Filling Sand
Filling Sand
WHEN THE JOB NEEDS VOLUME.
Virtigo’s Filling Sand is mined directly from our Doornekraal operation near Malmesbury and supplied for filling, levelling, backfilling and general earthworks applications.
From individual requirements to large-volume projects, we combine our own material source with the transport capability to move it.
MINED BY VIRTIGO | DELIVERY | BULK SUPPLY
BUILT FOR THE GROUNDWORK.
Filling Sand is a practical material used where areas need to be filled, raised, levelled or prepared before the next stage of construction or earthworks can begin.
Sourced directly from our own mining operation, Virtigo’s Filling Sand is available for projects ranging from general site preparation to substantial bulk filling requirements.
OUR MATERIAL. OUR OPERATION. READY FOR THE JOB.
For engineered or specification-driven applications, the required material specification should be confirmed before ordering.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
SITE FILLING
Used for selected filling applications where areas need to be built up or prepared as part of construction and earthworks.
LEVELLING
Suitable for selected applications where uneven areas need to be filled and levelled before further work takes place.
BACKFILLING
Used for selected trench, excavation and general backfilling applications where suitable fill material is required.
RAISING GROUND LEVELS
A practical material option for selected projects requiring additional volume to raise or reshape existing ground levels.
GENERAL EARTHWORKS
Suitable for a range of selected construction, agricultural and general earthworks applications requiring bulk fill material.
SOME JOBS NEED MORE THAN A FEW LOADS.
THAT’S WHERE WE COME IN.
Filling projects can require substantial quantities of material, and reliable supply becomes just as important as the material itself.
With Filling Sand sourced directly from our own operation and our own transport capability behind it, Virtigo is positioned to support larger volumes, recurring loads and ongoing project requirements.
FROM OUR GROUND TO YOUR GROUND.
SITE FILLING | EARTHWORKS | BULK SUPPLY | PROJECT DELIVERY
STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE.
MINED BY VIRTIGO.
Our Filling Sand comes directly from Virtigo’s Doornekraal mining operation near Malmesbury.
Having our own material source gives us greater control over the supply chain and allows us to plan around both individual requirements and larger-volume projects.
MINE → STOCKPILE → WEIGH → LOAD → DELIVER
FEWER HANDOVERS. MORE CONTROL FROM SOURCE TO SITE.
FILLING SAND VS OTHER SANDS
WHICH SAND DO YOU NEED?
FILLING SAND
For selected filling, levelling, backfilling and general earthworks where bulk fill material is required.
BUILDING SAND
For general building and masonry applications where an appropriate building sand is required.
PLASTER SAND
A finer sand intended for plastering applications where workability and finish are important.
BEDDING / BLANKET SAND
For selected bedding and covering applications around underground services, pipes and cables.
NOT SURE?
TELL US WHAT YOU’RE DOING.
Our team can help you identify an appropriate material for the application.
For engineered works, send us the applicable specification.
VOLUME IS WHAT WE DO.
MATERIAL IS ONLY USEFUL IF YOU CAN MOVE IT.
Virtigo combines its own Filling Sand resource with its own heavy transport capability, allowing material supply and movement to be coordinated through one operational team.
Whether your project requires a few loads or ongoing bulk supply, talk to us about the quantity, location, programme and expected volumes.
MATERIAL + TRANSPORT = ONE SUPPLY SOLUTION
MINE → LOAD → TRANSPORT → SITE
THE MATERIAL IS ONLY PART OF THE JOB.
Depending on your project requirements, Virtigo can also assist with excavators, front-end loaders and other plant capability for selected earthworks and material-handling applications.

FROM THE MINE TO THE SITE.
DIRECT MATERIAL SOURCE
Our Filling Sand is sourced from our operation near Malmesbury.
DELIVERY
Virtigo can coordinate delivery using our own transport capability according to the quantity, location and project requirements.
BULK & ONGOING SUPPLY
For larger earthworks, construction and filling projects, talk to us about planned or recurring supply.
Own collection can also be arranged where required.
TONNES, CUBES & PROJECT VOLUMES.
Virtigo’s Filling Sand is sold by weight and loads are weighed using our on-site weighbridges.
Filling and earthworks quantities are often calculated in cubic metres (m³). If your project quantities are expressed in cubes, we can assist with an estimated conversion to tonnes for planning and quotation purposes.
Actual weight varies according to material density and moisture content, with the final quantity supplied determined by weighbridge weight.
HAVE YOUR FILL VOLUME IN m³?
NEED TO FILL IT? WE CAN MOVE THE VOLUME.
From site preparation and backfilling to larger earthworks requiring ongoing material supply, talk to Virtigo about the quantity, location and programme.
OUR MATERIAL. OUR TRANSPORT. REAL CAPABILITY.
