Saving the Dirt You Want: Screen and Ship out the Unwanted Stuff
By Buff on Jul 22, 2008 in Technology
A local landscaping company was hired to fix up the soil around the town shopping center. The town was looking to fix up areas designated for planting trees. Those sections, around the parking lot and property perimeter, had never been fully taken care of. When the town tried to plant trees, they wouldn’t survive. Some of the soil samples though, were known to support certain types of trees, so the logical choice was to use a portable screening plant. Now, the best soil could be isolated and filled in as the top layer, so the trees that were desired could grow. This is nothing a gravel screener couldn’t handle, so the company got to work and sifted out the larger rocks from the soil.
With the proper soil already on site isolated, the larger-grained material and rocks were shipped away, either offsite or for use in a different landscaping setting on the premises. The use of these machines from EZ Screen had allowed cost savings not only from the efficiency of the machines, but from the use of materials that were already at the site, which didn’t have to be found and/or purchased elsewhere.
