Stones, sandpits and limestone quarries in the Czech Republic

The newly founded sand quarry is accessible from the road leading through Mankovice towards Suchdol nad Odrou. The quarry is accessed via a 400 m long southeastern turn behind the railroad crossing south of Suchdol nad Odrou. The material is mined from a 5 m thick wall located under the surface of underground water. Before mining the water is pumped off and the sand is mined by an undermine excavator. The material is gradually processed by sorting, crushing of the oversized particles using a cone crusher, washing and sorting to washed sand production fractions of 0-4, 4-8, 8-16 and 11-22 mm.
