What is the biggest item of equipment of plant DOE would normally use ?
A. A large 3600 excavator is normally used to ‘cut out’ new courts – ideally a 12-13 tonne machine. A smaller 5-6 tonne machine can be used if access is limited which increases the costs slightly. Smaller plant – twin drum rollers, powered wheel barrows – are usually the largest plant used for resurfacing projects. On large multiple tennis court or MUGA projects plant requirements will suit each site and its access.
