Drainage 14mm
Aggregate drainage scoria, distinguished by its particle size falling within the 10-14mm range, is a variant of volcanic rock frequently harnessed in a broad spectrum of construction and landscaping scenarios due to its exceptional attributes. Its porous structure is particularly suitable for drainage, particularly in French drains and subsurface drainage systems. This permeable nature enables the efficient passage of water while mitigating the risk of soil obstruction or clogging.
This is a natural product, and colour variations may occur between batches. We recommend taking delivery of the full job requirements at once to minimise colour differences.
Applications
Scoria aggregate finds diverse applications across various sectors due to its unique properties:
Drainage Systems: It plays a vital role in drainage systems, especially in French drains and subsurface applications, thanks to its porous structure, enabling efficient water flow while preventing soil clogging.
Structural Lightweight Concrete: Scoria aggregate is a valuable ingredient in lightweight concrete mixtures, reducing the overall weight in construction projects.
Filter Media: Used as a filter media in water treatment and filtration systems, effectively removing impurities and particulates from water.
Backfill Material: Scoria can be used as backfill material in construction projects, particularly when lightweight fill is preferred.
Green Roof Substrate: Scoria aggregate is a lightweight substrate in green roof systems, supporting plant growth and facilitating drainage.
Retaining Wall Drainage: Scoria enhances drainage behind retaining walls, mitigating water accumulation and pressure, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure.
Benefits
Scoria aggregates present many advantages attributed to their distinct characteristics, particularly in scenarios where efficient drainage, lightweight materials, and thermal insulation are prerequisites. The selection of scoria aggregate size and its application hinges upon the project’s unique demands and engineering criteria. Adhering to industry standards and best practices is imperative when integrating scoria aggregate into diverse applications.
