Fill Sand

Fill Sand

Our Fill sand, also known as cable sand, is a manufactured fine aggregate with a consistency of 0/6mm grading, making it ideal for use as a non-structural backfill material across a range of groundworks and civil engineering applications. Due to its compacting nature and consistency it is ideal for the use beneath pipework, ducting, concrete slabs, paving, and flagging. Fill sand is frequently chosen for utility trench reinstatement and void filling where a stable and compactable layer is required.

Fill Sand enables a smooth finish and easy compaction through all its on site applications, within construction projects where a non-coarse material is essential for protecting pipework and cables, Fill Sand is the first choice, during and after installation.
