Sand (Pump Sand)
Applications & Uses
Pump Sand
Pump sand is a specially processed fine aggregate designed for use in applications where easy flow and minimal clogging are essential. This material is typically sourced from natural deposits and screened to achieve a consistent, fine texture, making it ideal for pumping through hoses and pipes during construction projects.
The fine, uniform nature of pump sand allows it to move smoothly with water, reducing the risk of blockages and ensuring efficient placement in hard-to-reach areas. This makes it a preferred choice for backfilling around utility lines, filling voids, and as a bedding material for pipes and underground infrastructure. In both residential and commercial settings, pump sand is valued for its ease of handling and ability to conform to irregular spaces. While its fine texture offers excellent workability, it is less suitable for load-bearing applications or areas requiring high compaction.
