Mandatory dust suppression measures to be implemented at construction  sites in Armenia 

ArmInfo. The Urban Development Committee of Armenia has announced that dust suppression measures are now mandatory at all construction sites across the country.

The Committee noted that as of January 2026, construction companies  were granted a transition period to procure the necessary equipment  and prepare their sites for compliance. This regulation has now been  in effect for one month. The Committee urges all developers to  strictly adhere to these new standards, emphasizing the importance of  responsible construction practices and environmental protection. Key  compliance requirements are the following: 

Emission Control Systems: Throughout the duration of construction,  sites must utilize air purification and dust suppression  technologies, including dust collectors, dust extractors, water mist  generators, and low- emission equipment.

Air Quality Monitoring: All construction sites are now required to be  equipped with air quality monitoring devices.

Site Infrastructure: Temporary roads must be paved with concrete or  other solid surfaces. Any remaining unpaved areas must be covered  with a layer of gravel to effectively prevent dust generation.

Operational Standards: Developers are mandated to maintain proper  site equipment, perform regular cleaning, install dust barriers and  protective netting, and ensure strict compliance with guidelines  regarding the transportation and storage of construction materials.
