Sand (Se 30)
Applications & Uses
Sand with SE 30 Attribute
Sand with an SE 30 (Sand Equivalent value of 30) is a versatile construction aggregate commonly used in a variety of building and landscaping projects. The SE 30 rating indicates a moderate level of clay and fine dust content, which can influence the sand's performance in mixes and compaction.
This sand is typically sourced from natural deposits and processed to achieve a consistent texture. The SE 30 attribute means it may not be as clean as higher SE-rated sands, but it still provides adequate workability for many applications. It is often used in general fill, backfilling, pipe bedding, and as a base material for pavers or concrete. While it offers good compaction and is cost-effective, the moderate clay content may reduce drainage efficiency and could affect the finish in concrete or mortar mixes. For projects where ultra-clean sand is not required, SE 30 sand is a practical and economical choice for both residential and commercial use.
