ROCKS & SPALLS

Benedict has been supplying large sandstone and basalt rock, as well as the smaller sized sandstone and basalt spalls for many years. Sandstone Rock and Spalls are available to collect Ex-Bin from their quarries or delivered to site.

Sandstone Rock is commonly used for solid stacked retaining walls, water abutment for creek beds, car park barriers for sports fields and feature rocks in landscape. Basalt Armour Rock is usually used for Sea Wall and Watercourse construction due to its superior physical and chemical durability.

Sandstone Spalls look great as a non-structural gabion basket filler and are also popular as creek bed and bank lining, and for use as bridging layers in new estates where rising water is a concern. Basalt Spalls (tested to RMS R55) have long been the material of choice for Gabion Baskets, and have also been used as chunky decorative aggregate for landscape where a grey coloured material is desired.
