Materials Matter – Get the Right Mix

As you have likely seen on the job, it takes both quality materials and technical expertise to get the right mix. At Texas Materials we focus on quality aggregate production to use in all stages of the construction process including ready mix concrete and hot mix asphalt.  Aggregate is mixed with either portland cement to form concrete or asphalt cement to create hot mix asphalt.  These products are used as foundational materials for all types of roads as well as commercial and residential projects.  Aggregate can be produced in many types, sizes, and specifications needed for Central Texas’ large variety of construction projects.

 

Coarse aggregate consist of the larger sized stone used in the used in the production of concrete and asphalt.  Coarse aggregates are also used for railroad ballast and many additional applications.

 

Fine Aggregate consist of the smaller sand sized particles.  These are generally used to fill in the gaps from the coarse aggregate and and ensure a strong quality product.  Fine aggregate is used to produce hot mix asphalt, ready mix concrete,  select backfill, and numerous other commercial and residential construction applications.

 

Our hot mix asphalt concrete (HMAC or HMA) is made by heating the asphalt binder to decrease its viscosity, and dry the aggregate. This process removes moisture from the material prior to mixing. See our HMAC in use on the region’s high-traffic pavements, including major highways and urban developments.

 

With sixteen locations in Central Texas, we are sure to have a location that can service your asphalt or aggregate project.  Texas Materials’ reputation is for superior quality, excellent service for all your construction and building materials needs.
