ESG & Safety in Wet Frac Sand Operations
SandPile Services is committed to safe, responsible, and efficient wet frac sand operations. Our ESG and safety approach is built around real-world execution—protecting crews, reducing environmental impact, and supporting safer wellsite operations.
A Safer, More Responsible Approach to Frac Sand
The frac sand industry continues to evolve toward safer and more sustainable practices. Wet frac sand plays a key role in this shift by reducing silica dust, lowering emissions, and improving efficiency across the supply chain.
SandPile supports this evolution through proven wet frac sand operations designed to improve safety and performance at the wellsite.
Safety First—Every Operation
Safety is built into how we operate. SandPile prioritizes controlled sand handling, experienced field crews, and workflows designed to reduce risk and support consistent execution.
Our safety focus includes:
Reduced exposure to airborne silica
Minimized foot traffic in red zones
Fewer interactions with heavy equipment
Lower slip, trip, and fall risks
Reducing Silica Exposure Through Wet Frac Sand
Wet frac sand significantly reduces airborne silica by keeping sand particles moist throughout handling and transport. This approach helps maintain exposure levels well below OSHA limits while supporting a safer work environment for crews at the wellsite.
Lower Environmental Impact Through Smarter Operations
Wet frac sand eliminates energy-intensive drying processes and streamlines logistics, resulting in lower emissions and reduced environmental impact.
Operational benefits include:
Reduced carbon emissions
Fewer trucks and staging pads
Lower idle time and fuel usage
Reduced land disturbance at the wellsite
Reducing Truck Traffic and Wellsite Risk
By eliminating staging pads and improving unloading efficiency, wet frac sand operations reduce congestion at mines, highways, and wellsites—helping lower accident risk and minimize disruption to surrounding communities.
Innovation That Improves Safety and Performance
Innovation is core to SandPile’s ESG approach. Our team continuously evaluates and refines wet frac sand handling methods to improve safety, efficiency, and environmental performance—without compromising operational reliability.
