Our 10 Stops - Stop # 10

Industrial sand & gravel pile.
Our last stop on this Virtual Tour will be to learn a little bit about industrial sand and gravel, which is pretty common in Georgia.

The sand and gravel that it produced here in Georgia is used either for construction or for industrial uses where the sand and gravel is used to make other materials.

I have found that industrial sand and gravel is sometimes used to make concrete, concrete blocks, glass, bricks and pipes. It is also sometimes used to make roof shingles, railroad parts, and water filtration.
