WHEX Clay Screening & Processing

This project, located at 10,000 ft elevation, involved the excavation, hauling, and screen processing of 1/2 million cubic yards of topsoil and  clay overburden into appropriate stockpiles. Topsoil was stripped and hauled as excavation progressed, and the clay material was processed to meet specific gradation requirements. JHL was responsible for maintaining safe working conditions around the stockpile areas and removing any reject material to a designated location.
