Sand (Sump, Coarse)
Applications & Uses
Coarse Sump Sand
Coarse sump sand is a robust construction aggregate characterized by its larger, gritty particles and suitability for sump and drainage applications. Unlike fine sand, its coarser texture allows for superior water permeability, making it ideal for projects where efficient drainage is essential. This sand is typically sourced from natural deposits and screened to ensure a consistent, coarse gradation.
The coarse attribute of this sump sand means it resists compaction, allowing water to flow freely through the material. This makes it a preferred choice for use in drainage systems, septic system backfill, and as a bedding layer for pipes. In residential settings, it's often used beneath pavers or flagstones to promote drainage and prevent pooling. While its open structure is excellent for drainage, it may not be suitable for applications requiring a smooth or compacted finish, such as plastering or play areas. Overall, coarse sump sand is valued for its functional performance in both commercial and residential drainage and filtration projects.
