A coarse washed sand for mixing concrete — clean, sharp and consistent, so every batch behaves the way the last one did.
How it’s made
Screened to the coarse end of the deposit and washed until the clays are gone — clean sand is what concrete strength depends on, and inland sand's sharper grain locks into a mix better than rounded beach sand. Checked out the gate like everything we produce.
Sand is the fine aggregate in a concrete mix — it fills between the stone and carries the paste. Too fine and the mix needs more water and more cement to stay workable, which costs strength. Carrying clay or silt is worse again: fines coat the grains and get between the cement paste and the aggregate, so the bond never fully develops. Coarse and washed is what a mix wants.
MRP Sand Quarry is an inland sand quarry — nothing is dredged off a coastline. Inland deposits hold a far wider range of grain sizes than coastal sand, so we screen and cut sizes from ultra fines right up to coarse, and because the sand has never been near seawater there's no salt in it. Tell us the size the job needs and we cut to it.
