The Challenges
• Safely arrange critical equipment in tight spaces
• Provide a safe uninterrupted
supply of materials with large projects
• Reduce airborne silica, noise
exposures, and diesel particulate matter

The positioning of Sandstorm units is determined prior to mobilization Sandstorm units are spotted and raised Proppant is transported in high volumes and dumped into drive-over hopper Each Sandstorm is filled via telescoping belt Proppant is gravity-fed onto single belt Belt delivers proppant to blender

Comparison: • Footprint is roughly half of conventional sand storage equipment • Each Sandstorm holds up to 1.5x the volume
Assembly:
• Interlocking frames increase stability Operation:
• Reduced need for conveyor belts • Virtually zero proppant spillage • Reduction in manpower requirements • Reduction in fuel usage

• Noise reduction by elimination of pneumatics and diesel engines • Road & MVI exposure reduction • Decrease in diesel emissions - Elimination of fuel-burning belts • Significant reduction in respirable silica - 3rd party IH studies all below 0.05 μg/m3 • Gravity box “weight cells” can potentially eliminate the use of radioactive gauges
