Aggregates, such as concrete, are some of the most widely used materials in construction throughout the world.
Construction Aggregates
Aggregates are used for a range of applications within the construction industry. They include cement, concrete, asphalt for road building, sand, stone, and items such as paving, blocks and slabs, which are forms of pre-cast concrete. Aggregates come in a wide variety of textures and sizes, depending on their intended use.
Natural or primary aggregates are virgin materials. They have not been subject to any process other than crushing.
Secondary aggregates are a by-product of other industrial processes. They include things such as manufactured slag and china clay.
Recycled aggregates include things such as crushed glass, spent railway ballast, reclaimed asphalt, and construction demolition waste.
Aggregates allow us to build things such as roads, public spaces, homes and buildings. They provide unmatched strength and durability, and are available in abundance for easy and plentiful use.
