Benedict Sands Menangle has recently commenced extracting its newly approved alluvial resource, ensuring a reliable supply of quality assured landscaping products for years to come.
The availability of the additional resource enables Menangle to diversify its product range and once again become Sydney’s first option for Sportsfield Construction, Topdressing, Golf and Bowling green, Turf Underlay and Garden Mix products.
Benedict’s Group Sales & Distribution Manager, David Connor is excited to announce that the full landscaping product range is once again available in the marketplace. “It’s been a long time coming, we are once again able to offer our full range of landscape product options for any given project in the Sydney basin and beyond. With unlimited volumes of alluvial blends to meet any Sportsfield, Golf Course or Bowling Green product requirement, we’re ready to go when you are. Specifically, Benedict Sand Menangle has recently re-introduced their SmartMix1 – Turf Rootzone Mix, Golf 9010 and Bowling blend products. These additions, alongside Menangle’s existing diverse product range will ensure Benedict can offer their customers a complete range of products for any project that they may be involved in.
Reliability, Quality and Compliance Assurance
Regarding quality assurance and approvals of products, David goes onto say “Now more than ever we are seeing an increased demand for test results and environmental compliance before a product can be approved for a project. Benedict has systems in place to ensure we make this process as easy as possible for our customers, so they can focus on importing approved products into their projects, ensuring they reduce delays, meet their projected deadlines and maximise their profit”.
Benedict carries out internal and external testing on all their landscaping products, ensuring they are not only fit for the intended purpose but also comply with the highest industry standards. This significant investment in product quality assurance testing ensures that customers, engineers and architects can request recent product documentation to verify that Benedict products meet the requirements for their projects. Utilising several external laboratories, including SESL and Civil Test, Benedict offer quick turn around times for project specific testing, to assure approval of our products before importation.
Benedict Sands Menangle also uses several recycled inputs to ensure we extend the lifespan of the valuable alluvial resource. Any product that has a recycled component is stringently tested to assure compliance with the relevant EPA Recovery Order, before being approved for sale.
All materials whether quarried, recycled or a blend of the two come with a “Environmental Statement of Compliance” assuring our customers that Benedict products are a safe choice. In addition to the Menangle Quarry, Benedict also operate quarries in Sandy Point, Appin, Mittagong and Cowra. These quarries have various geological resources including alluvial sandy loams, sandstone, clay, shale and quartz based sand and aggregates.
Additionally, the supply and delivery arm of the business “Benedict Sand & Gravel” purchase materials from its internal quarries whilst also being one of the largest exbinners of third party suppliers in the Sydney Basin.
David Connor says “Benedict is unique in the industry, as we not only own and operate our own quarries, we also buy from almost every other quarry and recycling site in Sydney. This sets us apart from other suppliers, and has two major benefits for our customers. The first, being that as we own and operate our own facilities, we have direct control over the product development, quality and availability of our products, giving our customers confidence that we can deliver what we say, without any middleman. The second being that no matter where our customers projects are, Benedict Sand and Gravel can find a suitable product close to the project assuring a competitive price and service offering.
Benedict is a proud family owned company, who are renowned for excellent customer service, and doing what they say they will do. The recent approval of Benedict’s Menangle resource is significant for the landscaping industry, and Benedict look forward to maintaining and improving their reputation as Sydney’s most trusted supplier!
