Aggregate Transportation

Did you know that aggregates are an essential component of construction projects? They provide the foundation for roads, bridges, and many other structures, but yet, their importance is often overlooked. While basic, aggregates make up the majority of asphalt pavement and concrete mix. Nearly every project needs to either import or export aggregates, which is why it’s essential to use a dependable transportation company when you need these materials moved. At Gana Trucking & Excavating, we specialize in transporting raw materials like gravel, crushed stone, and sand. With our full fleet of trucks and heavy equipment, we have the experience necessary to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

What are Aggregates?

Aggregates are raw materials such as gravel, crushed stone, or sand that are used in construction. These materials are mined from quarries, deposits, and underground sediments. When combined with a binding material, like water, they form into a compound material, such as asphalt or cement concrete. These ingredients make a very compact and strong composite.

What are Aggregates Used For?

While rocks and sand might not be the most exciting part of construction, they are essential to the success of many different types of projects. Wherever you see asphalt or concrete, aggregates play a key part in that formation. Here are some projects that aggregates are used for:

-Roads

-Bridges

-Buildings

-Parking Lots

-Railways

-Dams

-Driveways

-Sidewalks

-Grading and Leveling

-Erosion Control

-Water Drainage Systems

-Embankments

-Landscaping

-Recreational Purposes

Following steel, concrete makes up the largest volume of construction materials used in the United States. It’s a top choice because of its strength, versatility, and cost.
