Screen Arrival

We need 4000 cubic meters of sand from our quarry (fairway 12) screened. This sand will be mixed with imported sand, peat and some of our sandy topsoil to create the growing medium for the greens and tees; it’s commonly known as Rootzone Mix.

So, in comes a 16 meter long (50 feet) by 1.9 meter (7 feet) power screen. The process should take a handful of days to get that quantity of sand screened to a size of 2mm and less. Our 200meter by 70meter quarry (a couple football fields) will drop another 30 centimeters (1foot).
