You are here

Sealing your coal stockpiles improves winter material handling, maintains BTU value as well as prevents surface dust and erosion.

Preventative maintenance is the base for good economics, resulting in large gains for an operations efficiency and profitability. Plant efficiency and operation are directly influenced by the handling of its coal. With those factors in mind, Midwest has been successfully sealing coal piles since 1975. Our service technicians examine site factors such as pile dynamics, site particulars, pile configuration, pile compaction and pile moisture. 

We offer SOIL-SEMENT® to bond coal pile surfaces and resist the effects of rain, snow and wind. Coal stockpiles sealed with SOIL-SEMENT® will shed water to minimize moisture penetration, maintaining the highest BTU value along with preventing frozen lumps to keep reclaiming running efficiently all winter long. In addition the surface remains dust free with no washing or rutting. SOIL-SEMENT® applications will also prevent air infiltration to eliminate self-heating, hot spots or pile fires. Even piles that may have rising internal temperatures can be controlled with SOIL-SEMENT®.

After 31 years of applying SOIL-SEMENT® to coal piles, our trained operators can complete the application for you in a complete turnkey installation. Call us today to seal your coal stockpile.
