Phosphate, cement, wood products, grain--Sandwell's materials handling experience covers virtually every product except nuclear waste.
Handling systems for "white" products (phosphate, potash, salt and sulfur) feature bulk silos, railcar unloading and storage, and shiploaders. For a variety of industrial bulk materials, including cement, aggregate, clinker, gypsum and limestone, we have designed handling and storage yards, overland conveyors and barge loading facilities.
Our pulp and paper assignments include storage/reclaim, processing and conveying systems for woodchips, hog fuel and ash disposal.
Much of the grain exported from the Canadian west coast is handled by Sandwell-designed terminal and shiploading equipment.
