Rocksand Minerals, today an ISO 9001:2015 company, was established in the year 2003. It is one of the largest manufacturers of sand and aggregates of 10mm, 20mm and 40mm, in Andhra Pradesh.

Smart Option - Rocksand

An effective alternative to ‘River’ sand now comes in the form of ROCKSAND - a ‘manufactured’ sand from crushed rock. Based on ‘Rock-on-Rock Technology’, Rocksand is forumlated to lend added strength, solidity and stability to all kinds of construction - residential quaters, commercial complexes, bridges, flyovers and factories, Metros etc., Rocksand is manufactured leverging state-of-the-art infrastructure and imported machinery. The sand manufactured thus conforms to IS:383-1970 norms, Zone II grading ensuring utmost quality and endurance.

Environment friendly option ROCKSAND

RockSand - born out of a commitment to Environment.
Increasingly indiscrete dredging of sand along river-beds has been a matter of grave environmental concern.
It causes a steady depletion of ground-water resources which are essential for our very survival. Indiscriminate dredging by sand suppliers, revealing utter disregard to the consequences, has prompted the Government to impose a ban on quarrying river sand.
Environment friendly option - Rocksand An effective alternative to ‘River’ sand is ROCKSAND, or sand ‘manufactured’ from crushed rock (naturally available in abundance) based on the European ‘Rock-on-Rock Technology’.
Rocksand, besides being protective of the environment, also lends added strength, solidity and stability to all kinds of construction - residential quarters, commercial complexes, bridges, flyovers and factories, etc.
RockSand’ is the preferred enviro-economical alternative to ‘River sand’!

The uniformity size and shape of teh sand particles reduce voids in the structure and thus lend it extra solidity and higher compressive strength to the concrete.
Absence of organic adn inorganic impurities in the sand effectively survice climatic vagaries.
Cubical nature of the sand particles & less void content Saves on consumption of cement by 4% - 5% as well as water.

Equidimensional nature of the sand particles.
Helps effectively to overcomes such common concrete deficiencies like - segregation, bleeding, honeycombing adn capillaries.
Saves on the labour and other costs of sieving and screening associated with river sand. Rocksand is available in required quantites and at a cost relatively lesser than river sand.

Coarser surface texture allows cement to adhere more and increse tensile strength of the concrete.
Increase flexural strength will allow slab thickness to be reduce up to 10%.
Lower flow times with superior shaped particles increase workability & pumpability. Rock quarried from single source of quarry results in consistent quality of sand.
