Manufactured Sand - Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone

Pattison MANUFACTURED SAND is produced using the highest quality ordovician dolomitic limestone. It is manufactured to specific physical properties and sizes.  Because the material is manufactured from high grade ordovician dolomitic limestone, it contains minimal deleterious materials. When Pattison MANUFACTURED SAND is used, the need for costly additives is dramatically reduced. Pattison MANUFACTURED SAND has exceptional friction factor, improving traction and life expectancy, freeze/thaw impacts, and reduced maintenance costs.

Manufactured Sand

Also known as fine aggregate, concrete sand, unwashed asphalt stoneManSand, asphalt material and washed asphalt chips, Pattison produces these products in our state-of-the-art, jaw/cone crushing plant featuring compression crushing technology.  It is is designed to  increase fractured faces.

Manufactured Sand Certifications

Pattison high quality Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone is used in Department of Transportation interstates and highways, hot mix asphalt roads, chip overlays, ultra thin overlays, microsurfacing, and chip seal roads.

Exceptional Quality Source Material

This material requires specific physical properties. Pattison’s quarries feature a variety of ledges that yield materials that meet our customer’s specific needs. Pattison’s MANUFACTURED SAND is produced from selected ledges of high quality rock which are durable and contain minimal deleterious material. As a result, Pattison’s MANUFACTURED SAND outperforms materials from non-Ordovician limestone quarries on freeze thaw, abrasion, specific gravity and absorption tests.

Manufactured Sand Production

Pattison MANUFACTURED SAND is of exceptional quality and are approved by the Departments of Transportation in Iowa, Missouri, and Minnesota  They are the optimal choice aggregate for asphalt and concrete material projects.

Because Pattison uses a direct to rail transfer system, these products move quickly from production to rail with minimal handling. This  reduces product degradation and handling costs. Here is what Wikipedia has to say

More about Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone

When it comes to rock, age really matters.  Ordovician Dolomitic Limestone is some of the highest quality, hardest and most durable anywhere in Iowa. Ordovocian formations are only found in the northeast portion of Iowa. Pattison’s Clayton, IA quarry site is right in the middle of it.

Logistics second to none

Pattison recently completed its Rail Spur project, extending multiple rail lines directly into our new state-of-the-art aggregate production plant!.

Pattison’s advanced direct to rail loadout system coupled with the Pattison rail spur allows aggregate products to be loaded directly from the production plant on to enclosed rail ore cars for delivery. Eliminating excess handling saves costs, and insures a higher quality product.
