River Sands Pipe Sand is ideal as the bedding and backfill sand around pipes. It can also be used in different construction environments including plumbing trenches and house slabs.
Typically, our Pipe Sand is placed at the bottom of the trench underneath where the pipe is to be laid as bedding sand. It is then used as sand backfill around the pipe once it has been placed and connected.
Made up of subangular, round sand particles River Sands Pipe Sand won’t damage the pipe with any sharp and pointy particles. Additionally, the Pipe Sand is washed and graded to ensure it provides good drainage and can compact if required.
