Product Detail
Aggregate – sand and gravel, is an important geological resource for highways, buildings, bridges and water filtration systems. Early European settlers removed beach gravel for their fill and support needs but is no longer used because of environmental concerns. Today, crushed stone is the major aggregate used because of its high quality and low granular qualities.
Chedabucto Aggregates Limited crushes a sedimentary stone called metagraywache, pronounced meta-gray-wacky. This rock, a form of sandstone, has been hardened by metamorphism and makes excellent aggregate. Chedabucto’s stone is the northern tongue of a formation of sedimentary rock that begins at the southern coastline of Nova Scotia from the Atlantic Ocean near Goldboro to Chedabucto Bay.
Pricing
Gravel and sand crushed by Chedabucto Aggregates are sold by tonnes. The aggregate is normally transported by dump trucks, semi dump trucks or belly dump trucks that are hired locally. A dump truck can carry 15 tonne of material and a belly dump 30 tonne.

Weighing
Chedabucto Aggregates have a registered scale to weigh all aggregate sold to its customers. This scale has the advantage of charging customers a price for the actual weight of the aggregate purchased and truckers can use the weight for their billing. It is also used for calculation of the volume of material necessary for filling a particular space. Large contractors have sophisticated equipment to measure the volume of fill needed for a job and can calculate progress by accumulating the weight of material delivered.
