equipment, increases downtime, and can lead to regulatory fines or shutdowns if not managed properly.

At Guarda Systems, we build intelligent dust suppression systems to control airborne particles at the source. Our solutions aren’t just designed to comply with environmental regulations; they’re designed to reduce risk, protect your people, and make your site safer, cleaner, and more efficient.

When it comes to all forms of concrete and masonry cutting and drilling, we’ll help you suppress dust before it becomes a problem.

Wall Chasing

Chasing channels in brick and concrete for the installation of electrical or plumbing services. Specialised cutting services for roof flashings, tie down rods and other requirements. Silica dust, slurry and exhaust fumes suppressed and controlled, unlike other methods. Indoor and enclosed spaces cutting are managed safely due to the effectiveness of our silica dust, slurry and fume control systems.

Built for high dust. Tailored to your site.

Dust control is not one-size-fits-all. Respirable particles behave differently depending on the material being cut, the site specifics, weather conditions and other factors. That’s why our systems are engineered for all situations by removing the dust at the source, before it becomes airborne.

We work closely with operations managers and HSE teams to build dust suppression systems that fit your working environment..

Our solutions utilise water and vacuum to ensure the best dust suppression on the planet, along with automatic removal of slurry and exhaust fumes.

Dust exposure is a safety risk, not just a compliance issue

Respirable dust, especially silica particles under 10 microns, can lodge deep in the lungs. Long-term exposure leads to chronic conditions like silicosis, COPD, and lung cancer.

Sites are under pressure to reduce exposure levels and regulators are tightening standards. But staying compliant isn’t enough. If you wait until you’re failing an inspection to manage dust, it’s already too late.

We help you get ahead of the risk. Our dust suppression systems are built to:

  • Reduce airborne dust at the source, before it becomes airborne 
  • Keep your team safe from long-term respiratory exposure
  • Support regulatory compliance
  • Limit risk of fines, shutdowns, or legal claims

Whether you’re cutting concrete outdoors or brick indoors, we’ll help you remove silica dust from the air and reduce risk from your operations.

The process: from needs assessment to back up support

We’ve simplified the process, no overengineering, no false starts. Just practical dust control that works.

  1. Site review and dust source audit
    We assess the site conditions including materials being cut, indoors vs outdoors and type of cutting required
  2. System design
    Your cutting, drilling and associated dust suppression solution is designed to suit your specific work requirements 
  3. Ongoing support

What Our Clients Say

Every plumber should have one. You can’t beat the petrol saw for power and by far the best thing is being able to use the saw inside with no fumes. I’ve been sick many times due to the effects of carbon monoxide but no longer. The amazing added benefits are the cleanliness of cutting with the reduced slurry. The exhaust vacuum is great too for all types of cleanup including drain cleaning.

Luke Webb

Owner, Webbs Plumbing and Electrical

The Guarda Edge Saw was the answer I required in order to cut cleanly through 130mm brickwork and plaster in a fully operating aged care facility to extend the dining area. The requirements were no dust, slurry, water and fumes. My regular contractors using conventional equipment said “we can’t help”. Envirochasing Services, using the Guarda Edge Powercutter, could and did.

Jayson Collings

Site Supervisor, Devlyn Constructions

I engaged contractors recently who used the Guarda Edge Power Cutter to cut some openings through a brick wall. Never have we experienced such an efficient cutting machine. It was safe, it was clean, it was fast. It saved us so much time and our customer was so pleased. In our view, this is certainly, industry best practice.

Lyndon Reitsema

Owner, Kings Road Construction

We are a building renovation carpentry team doing a lot of work in the home renovation space. We are early adopters of Guarda dust, fume, and slurry control technology. When it comes to masonry cutting, we think Guarda is the only safe option for crystalline silica control. Because Guarda has developed best practice, our health and safety regulatory obligations are covered, and our people are kept safe. Guarda equipment also saves us a lot of time due to reduced site preparation and clean-up.
