Aggregates
Aggregates are granular materials, such as rocks, sand, and gravel. Aggregates can range from the large railway ballast, supporting trains; to the small pebbles embedded in exposed aggregate concrete.
Aggregates are manufactured to very precise specifications determined by the customer’s tender documents. These products are not interchangeable with an aggregate material that do not meet specificatins.

Electrical Resistivity Rock
Electrical Resistivity is a vital property of any aggregate when high voltages or buried conductors exist. Electrical resistivity is a large factor when choosing an aggregate for sub stations, power generation plants, or even transmission lines.

Railway Ballast & Sub-Ballast
Railways are vital pieces of infrastructure around the world. They carry thousands of tonnes across vast distances every day. When building something so important, it is crucial that the aggregate meets the specification. FT Aggregates builds railway ballast and sub-ballast for some of Canada’s largest railway contractors.

Fractured and Screened Rock has many applications, everything from top dressing driveways to radon gas mitigation under the foundations of residential homes. FT Aggregates manufactures a variety of screened aggregate products, sorted by size and source material. Please note that fractured and screened rock will have a small amount of residual fines as it has not been through a wash plant.
Washed Round Rock
Washed round rock is a free draining aggregate that has been tumbled resulting in smooth rounded appearance. FT Aggregates offers a wide variety of sizes, colours, and mixed washed round aggregates.
