Aggregate Supply
Composition and Types of Aggregates:
- Aggregate supply encompasses a range of materials, including crushed stone, gravel, sand, and recycled concrete, used in construction.
- These materials are classified by size and purpose, such as coarse aggregates (gravel) and fine aggregates (sand), catering to specific needs like concrete mixing, road construction, and drainage systems.
Benefits to the Customer:
- Aggregates provide the foundational strength and stability needed for construction projects, improving durability and longevity.
- Their use in drainage systems helps prevent waterlogging, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing the safety and functionality of infrastructure.

Here’s a comparison table between quarried aggregates and recycled aggregates:
Aspect |
Quarried Aggregates |
Recycled Aggregates |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Generally more expensive due to extraction and processing costs. | Typically cheaper due to lower processing costs and use of recycled materials. |
| Uses | Primarily used in high-specification construction projects like highways, bridges, and foundations. | Commonly used in lower-spec projects such as road base, landscaping, and non-structural concrete. |
| Environmental Impact | Higher environmental impact due to land disruption, energy use, and emissions during extraction and processing. | Lower environmental impact as it reduces waste sent to landfills and the need for new natural resources. |
| Availability | Availability can be limited to certain regions, depending on the proximity of quarries. | More widely available, especially in urban areas where demolition waste is plentiful. |
