Sand

A foundational construction material, plays a vital role in concrete mixing, bricklaying, and landscaping, owing to its granular composition and versatility in diverse building applications.

SANDFILL

As the name implies, used primarily as backfill. Not a screened or processed material. Size of particles varies but is generally fine in nature.

BEDDING SAND

Screened coarse sand with particle sizes up to 1/2 inch. Used under walkways, interlocking pavers, stones and as trench or pipe bedding.

BRICK SAND

Finely screened sand with particles no larger than 4 millimetres. Used as a mortar mix. Also works well in sandboxes and play areas.

CONCRETE SAND

A well blended sand with particles smaller than 3/16” that has been screened and washed. Silt content is under 3%. Used for making concrete/cement products.

FILTER MEDIA SAND

A coarse sand between 2-4.75mm that has been screened and washed. Often used in septic beds or areas that need to be free draining.

Fill Management

Screening Survey

Screening in the aggregate industry involves separating material into 2 to 6 different sized products. This is done by passing the material through a vibrating screen box with multiple screens or meshes. As the material moves through the screens, smaller particles fall through while larger ones are retained. The separated material is collected on conveyors for stockpiling. These end products, ranging in size, are then utilized in various building and construction applications.
