Rosehill Racecourse Watering System Solved

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -1000

Rosehill Racecourse turns to Water Carts Direct for a solution to their watering issue. Sydney's premier horse racing venue has chosen Water Carts Direct to supply a water truck to keep their top class track in premium condition.

Features of the Water Carts Direct water truck is the ability to control the volume of water by adjusting flow and pressure in the hydraulic pumping system so that they achieve the correct spread and water saturation for optimum track conditions. They have

High pressure, individually controlled water sprayers mounted under the front of the water truck to flush internal thoroughfares.
Press button automatic transmission to maintain consistent speeds and reduced driver error
Heavy duty 36M large diameter hose and reel pressurized by a separate power supply so that the truck engine does not need to idle for excessive periods of time. This eliminates the risk of glazing the engine cylinder bores - a common problem with trucks that idle for long periods of time.

But the biggest attraction is the simplicity of the mechanical operation of the overall water truck without sacrificing reliability or performance. No electrical relays are used on our water trucks with all functions operated hydraulically or by air. This excellent design allows the original purchase price to be much lower than comparable models, easy to maintain and inexpensive to repair if damaged.

If you are looking at purchasing a water truck please contact us for a chat about what you require and a no obligation quote for a custom built water truck. We might even have a water truck, new or used, in stock that meets your specifications. Remember, don't buy retail, buy DIRECT!

Water Truck History

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -1000

The Water Truck goes way back to the mining sites but has improved immensely over the years

Water trucks are commonly used in mining applications & construction sites such as road works, primarily for dust control solutions. A Water truck usually consist of a series of spray nozzles equipped with an engine to pump and spray water to control dust on dry or windy days, to hydrate mines when they become dry and to remove overburden on mining sites. A water truck is different from a typical truck in that it must be able to contain a large volume of water. This requires special tank specifications, frame and mountings to hold the tank and include spray nozzles and associated equipment.

However before dust control legislation around roadwork construction sites and before the development of modernized mechanics, watering systems were devised in other ways in and around mining sites. A hydraulic monitor equipped with large nozzles would spray heavy quantities of water in a constant stream against rocky hillsides in order to remove the overburden covering the sought-after minerals in an open-pit mine. This was the extent of using water in and around mining sites.

The monitor was made up of a single nozzle at the end of the line. Water was syphined from the mountain rivers and any nearby resource and dumped into the hydraulic monitor. It would then travel in restricted amounts through small pipes and would be relayed in a steady stream. The hydraulic monitor was hugely successful as the outflow of water blasted onto the side of the open pit mine exposed small amounts of gold after turning a hillside into a slew of mud. When the dirt from the overburden was removed, a series of sluice boxes were used to collect the gold. A very labour intensive exercise after the water blasting not too mention the mub pool created by the water off the hillside. A problem that arose with the hydraulic monitor was the viscous mud it produced as a result of the water stream. The soil and water mixture often polluted waterways and roadways. There was no way of containing this mud in those days

The use of hydraulic monitoring eventually became illegal in 1884 in California but continued in other states until the 1940s.

Today the water truck has come a long way. This is due to a number of developments such as improved truck mechanics, better tyres & traction, simpler & cleaner engines and technologically improved materials for water cartage tanks. Water Carts Direct have choosen polyethylene tanks to mount on their water trucks and have even taken the hard work out of driving them by offering automatic transmissions in their water trucks, both for hire and sale.

So for the latest in water truck sale & hire contact Water Carts Direct for all your Water Truck & dust control solution needs.

Dust Control Solution - Water Trucks on Site

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -1000

Dust control solutions on construction sites are not just needed but are by law required...

Dust control measures are practices that help reduce surface and air movement of dust from disturbed soil surfaces. Dust Control using moisture is the safest and most economical method but there are a range of solutions such as vegetative cover, mulch, irrigation and spray-on adhesives. They are used to reduce surface and air movement of dust during land disturbing, demolition and construction activities.

Construction sites are good candidates for dust control measures because land disturbance from clearing and excavation generates a large amount of soil disturbance and open space for wind to pick up dust particles. These airborne particles pose a dual threat to the environment and human health;

Dust can be carried off-site, thereby increasing soil loss from the construction area and increasing the likelihood of sedimentation and water pollution.
Blowing dust particles can contribute to respiratory health problems and create an inhospitable working environment.

Earthmoving activities are the major source of dust from construction sites, but traffic and general disturbances can also be major contributors.

Dust control solutions are applicable to any construction site where dust is created and there is the potential for air and water pollution from dust travelling across the landscape or through the air. Dust control solutions should be implemented on all construction sites where there will be major soil disturbances or heavy construction activity, such as clearing, excavation, demolition, or excessive vehicle traffic.

Water Carts Direct provides an economical dust control solution by utilising quality, easy to use, water trucks to spray water around early stage construction sites. A range of water trucks are available for hire or sale for small to large construction site dust control problems. Water Trucks can provide dust control in the early construction stages and stay on the job to provide irrigation for newly seeded areas for re-vegetation or landscaping during the project completion.

Contact Water Carts Direct to discuss your dust control problems and let us provide the best water truck deal for your situation.

The NSW EPA have put together an interesting booklet titled "No Dust No Fuss" - guidelines for controlling dust from construction sites.
