Sand and Aggregate in the Saudi context
Washed silica sand suits concrete and plaster; red sand is used for backfill only, since salt content weakens structural mixes. Quantity planning: A 1:2:4 concrete mix per m³ uses about 350 kg cement, 0.5 m³ sand and 0.75 m³ aggregate — roughly 0.8 tons of sand and 1.2 tons of gravel. Minimum order for delivery in Saudi Arabia: One tipper load, typically 20-30 tons. Leading brands available on Benna include Local licensed quarries, Bin Quraya, Al Rashid Quarries, Saudi Crushers.
