Details
Quarry Dust is a by-product of the crushing process during quarrying activities, typically produced when stones are crushed into aggregates. It is a fine material that can be used as a partial replacement for sand in various construction applications. Known for its consistency and affordability, quarry dust is an economical alternative that enhances strength and compaction in construction mixes.
Benefits
-
Cost-Effective – More affordable than natural river sand, reducing overall construction cost.
-
Good Compaction – Fills voids effectively and improves density in concrete and base layers.
-
Increased Strength – Enhances compressive strength when used in concrete mix design.
-
Eco-Friendly – Utilizes quarry by-product, promoting sustainable construction practices.
-
Versatile Use – Suitable for concrete production, paving, road base, and backfilling.
-
Reduced Sand Dependency – Helps conserve natural sand resources.
