Getting suitable materials for your construction project is vital for the success of your next project. If you use the wrong material, your project could experience future issues. It is essential to ensure you have the right supplies for your project, and that is what we do at Crush Supply.
There are two routes a buyer can choose from when purchasing material. The material needed can be produced from mined, virgin material, or upcycled construction and demolition materials. The upcycled material significantly extends the life of the aggregate mining industry and is beneficial to the environment. Upcycled material prevents used, mined material from being disposed of in a landfill and extends the material’s potential and life cycle.
Upcycled material is of the same quality as mined material and weighs less. Reduced weight in upcycled materials allows the construction cost of your project to decrease. The materials CRUSH offers are 57 stone, road base, screenings, oversized aggregates, crushed asphalt, and rip rap. When selecting your upcycled material, it’s essential to know the type of job it’s for and the size of material needed. Each material has different properties and uses.
