Stones, sandpits and limestone quarries in the Czech Republic

Mining in the Selebice I quarry started in October 2012. The sand quarry is located about 1 km north from the village of Selibice. However, the access road leads from the north, via a turn from road No. 250 between Staňkovice and the R7 expressway. The material contains a large share of large grain-size fractions, which is why it is first crushed, then washed and sorted. The quarry therefore only produces washed sand (fractions of 0-4, 8-16, 4-8, 16-22 mm). The mining area is one of the largest areas allowed after 1989. It covers an area of over 100 hectares. The layer thickness is 2-5 m and the capping thickness does not exceed 1 m. Mining is carried out in the northern direction.
