For information on dumping rubble at RDM (Timberland depot) please contact RDM Enterprises at 604 530-6310. RDM processes the rubble into a saleable product, which Mainland then markets and sells through the Timberland Road depot. Poorly graded gravel, sandy gravel, with little or no fines: GP: 5.00E-04: 5.00E-02 1, Silty gravels, silty sandy gravels: GM: 5.00E-08: 5.00E-06 1, Alluvial sand and gravel (GM) 4.00E-04: 4.00E-03 2&3 in 4 Clayey gravels, clayey sandy gravels: GC: 5.00E-09: 5. 5 Road depot at 604 271-2555.Īdjacent to the Timberland Road depot is a concrete and asphalt rubble dump operated by RDM Enterprises. For more information please contact the No. The depot accepts concrete and asphalt rubble for a tipping fee with the condition that the rubble is free from contaminants, including but not limited to rebar/steel, dirt, wood, or other construction waste. Mainland maintains and manages a concrete and asphalt recycling operation at the No. Currently, Mainland does not separate the concrete and asphalt rubble into separate finished products, preferring to blend the two materials together. Reusing concrete and asphalt rubble from demolition and re-paving projects helps keep these materials from filling up our landfills. Landscape gravel also comes in natural brown color to better blend in with surrounding dirt, plants and foliage, with pebbles being smaller than general-purpose pebbles. River sand has a very uniform gradation which makes it ideal as a grass growing medium. All-purpose gravel works for landscaping, filtering and other household jobs, but landscape gravel tends to regulate plant and garden spaces more effectively. River sand is also uniquely suitable for the use in construction of grass sports fields and/or top dressing of grass fields, golf courses and lawns. This weight advantage adds up to big savings by reducing the number of tonnes required to achieve a certain volume. When compared to other sand products, like bank sand or pit sand, river sand holds a 10-20 percent weight advantage. The primary use for river sand is for pre-loading because of its relatively light weight per cubic metre. Mainland has two locations where river sand is deposited each year: No.5 Road depot and Timberland Road depot. A portion of the material removed from the shipping channel is river sand suitable for use in the construction market. The annual dredging program is essential for both maintaining shipping channels and reducing the risk of flood to communities along the Fraser River. The dredging is necessary due to the sediment deposited each year during spring runoff. Each dredging season (June 15 through March 1) the Port of Vancouver dredges approximately 2 million cubic metres of material to maintain the shipping channel of the Fraser River between Richmond and Surrey. River sand is a material produced by dredging the Fraser River.
