Quarried Pipe Bedding
-
Composition:
Quarried pipe bedding is a granular material made from crushed stone, gravel, or sand sourced directly from quarries. It is specifically graded to include particles of uniform size, ensuring consistent support and protection for underground pipes. The material is free from sharp edges so pipe damage is minimal. -
Uses:
It is primarily used in the installation of underground pipes, cables, and utilities. It provides a stable, even layer that supports and cushions pipes, reducing the risk of displacement or damage due to ground movement or external pressure. Additionally, its composition allows for proper drainage, preventing water accumulation around the pipes and extending their lifespan. The material’s uniformity ensures that it can be compacted easily, making it ideal for both residential and commercial construction projects.
