Quality Construction Sand
For Road Construction & Infrastructure Projects
Infrastructure projects demand building materials that perform under pressure - literally. Whether you're backfilling around a foundation, setting pipe or building a highway, inconsistent or contaminated sand can compromise long-term performance and drive up costs. Covia delivers high-quality construction sand engineered for the durability, drainage and load-bearing strength required in heavy-use applications. Backed by rigorous quality control and a reliable supply chain, we help contractors, engineers and municipalities build it right the first time.
The Right Sand for Any Project, Large or Small
ROAD CONSTRUCTION
For road base, asphalt or concrete, Covia’s construction-grade sand supports strength, stability and smooth finishes. Our strict grading and screening ensure reliable compaction and load distribution, helping road construction contractors reduce maintenance needs and extend pavement life.
BACKFILL
Poor-quality backfill can lead to settlement, erosion and future failures. Covia offers clean, well-graded sand that improves compaction and drainage, making it ideal for backfilling around foundations, utility lines and retaining walls. It’s the smart choice for building stable, long-lasting infrastructure.
PIPE BEDDING
Installing underground utilities requires bedding materials that protect pipe integrity while promoting proper drainage. Covia’s sand solutions are engineered to deliver uniform support, reduce shifting and meet project specs—making us a go-to construction building materials supplier for municipal and civil projects.

Diversity in Size and Shape
Whole Grain Silica Sand
Covia’s whole-grain silica sand is carefully screened to deliver consistent particle size and shape, providing optimal drainage, compaction and stability in construction applications like pipe bedding, road base and backfill. Its durable, rounded grains resist degradation - making it ideal for high-load infrastructure projects.
Ground Silica Sand
Our ground silica sand offers a finer, more controlled particle size distribution for use in custom building products, grout, mortar and other cementitious materials. Its uniformity enhances workability and surface finish, while its purity improves bonding and reduces the risk of contaminants affecting mix performance.
Fine Ground Silica Sand
Covia’s fine-ground silica sand is engineered for high-performance applications where precision matters - such as polymer concretes, specialty coatings and sealants. Its ultra-fine particles provide a smooth texture, improve filler loading and support consistent curing and strength in advanced formulations.
