Stones, sandpits and limestone quarries in the Czech Republic

The Grygov sand quarry (Grygov – Tážaly) is located south of the road connecting Tážaly with Grygov; the quarry is accessible via a turn from this road. The mining is carried out using a dragline excavator. Sand is mined from under the water surface of two water reservoirs (north and south), from a 5.5 m thick wall. The capping constitutes another 1 m. The material is transported from the quarry in trucks to the nearby processing line, where it is washed and sorted into factions of 0-4, 4-8, 8-16 and 16-22 mm.
