Answer:It is a good question! Sand is needed. We have to stop the illegal sand mining urgently in the Caribbean islands. This matter has been discussed recently. Many movements are taking place in order to make sure the source of sand will be reliable. The problem of Guyana is that the location of the quarries are in the interior and only accessible by river. The company GUYANA SAND is the only in conditions to provide reliable deliver, however it is very difficult to be in touch with them. I understand the demand for sand is superior to their capacity of export. Another source of sand has to be urgently discussed, before the islands are affected.
Answer:The solution in discussion is the change of sand source to Guyana, where heavy investment is being done by the government of the country in conjunction with the private sector by the creation of GUYANA SAND. It is being shown in the main newspaper around the Caribbean.
What we have to know is for how long the Guyanese sand will support the large demand for this aggregate.
Answer:Good question! I saw on TV that Barbuda is really close to stop the mining extraction. Puerto Rico is importing sand for Golf from United States. Everything shows that the next source of sand will be Guyana. They have a good quality sand over there, but it was inaccessible few years ago.
Answer:All will depend of where you are and for what you need the sand for. Some Islands such as Antigua and US Virgin Islands, are using crushers to make artificial sand by crushing Stones. In case you are looking for white sand for beaches, golf, glass or other uses than construction, the governmental company GUYANA SAND INC. is the only well known supplier of white sand in the region. It is very difficult to contact them, the best option is by e-mail: info@guyanasand.com
Answer:There is a recent Joint Venture named GUYANA SAND INC which is the main supplier of Caribbean presently. Search in google and you will easily find it. I hope my answer was useful.
