Wadsworth Golf Construction Company, a national construction company specializing in golf course construction, successfully used two Hydrema 912D multi-tip articulated dump trucks to handle their on-site construction needs at the Twin Orchard Country Club project. 

Construction Project Details

Twin Orchard Country Club required that the construction take place during the winter season and that the project be completed by Spring 2009, prior to the start of the golf season.  

Wadsworth's responsibilities for this project included: updating the look of the course by changing four green designs, enlarging six lakes and six dry containment basins, building three new ponds and updating storm water management without disrupting the irrigation and drainage systems already in place.

Construction Equipment Used

Wadsworth needed the right lightweight equipment for the job and remembered the Hydrema 912D multi-tip dump truck they saw at the Golf Show in Orlando, FL. "We knew the project would require lightweight pieces of equipment that could maneuver through a wet, muddy jobsite. I called Hydrema directly and they delivered two pieces of equipment right to my jobsite," states Mark Dormire, General Superintendent of Wadsworth Golf Construction.  "The two multi-tip dumps became an essential part of our construction equipment fleet on this project to ensure it was completed on time without causing damage to the grounds."

Wadsworth moved more than 73,000 cubic yards of material during the construction project, 20,000 cubic yards of which was peat. The material was used for mounding and building fairways and greens.  "We hauled a tremendous amount of material throughout this job. We are very impressed with the 912's power, speed and flotation," continues Dormire.
