At Southern Machinery Company, we take pride in building long-term relationships and long-lasting solutions. One of our recent projects is a perfect example of both.
Years ago, we designed and built a sand yard facility in Nashville to support barge off-loading and distribution to the local market. The facility was originally constructed for an existing customer, and it played a vital role in moving concrete sand efficiently from river to road.
Since then, the site has changed ownership, and the new operators came back to us with a request: increase the loadout capacity to meet growing market demands.
We were up for the challenge.
Our team engineered and executed a major facility upgrade, which included:
- Adding an additional reclaim tunnel with five feeders to the concrete sand stockpile, boosting throughput and improving material flow.
- Installing a new truck scale and loadout bin to support faster and more efficient truck dispatch.
- Designing a flexible conveyor system capable of feeding both the existing scale and the new one—maximizing utility and minimizing disruption.
This project highlights what we do best at Southern Machinery: delivering engineered solutions that are built to adapt, expand, and evolve with our customers’ needs.
Whether we’re designing from the ground up or upgrading an existing system, we’re committed to quality, efficiency, and customer success.
