Description
Red Sand (Ganga/Sone Balu) Medium upto 100 CFT
Advantages of Ganga River Sand in Construction:
-
Ideal for Plastering
The exceptionally fine grain size creates a smooth, even surface. This reduces the effort needed to achieve a flawless wall finish. -
Excellent Workability
The smooth texture makes the mortar highly plastic and easy to spread. This improves masonry speed and efficiency for laborers. -
Superior Brickwork Mortar
It mixes uniformly with cement to create a cohesive paste. This ensures tight, gap-free joints between bricks.
Primary Construction Uses of Red Balu
- Concrete Production: Mixed with cement and coarse aggregates to form heavy-duty concrete for pillars, beams, slabs, and foundations.
- Masonry Work: Used in structural mortar to securely bind bricks and concrete blocks together during wall construction.
- Foundation & Backfilling: Acts as a heavy structural base layer beneath flooring and foundations due to its high compaction capability.
- Infrastructure Projects: Deployed heavily in structural road bases, bridge embankments, and large-scale civil engineering developments.
- Sub-surface Drainage: High porosity allows it to function effectively as a drainage layer to keep water away from building basements.
-
- Plastering: Preferred for smooth wall finishes because of its finer grain size.
- Brickwork: Used extensively in mortar mix for masonry and general wall construction.
- Comparison: While Ganga sand excels in finishing and brickwork, builders in Bihar often use Sone river sand for heavy RCC work (pillars, beams, and slabs) due to its coarser and stronger structural composition
