Vital Bon-Matt P47-VR1

Utilising Vital Bon-Matt P47-VR1 (P47) during infrastructure development can result in considerable cost and water savings via decreased surface maintenance, lower demand for machinery and subsequently less wear and tear and equipment wash downs. P47 can significantly minimise the volume of water typically used during construction for erosion control and dust suppression on stockpiles. The use of P47 may contribute in achieving credits L1-3 in Wat-1 ISv1.2 and ISv2.0.

Providing soil stabilisation and control of challenging dust and other erodible surface emissions in areas of harsh environmental conditions, P47 cures within hours and will not remobilise. Offering immediate potential for reducing sediment discharges to receiving water and improved air quality, it may allow the opportunity to achieve L1-3 in ENV-1 and ENV-4 ISv2.0 and DIS-1 and DIS-4 in ISv1.2. The use of Vital products may contribute towards credits in the Energy & Carbon category ENE-1 and ENE-3 as P47 is rapidly applied to large areas, providing effective stabilisation with minimal carbon footprint. Compared to other traditional approaches, incorporating Vital products will be an easy transition and the cost/energy/waste savings can be easily calculated based on current product use.

P47 is an inert and non-hazardous formulation that is quick and easy to apply whilst providing effective cover factor.* P47 has undergone extensive environmental and toxicity assessments safeguarding the health and safety of workers, nearby residents, waterways and aquatic life. The use of P47 to for dust suppression and to stabilise soil erosion during construction and operations, contributes to functioning ecosystems and may be a factor in attaining L1-2 in ECO-1 ISv1.2 and associated ISv1.2 and ISv2.0 credits.

Under Governance, if no stabilisation methodology is included in the base case proposal you could provide supporting evidence for credits within the Sustainable Procurement category SPR-1 and SPR-2 in ISv2.0. Vital products are made in Australia from sustainably sourced materials and our supply chain aligns with Vital Chemical’s Modern Slavery Statement. There is also potential to claim points under the Leadership and Management category LEA-1 in ISv2.0 by exceeding “standard management practices” depending on the base case submission.
