How we delivered ...
This year the Rose Bowl reconstructed their sand base,
irrigation and drainage system in preparation for both the Rose
Bowl and the BCS Championship game.
We provided them with 3,000 tons of USGA Spec sand. To some
people sand is sand, but on a golf course or sports field sand
can be as different as night and day. While it may be tempting
to save money by using less expensive alternatives other then
USGA spec sand, the physical properties of the sand determine
the success or failure of a sports field or golf course putting
green.
Superintendents evaluate characteristics of any sand before
using it. Properly selected sand will help ensure healthy grass
that is able to withstand high heat, humidity, and heavy
traffic. Our sand also helps to drain water and retain moisture
in the sand base
You may think delivering 3,000 Tons of sand to the Rose Bowl
may be a challenge, and it was. We are fortunate to have a well
trained staff that has a lot of experience and their expertise
was challenged once again. Delivering to an older facility was
the biggest challenge. The tunnel access clearances are low and
tight and extreme caution was necessary. The second challenge
was to avoid damaging the drainage system and irrigation that
was in place , ready to be covered with sand. We had to tackle
these challenges and at the same time work safely and
efficiently. This job involved our entire team. We had an onsite
customer service agent who safely coordinated the trucks on and
off the field while staying in direct contact with our dispatch
office to keep a steady flow of trucks on the jobsite.
This job is an excellent example of how West Coast Sand &
Gravel uses teamwork to create a great experience for our
customers. We consider our company a full service company and
one stop shop. We can properly handle your project from start to
finish.
