Sand (Manufactured, Txdot)
Applications & Uses
Manufactured Sand - TXDOT Specification
Manufactured sand meeting TXDOT specifications is a finely crushed aggregate produced from high-quality stone, engineered to meet strict standards for use in construction projects. Unlike natural sand, this product is created by mechanically crushing rock, resulting in angular particles that provide excellent interlock and stability in mixes.
The manufactured attribute ensures consistent particle size and shape, which is crucial for achieving uniform compaction and strength in concrete, asphalt, and mortar applications. TXDOT certification guarantees the material meets rigorous quality and performance criteria, making it ideal for state and municipal roadwork, as well as commercial and residential construction. Common uses include concrete production, road base, pipe bedding, and as a component in asphalt mixes. The angular nature of manufactured sand improves bonding and reduces voids, though it may be less suitable for decorative or barefoot areas due to its texture.
