Concrete Sand (Fdot, Concrete, Grey)
Applications & Uses
Concrete Sand (FDOT, Concrete Grade) - Grey
Concrete sand with FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) concrete-grade specification is a high-quality, grey-colored aggregate specifically produced for use in concrete mixes. Sourced from natural deposits and carefully processed, this sand meets strict standards for cleanliness, gradation, and performance, ensuring reliable results in structural and non-structural concrete applications.
The FDOT concrete attribute guarantees that the sand is free from excessive fines and organic materials, which helps achieve optimal strength and durability in finished concrete. Its consistent particle size promotes excellent workability and compaction, making it ideal for mixing with cement and aggregate for sidewalks, driveways, slabs, and other flatwork. Additionally, it is commonly used as a leveling base for pavers and as a bedding material for pipes. The grey color blends seamlessly with most concrete mixes. Pros include superior drainage, reduced risk of shrinkage cracks, and compliance with state and commercial building codes. As a con, it is not intended for decorative or play sand applications due to its coarser texture.
