The Particle Size
Distribution chart shows the range of particle sizes for each sieve size, with the percentage of particles falling within each range. This information is helpful in determining the suitability of the sand for specific applications. The chart shows that the sand is mostly in Zone 3, with particle sizes ranging from 2.36 mm to 150 µm. This makes it suitable for a wide range of construction applications.
Washed Sand
Washed Sand is a type of sand that is washed to remove impurities and ensure a clean and uniform particle size.
It complies with the Qatar Construction Specification, which sets the standards for construction materials in the region.
This sand is mostly in Zone 3, which means it has a particle size distribution that is suitable for various construction applications.
Applications
Washed Sand is commonly used in civil construction work, such as for preparing the foundation of buildings and roads, as well as for filling in earthworks.
It is also ideal for preparing cement blocks, which are commonly used in the construction of walls and other structures.
Packaging
The sand is available in bulk quantities only and is not packaged in bags. This is because it is commonly used in large-scale construction projects, and bulk transport is more convenient and cost-effective for such applications.
To ensure the sand remains clean and free from contamination during transportation, it is often covered or sealed with a tarp or other protective covering.
