What is Cable Sand Used For?

Cable sand is a finely graded aggregate (typically 0/6mm) commonly used in construction and utility projects for its excellent compaction, protection, and drainage properties. Its primary use is as a bedding and backfill material for electrical cables and pipelines, providing a soft, stable layer that minimizes damage and ensures long-term durability. Additionally, it serves as an ideal fill for trench work, drainage systems, and groundwork preparation.
