Ballast

What is Ballast?

Ballast is a dense mixture of gravel and sand which forms a rough, coarse aggregate used in an extensive range of construction applications. Primarily, this aggregate is used in heavy-duty work and for practical uses such as making concrete.

Where is Ballast Used?

When Ballast is added to cement, it binds the aggregate particles together, forming strong foundations or base layers for garden walls or sheds, as well as for creating path edgings and kerb ledges. Ballast can also be used to safely secure fencing posts in place.
