What is As Dug Reject Sand?
As Dug Reject Sand is a raw, naturally sourced material extracted directly from excavation sites without any washing or grading. Unlike refined sands, reject sand includes a mix of fine particles, small stones, and traces of clay. This composition makes it an affordable, adaptable choice for construction and groundwork tasks where precision isn't critical but bulk and stability are key.
Applications of As Dug Reject Sand:
Backfilling Trenches: Ideal for filling utility trenches where compaction and bulk matter more than cleanliness or grading.
Raising Ground Levels: Perfect for building up uneven or low-lying areas prior to final surfacing.
Temporary Tracks & Access Roads: Offers an economical base for short-term roadways on construction sites or farms.
Bulk Fill Projects: Suitable for use in void filling or pre-foundation leveling work.
General Landscaping & Ground Stabilisation: Used to stabilise areas prior to laying turf, topsoil, or decorative layers.
Pipe Bedding (where specified): Can be used where specification allows, though not suitable for high-spec pipe bedding due to its mixed composition.
Benefits of As Dug Reject Sand:
Cost-Effective: One of the most economical fill materials available.
Multi-Purpose: Suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty and preparatory applications.
Natural Composition: Environmentally friendly alternative that reuses site-won materials.
Available in Bulk or Bags: Flexible order sizes to suit both small projects and large developments.
Coverage Guidance:
Bulk Bag (Approx. 800–900kg): Covers roughly 10–12 m² at a depth of 50mm, depending on compaction and material moisture.
Loose Tonne: Covers approximately 12–15 m² at a depth of 50mm. Actual coverage may vary based on the material's composition and site conditions.
