Sand Building

Construction sand is the most common and integral building material. Its use is necessary for the erection of buildings, the laying of highways, as well as highways. For various construction purposes, a material is required that has suitable characteristics. The quality of it greatly depends on the quality of future building structures.

Construction sand is a non-metallic natural building material that is mined in rivers, seas and on land in various ways with the help of special technologies. So, there are several types of this building material:

1) Quarry sand. This kind of building material is mined in quarries, natural or artificial. Despite the low quality, it is widely used in the construction and finishing works. The price of quarry sand depends on the quality and varies in the range of 300-600 rubles per 1 cubic meter;

2) Sandy soil. This kind of material contains a lot of dust, clay, silt or earth. These impurities significantly reduce the quality of it as a building material. In this regard, it must be cleaned. To do this, it is sieved or washed, thus getting rid of most unnecessary occurrences. Prices for sandy ground are low;

3) River sand. Such building material is extracted with the help of hydromechanics from the very bottom of the rivers. Often, river sand is used for internal finishing works as plaster or grouting. Often it is used for the construction of a sidewalk or the manufacture of concrete structures. The average cost of this bulk material is not lower than 450 rubles per 1 cubic meter;

4) Quartz sand. This name was given to the sand due to the large content of quartz. This building material is mined in quarries. Quartz sand is often used as a decorative finishing material, a filter, as molds during the manufacture of metal products. This building material is an integral part in creating a unique landscape design. The minimum cost is about 300 rubles per 1 cubic meter;

5) Coarse-grained sand. From such material concrete for sale and sand concrete are made. The construction of sidewalks involves the mandatory use of coarse-grained bulk material, which is also used in the manufacture of various mixtures for construction purposes.

Due to the wide variety of construction sand, it can be used for a variety of construction works. Each field of application of this material requires certain properties and qualities. Each kind of it has certain characteristics, and in connection with this and its scope. It is impossible to use sand of lower quality than required, since the erected structures will not meet all standards and norms. From the economic point of view it is not recommended to use material of too high quality, when it is not required. It can incur unnecessary expenses.
