Welsh Slate Construction Aggregates
As a construction aggregate, Welsh Slate can be used as a granular sub-base for road building, car parks, footpaths and driveways due to its excellent load bearing qualities.
It can also be used as pipe bedding, washed sand for use in precast and ready-mixed concrete, slate sand (as a base for laying block paving), capping layers or crusher runs in road building, and as dug/fill, for filling large voids.
Welsh Slate construction aggregates are produced as a by product of roofing slate production from both current and historic workings at its quarries in North Wales.
