Since
1933, Southern Products & Silica Company, Inc. has manufactured
superior quality specialty sand and gravel products for
a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications.
Our
Drowning Creek quarry consists of an underwater alluvial
deposit that yields a hard, rounded quartzite material substantially
free of deleterious materials (such as clay, silt, iron
and mica) of sufficient strength and hardness to resist
degradation during handling and use. This material is less
likely to spall and block a filter than weathered, softer
material mined on or near the surface of the ground.
All
material is washed, screen-sized, re-washed and sized again
according to standards outlined in the current American
Water Works Association Standard for Filtering Material,
B-100 as applicable.
