Manufactured/Artificial sand

[kanukaushik]

Following are Manufactured/Artificial sand suppliers in Bangalore

http://www.robo.co.in/ -- Located in Bidadi , Roboplast is under R&D , Robo sand is avaialable
http://www.rocksand.in/ -- Mainly in AP , But have one unit in Bangalore. As of now it not working but will start in coming 2 months
http://www.bharathicement.com/mines-rock.aspx -- Located in Chickballapur , Plastering sand under R&D , Will be available by End of November
http://karnatakaenterprises.in/ -- They have plastering sand as well as normal sand both but expensive for me , might be due to distance , they quoted me around 55/cft
http://www.msand.in/ - Only in Kerala and TN

These manufacturers provides four types of products -
1) Manufactured sand for Concrete mixer used in RCC etc - Alternate of River sand
2) Manufactured sand for Concrete mixer used in Plastering - Alternate of River sand
3) 12mm , 20mm and 40mm jelly/Aggregate

Price for Manufactured sand is around 30/cft or 600/ton + Transportation charge around 3.5/Ton/KM + 5.5% Tax

Each ton of sand contains almost 20-22cft , almost same as River sand.

I called Bharti cement today , they sent sales guy with sample and visited a site where construction was going on. My site is around 60km from their Factory so they quoted 780/Ton (6 wheeler load containing around 20 tons or around 450 cft will cost around 15600 rs) including everything.

Planning to go with Manufactured sand. By the time i will require plastering , hopefully Plaster sand will be available.

Please provide your comments on same.

One of my known contacts got 2 stone crusher units (Oriental) near Bidadi (close to Robo sand unit). He recently installed new machinery for producing M-Sand and says the demand is quite high from RMC's, where currently he's managing to sell around 1,600 tons a day.
I just got 20 tones (6 wheel lorry) M-Sand last week and both my Engineer and contractor was very happy with the quality. In fact the owner himself is currently constructing his home and using the same material (i visited his site)
He is quoting Rs 550/tonne, assume this is quite competitively priced.
Please let me know if anyone is looking for M-sand, will share the contact details.

Good quality River sand rates are very high. Can people who have constructed houses with msand (both walls and plastering) share some inputs on the quality and durability of such constructions . Reg NK
