Building A World Class Resort

My family is lucky that we inherited a beach front property.  We love living by the beach, frolicking on the white and powdery sands and breathing the nice sea breeze.

About a kilometer away, a new construction has begun for what will raise a high class resort.

My wife, daughter, our dog and I walked to the site one day.  We saw a portable screening machine busy segregating soil materials to be used for the construction.

It is amazing how they efficiently separated gravel from top soil and other fine materials using a gravel screener.

We also saw two identical orange machines and we learned from one of the guys working there that they were rock screens.  I could imagine that if the screening was done manually by people, it may have taken them a long time to finish the construction.

And guess what, the resort will be operation in less than a year. That is so fast considering the fact this is a high class resort and fine details will have to be carried out.

Well, for many, they will have to shell out a huge amount to enjoy the beach in this resort.  Lucky for us because we own a house nearby and we can enjoy the sea anytime we want without spending a dollar!

Case Study: Using a Topsoil Screener to Reclaim a Quarry

A topsoil screener can be used even in the most heavy-duty situations. For instance, in Avondale, Pennsylvania, an abandoned rock quarry stood as nothing more than an eyesore for decades. That is, until the city hired a private company to level out the land for later use as a residential and commercial building site. The company’s goal: to completely level part of the existing hill while leaving behind useable soil at a specified grade.
The project would, of course, take some time. The hired company decided that, rather than starting at the bottom of the hill, they would begin at the top. To save time, they used crushers and portable screening plants in order that the crew could remove the stripped and quarried rock which remained at the site. This method was used to remove over 400,000 cubic yards of rock and sand, which was then processed with portable screening equipment.
Recovered from the debris was mica and mica schist; both are often used as structural fill in construction projects such as sanitary landfills. These materials were marketed by the reclamation company to contractors in the area. Once again, the use of a soil screener and a screening plant employing sophisticated technology was able to make the situation win-win for all parties involved.
