Sand
Sand aggregates are the granular loose material which role is to act as a skeleton or filling inside concrete, and has a variety of applications inside cement concrete, asphalt concrete, road foundation, railway track slag, mortar and other construction industries.
What is Sand?
Sand is a mixture of small grains of rock and granular materials, predominantly defined by size; finer than gravel and coarser than silt.
Sand comes from many locations, sources, and environments and forms when rocks break down from weathering and erosion, over thousands and even millions of years.
Aggregate materials are obtained from natural mines of sand or sand and gravel, quarries, deposits, and underground sediments.
Sand Benefits
