A BRITISH company, WeIlam International, have won a contract to supply industrial sand and gravel to Saudi Arabia.
The specialised sand and and gravel—not available in the Middle East—forms part of the essential raw materials required in building a large scale water treatment plant in Saudi Arabia.
Wellams are using DAF 2800 DKS tractor units linked to Scammell 40ft trailers. Each trailer is loaded with ten pallets of sand and gravel in addition to cylinders and pvc pipes which are also being supplied by Britain.
The overland trail via the Eastern Bloc is favoured by Wellams, who operate a 29-day return journey cycle.
