PF Formation is a family owned and operated business.  The business was established in 1956 by Glen  Graham with the initials PF coming from Glen's wife name: Patricia Fay.  By 1983 their sons, John and Paul, had taken over the business and commenced sand extraction at Maroota with John taking full ownership of the business in 2004. 

PF Formation has now been operating at Maroota since 1983, 

The Maroota area has two distinct sands types known as ‘friable sandstone’ and ‘tertiary sand’. PF Formation supplies both sand types to the market.  

Tertiary sand is found in the southern of Maroota area and is mainly used in concrete related products in the Sydney market. The sand has been used in projects such as the Foreign Affairs Building in Canberra, Star City Casino, the M2 motorway and the Olympic facilities at Homebush. 

Friable sandstone is used for bricklaying sand and is found in the northern area of Maroota. The tertiary sand originally overlay the sandstone which over thousands of years made the sandstone friable so that it breaks down to sand. Over the years the colour was leached from the sandstone leaving the white sand Maroota is known for. 

The Maroota area now provides approximately 10% of Sydney’s total sand supplies. Approximately 50% of Sydney’s white bricklaying sand is sourced from Maroota. 

PF Formation has expanded over the years but its business is built around the quarrying activities at Maroota. The company continues to strive to improve the business, the environmental controls and the relationship with the local community.
