Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
English term or phrase: called off
(Contexto: campo de golfe)

Budgeting for sand
Not all of the bunker needs to be re-sanded, rather the sand needs to be readjusted and topped up where necessary. For budgeting purposes, it should be assumed that each bunker has an area of 5 x 10 square metre area, multiplied by 100 bunkers giving a total area of 5000m2. This multiplied by an **allowance of 50 mm, to top up the sand, provides a total of 250 m3 x the bulk density of 1.6 equals around 400 tonnes.

The sand would be **called off in 100 tonne lots as required.
