What is Cabling Sand?
Cabling sand, also known as 0-6mm sharp sand, is a fine, clean sand typically used in electrical and telecommunications applications. Its smooth texture and small grain size make it ideal for providing a protective layer over underground cables, ensuring their safety and longevity. This type of sand is also highly valued for its ability to be compacted, offering both protection and stability.
Applications of Cabling Sand:
Cable Bedding: Used to surround and protect cables in underground installations, preventing damage from surrounding materials.
Pipe Bedding: Provides a stable, protective base for pipes and other underground infrastructure.
Trench Filling: Ideal for filling trenches after cable or pipe installation to ensure a solid, level surface.
General Landscaping: Can also be used in light landscaping applications where a finer sand texture is required.
Benefits of Cabling Sand:
Protection for Cables: Provides a protective barrier for cables, reducing the risk of external damage.
Compactable: The fine texture allows for easy compaction, making it ideal for underground use.
Durability: Long-lasting and resistant to shifting, ensuring stability for cables and pipes.
Versatile: While primarily used for cable and pipe installations, cabling sand can also be used in various other landscaping and construction projects.
Coverage Guidance:
A bulk bag of 0-6mm cabling sand (850kg) typically covers:
8.95 m² at a depth of 50mm
4.47 m² at a depth of 100mm
For best results, apply in layers of 50mm to 100mm, ensuring proper compaction to avoid settling.
