Newcastle Sand: Getting it right from the start

Starting up a sand quarry is no small task, so it’s essential to get the right equipment for the job from the start. Independently-run Newcastle Sand began operations in 2019, extracting and processing wash dune sand for use in concrete, asphalt and screened landscaping sand.
Servicing the Hunter Valley and the Central Coast of NSW, the new kid on the block realised that it couldn’t afford to gamble with machines that couldn’t perform to expectations. Newcastle Sand ultimately chose Volvo machines, and their exceptional performance has undoubtedly been the wind beneath the wings of the company’s success.
Newcastle Sand director Darren Williams said the company’s operations currently revolved solely around the Volvos: an L220H loader, an EC350DL excavator and A30G and A40G articulated haulers.
