Aggregates

We supply aggregates in various sizes and specifications as per requirement of the client.

FOR CONCRETE MIX

Aggregates, which account for 60 to 75 percent of the total volume of concrete, are divided into two distinct categories–fine and coarse. Fine aggregates generally consist of crushed stone with most particles passing through a 3/8-inch sieve. Coarse aggregates are any particles greater than 0.19 inch, but generally range between 3/8 and 1.5 inches in diameter.

FOR ASPHALT MIX

For best results, aggregates are blended into graduated sizes to provide the strongest, best packing structure while allowing enough extra space for the asphalt binder and some “breathing” space (air voids).  To get the strongest pavement structure, larger aggregates are used for the base, with successively smaller aggregates used for upper layers in the pavement.  The hardest and most angular are used for the surface.

Standard Sizes:
5-10 mm, 10-20 mm, 20-28 mm, 28-38 mm
