Oh no. For some reason I thought we were manufacturing the sand used in construction and stuff. At what point do we stop stealing it and start making it? Is that actually any better?
Isn’t one of the issues that the sand in the deserts isn’t the right kind?
Yes, sand in the desert and beaches is “too old”, in other words, it’s too smooth and can’t hold material together. That’s why Dubai is importing huge amounts of sand while being literally a city in the desert.
Some companies came up with an alternative by grounding cement blocks into cement sand instead.
Got it. I’ll just make me some concrete… Alright I need
- Cement mix
- Pebbles
- Sand… oh shit.
