Sand products
Concrete & construction sands
General-purpose sands used across concrete production, asphalt and construction applications.
Concrete sand
Produced to meet Australian Standards for use in concrete and asphalt mixes, delivering consistent grading and reliable performance.
Best for
- Concrete production
- Asphalt production
- Paving and slabs
Natural sand
Naturally occurring sand, typically washed and screened, suitable for a wide range of construction applications.
Best for
- General construction and fill
- Landscaping applications
- Concrete and asphalt support uses
Fine sand
Fine-grain material suitable for blending, finishing applications and asphalt filler use.
Best for
- Asphalt filler
- Sand blending
- Finishing applications
Engineered sands
Manufactured sands produced from quarry materials under controlled conditions to achieve consistent grading and performance.
Manufactured sand
Engineered from quarry materials to deliver consistent grading and performance similar to natural sand, suitable for use in concrete production.
Best for
- Concrete production (as a replacement or blend with natural sand)
- Applications requiring consistent grading and supply
- Large-scale infrastructure and commercial projects
Cement-treated manufactured sand
Manufactured sand combined with a controlled cement content to enhance strength and workability in demanding applications.
Best for
- High-performance concrete applications
- Projects requiring additional strength and stability
- Engineered construction applications
Application sands
Sands designed for specific construction and infrastructure applications where material performance is defined by function.
Bedding sand
Material with higher fines content to help retain shape and provide stable support for construction elements.
Best for
- Pipe bedding
- Trenching and backfill
- Under slabs and paving
Packing sand
Fine material used for compaction and packing around structures and services.
Best for
- Backfill and packing
- Filling voids
- Compaction support
Filter sand
Coarser sand with minimal fines, allowing water to pass freely through the material.
Best for
- Drainage systems
- Filtration applications
- Water management systems
Specialty sand products
Specialised sands for decorative, industrial and system-based applications such as pool finishes, epoxy systems and other niche uses.
