Cement is usually the first element that comes to mind when thinking about concrete. However, aggregates make up the largest percentage of concrete in construction. Their greatest impact is to offer strength and durability to concrete.
Having poor-quality aggregates leads to:
At Kenya Builders and Concrete Company Ltd., contractors, homeowners, and construction professionals are assured of the best, high-quality aggregates in Kenya for strong and durable concrete for their builds. Our aggregates form the structural backbone that determines the performance, durability, and longevity of buildings and infrastructure.
What Are Aggregates?
Aggregates are coarse and fine materials such as gravel, crushed stone, and sand used in making concrete. They make up 60–75% of the total volume of concrete in order to improve its strength.
Kenya Builders and Concrete Company Ltd. mines and supplies mined, crushed, and graded aggregates tailored for diverse construction needs. They include:
1. Stone Dust (0–3 mm, 0–4 mm): With ultra-smooth particles, it produces polished finishes and strong bonding in precast concrete and ready-mix concrete.
2. Graded Aggregates (10–20 mm): As a core ingredient in precast concrete and ready-mix concrete, it delivers stability and strength.
3. Double Crush Aggregates (3–6 mm, 6–10 mm, 10–14 mm & 14–20 mm): It is crushed twice for uniform shape and strength, making it perfect for asphalt concrete surface dressing and high-strength ready-mix concrete.
They help in concrete mix design optimization and saving on cement concent.
4. Washed Sand (0–2 mm): It is clean, fine sand for ready-mix concrete and plaster sand, giving smooth finishes.
5. Crusher Run (0–37.5 mm): It is a well-graded mix for sub-base and filling material, producing solid, compact foundations for roads and parking areas.
Construction conditions in Kenya, such as varying soil types and weather, make material quality even more critical.
