What Are Aggregates?

Aggregates, including sand, gravel, and crushed stone, are among the world’s most essential building materials and form the foundation of modern infrastructure. From roads and bridges to homes, schools, and airports, aggregates are critical to economic growth and everyday life.
When combined with cement, aggregates become a key ingredient in concrete, concrete block, roof tiles, and pipe. They are also an essential component of asphalt pavement, providing strength, stability, and durability across countless construction applications.
