Dust Control Environmental Expansion Plans has Dramatic Start

Advocate News
Expansion plans are well underway for Wakefield based dust extraction specialists, Dust Control Environmental. The first phase of an extension to their factory at Flanshaw has certainly started with a definite wow moment!

The removal of, an inherited, old, container, at the back of the original fabrication warehouse was required for the extension build to commence. And there was only one way that the container was going to be moved – up and over the building’s roof. Faultlessly executed by the expert team from Emsley Crane Hire of Harrogate, the removal now allows DCE to forge on with the build.

The expansion of DCE’s Wakefield based premises is part of their continual business growth plans. Having, in the previous financial year, invested in the right people, the next obvious step is to invest in new equipment and infrastructure. This will enhance production capability, quality control, and operational efficiency.

This strategic investment also supports improved reliability for customers, giving Dust Control Environmental greater control over scheduling and production standards while enabling the business to respond more quickly to demand. The reconfiguration of the premises will also free up valuable assembly space, allowing for a more streamlined workflow and increased capacity for future growth.

Dust Control Environmental Managing Director, Martin Gill, commented “It’s great to see the work beginning on the new factory extension, and in such a memorable way. Not only does this building expansion represent a significant step forward for Dust Control Environmental’s growth strategy, but it also reinforces our commitment to manufacturing in Wakefield.”

The build project is scheduled to finish Summer 2026 with regular updates on progress being posted on DCE’s website and social feeds.
