Extraction
From the riverbed to the stockpile
- Dredger
A cutter suction dredger lifts sand from the bed of the Vistula and pumps it ashore through a floating pipeline.
- Dewatering
The slurry passes a dewatering screen, the water returns to the river and the sand stays clean and washed.
- Stockpiles
The sand drains on the storage yard. An excavator builds stockpiles ready for collection.
- Loading
A wheel loader with a scale loads trucks on site. Loading is included in the price.
Logistics
Road, port, river
- By road
The pit sits by the DK22 road bridge between Malbork and Tczew, minutes from the A1 motorway and the S7 expressway.
- Port of Gdańsk
55 km to the Coal Quay. Sea shipments to Scandinavia and the Baltic states.
- By river
Barge loading is possible. Navigation depends on water levels: low water in summer and ice breaks in winter.
- Poland and export
We serve domestic and foreign buyers, from a single truck to contracts of hundreds of thousands of tonnes.
