What is Packing Sand?
Packing sand, or crusher dust, is a fine material made of finely crushed rock and mineral particles, which makes it perfect for various applications due to its excellent compaction properties.
Uses of Packing Sand
Packing sand has a broad spectrum of uses in construction and landscaping:
- Concreting: Packing sand is an important ingredient in concrete mixes, providing stability and improving the strength and durability of the final product.
- Base Preparation: The fine particles compact well, establishing a solid and stable foundation that prevents shifting and settling over time.
- Construction Sites: Ideal for creating solid foundations, filling voids, and stabilising areas before construction begins. It is also used for backfilling trenches and around utility pipes to ensure stability.
- Landscaping: Used for levelling and filling areas in landscaping projects, such as under artificial turf, garden paths, and driveways. It provides a smooth surface and eliminates weed growth.
- Drainage: Used in drainage systems to improve water flow and reduce soil erosion. It helps in creating effective drainage solutions around retaining walls, in trenches, and under pipes.
- Sports Fields and Playgrounds: Packing Sand is a stable base for artificial turf and other surfaces, ensuring safety and durability in high-traffic areas.
- Agricultural Use: Useful in preparing farm tracks and equestrian arenas, providing a firm and stable surface for vehicles and livestock.
