CONCRETE SAND FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Superior Aggregates for Your Road Construction Project
LIMESTONE AND SILICA SAND ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF MODERN ROADS
Aggregates for Road Construction
Pontotoc provides aggregates for all of your road construction projects. Our high-quality crushed limestone and industrial concrete sand help you create sturdy roads.
Our Construction-Grade Sand
Sand is an essential material for building. Construction-grade sand is the perfect material in road building because of its durability.
When you have a strong base layer for your projects, you have solid roads that last a lifetime.
What Type of Sand Is Used To Make Concrete?
Concrete sand is made from limestone and cement. The mixture of these two materials creates a coarse sand that your road construction team can use as a pavement filler as well as a level medium. The sand size for concrete is typically 20 mm, but it’s 40 mm for mass concrete.
If you’re looking for a quality material to make concrete sand with, we provide crushed limestone for your project so you can make the perfect concrete aggregate for road construction.
Benefits of using Pontotoc’s concrete sand include:
- Makes leveling uneven ground or roads easier
- Creates better traction on icy roads
- Easy to pack
- Strong base layer or under paver for roads
What Are Other Aggregates for Road Construction?
Concrete sand isn’t our only option for road construction. We also offer:
Industrial Silica/Ceramic Sand
Industrial silica sand is used as a flooring compound and can be mixed with asphalt for added strength.
Our superior silica sand contains crushed quartz that you can make cement, asphalt, and roads with. Benefits of using our silica sand in your road construction include:
- Increases your road’s weather resistance
- Protective against wear and corrosion
- High quality and well rounded
- Increases elasticity
- Low oil absorption
- Rich pigmentation
Fine-Crushed Limestone Gravel
Crushed limestone is very coarse and created through a detailed mechanical process.
As mentioned earlier, limestone makes concrete for road construction—but limestone can be used in other ways, too. Limestone strengthens your road construction when used as an aggregate base layer.
Benefits of Pontotoc’s Construction-Grade Sand and Limestone
You give your road construction project an immediate boost when you choose us as your limestone and sand provider. Benefits of using our materials for infrastructure projects include:
Increased Strength
Limestone is essential to modern road construction, providing strength and durability for your roads.
Limestone has been used to create quality roads for many years—and for a good reason. It’s a versatile material that can serve almost every role in road construction. When mixed with cement, it’s used as a leveling medium to even out roads.
Because this stone is abundant nearly everywhere, it’s also a renewable resource that’s good for the environment.
Pontotoc offers a variety of limestone options for road construction, including:
- Limestone rock
- Limestone chips
- Crushed limestone
Pure Materials
We mine our industrial-grade silica sand in the Permian layer in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Oil Creek, Pennsylvania, which produces pure quartz silica. Pure silica sand is the highest quality sand for road construction.
Plus, our silica sand is free of clay, dirt, and debris.
Versatility
Silica sand has a high melting point. When applied to roads, it mends cracks in the pavement. You can also use our sand as a base layer for roads, increasing their structural integrity.
Using sand in road construction creates better grading, which allows roads to curve around landscapes instead of cutting through them. Our sand is eco-friendly by allowing you to work around nature and wildlife.
