21 Years of Projects – Week 12: Eskom Power Station Dustfall Monitoring

The Gondwana Group is celebrating 21 years of projects this year! To mark this milestone, we’re showcasing 21 selected projects out of more than 1,000 completed since 2004 by Gondwana Environmental Solutions and ERO Africa.

This week, instead of focusing on a single project, we highlight a group of dustfall monitoring projects carried out for Eskom power stations since 2016.

Why Dustfall Monitoring Matters

Dustfall monitoring is a critical component of air quality management. Dust deposition from industrial facilities can affect communities, ecosystems, and compliance with national air quality standards. By systematically measuring and analysing dustfall, power stations can better understand emission patterns, identify potential problem areas, and implement targeted mitigation strategies.

Gondwana’s Accreditation Advantage

After Gondwana achieved SANAS accreditation for dustfall monitoring — covering both field and laboratory work — we were able to expand our scope of services. This accreditation not only confirmed the technical robustness of our methods but also enabled us to tender for, and secure, an increasing number of Eskom projects.

Supporting Eskom’s Air Quality Strategies

Since 2016, Gondwana has partnered with several Eskom power stations to implement comprehensive dustfall monitoring programmes. These programmes provide accurate, reliable data that inform Eskom’s broader environmental management efforts. By identifying trends and ensuring regulatory compliance, dustfall monitoring helps Eskom protect surrounding communities while maintaining operational accountability.

Looking Ahead

We are proud of the role Gondwana plays in advancing air quality management in South Africa. Our partnership with Eskom highlights how consistent, accredited monitoring can deliver real-world benefits for both industry and the environment.

If your organisation is considering or enhancing its dustfall management programme, we would be delighted to assist.
