through various methods. The demand for sand has increased due to the growth of the
construction industry, leading to the development of different sand manufacturing
techniques. This document provides an overview of sand manufacturing, its methods,
and its applications.

riverbeds, beaches, and deserts. It is commonly used in construction projects but
is becoming increasingly scarce due to environmental concerns.
2. Crushed Sand: Crushed sand is produced by crushing hard rocks, such as granite
and basalt, into small pieces. This type of sand is used in construction projects as
an alternative to natural sand.
3. Manufactured Sand: Manufactured sand is produced by crushing rocks into fine
particles and then washing them to remove impurities. This type of sand is
becoming increasingly popular due to its consistent quality and availability.
