Red Building Sand Known as a base aggregate product, red building sand is mainly used for filling purposes, such as leveling surfaces before a construction project commences. This makes it an ideal, and much-needed, building material most often utilized for building and landscaping purposes. |
|
Washed Plaster Sand This sand is used for mixing plaster for building applications. The ideal plastering sand is generally fine, sharp, angular (never worn or rounded), and clean, with a diversity of particle sizes. |
|
Screened / Washed River Sand River sand is one of the most used building materials as it is needed to produce concrete and cement. Natural river sand, mined from riverbeds, is the preferred choice due to its fine consistency. Since the sand has been subjected to water for years, its silt and clay content is very low, making it ideal for building purposes. |
|
Builders Mix / Crusher Run This user-friendly building material is used in all kinds of construction projects, both small and large. The mix consists of a blend of building sand and aggregate. To use it for construction purposes, only cement and water are required. Most often, a builder's mix is used for the installation of concrete. |
|
G5 Subbase – Road build material G5 Sub-Base Material is a crushed product with a top size of 53mm down to fine dust. It is a specific product used below the G2 layer in the road construction industry and can also be compacted and used for foundation purposes. This material may contain approved natural fines not obtained from parent rock. |
|
G6 – G9 Natural Filling G6 Sub-Base Material is used as filling and a base course under roads and paving. This material may contain approved natural fines not obtained from parent rock. The nominal maximum size for uncrushed material is 2/3 of the compacted layer and for crushed material 63mm before compaction. |
|
G7 Sub-Base Material Used as filling and a base course under roads and paving. This material may contain approved natural fines not obtained from parent rock. The nominal maximum size for uncrushed material is 2/3 of the compacted layer and for crushed material 74mm. |
|
Green and White Clay for brick-making Clay suitable for the making of bricks is found on the mine. Tests have been done and samples of the different clay bricks possible are available. Clay bricks are cheaper and more cost-effective to produce, as the time necessary to bake at high temperatures is reduced, compared to the normal standard brickmaking process. |
|
Silica Sand Industrial sand and gravel, often called "silica," "silica sand," and "quartz sand," include sands and gravels with high silicon dioxide (SiO2) content. These sands are used in glassmaking; for foundry, abrasive, and hydraulic fracturing (frac) applications; and for many other industrial uses. Silica sand is also widely used on golf courses for filling bunkers and surrounding waste bunkers. |
