What is Construction Gravel?

Aggregates are simply a component of composite materials and serve as a reinforcement to add strength to the overall composite material. It is very popular on construction sites due to this simple benefit, but in general this material has many great uses. Foundations, roads and railroads commonly used construction gravel aggregate as a base material. This is due to the stability the gravel provides for the workers to build upon. It is also a low-cost material to work with and binds well with concrete and asphalt, which are more expensive materials to work with.

Construction GravelConstruction Gravel Sources

Using gravel for various construction projects is very common. It is even pretty great to use for your home driveway! There are three main areas that are of note when it comes to the sources and they are:

  1. Mining of mineral aggregate deposits: sand, gravel and stone.
  2. Waste slag used after the manufacturing of iron and steel
  3. Recycling of concrete

A large majority of the aggregate used is supplied through those areas. However, there are some other more minor materials that are used more so as specialty lightweight aggregates. This includes clay, pumice, perlite and vermiculite. The popularity of construction gravel is mainly due to its cheap costs. It is also highly flexible with the projects it can be used in, which makes it even more popular. It can be sourced from various locations and is most effectively used with both concrete and asphalt.

Modern Production of Construction Gravel

Modern blasting techniques spawned the creation of quarries around the world. Effective methods were put in place to extract many different types of bedrock deposits. Quality materials to use in construction, such as marble, granite and limestone, do not exist. But sand and gravel are much more readily available. Many mine those materials for aggregate use. It is also easy to ship construction aggregate to places that need it. And do so at a cost-effective rate. Aggregate may not be a large scale solution for the lack of better materials. However, it work great for many applications.
