Portable Image Analysis for Gravel Granularity
FY 2021-22
Summary
McIntosh Sand and Gravel (MSG) is a Saskatoon based company that performs gravel crushing and processing for industry and municipalities throughout Saskatchewan. MSG's mission is to disrupt the aggregate industry through the application of new technologies that will help decrease costs and streamline processes.Saskatchewan Polytechnic will work with MSG to develop a digital method to determine gravel sourceparticulate size. This is traditionally done through a sieve analysis that takes a significant amount of time and cost for each analysis.
