Just how valuable is the aggregates industry to South Carolina? The fact is, everything we consume on a daily basis is either grown or mined.
Therefore, consider this: South Carolina produces about 45 million tons of aggregate material (sand and gravel, crushed stone, and crushed concrete) annually. These materials are used for construction, road pavement, concrete products water filtration, golf courses, roofing material and many other uses.
South Carolina’s aggregates industry also employs almost 2,500 highly skilled men and women.
“We appreciate the work of the SCAA to encourage business growth for the aggregates construction materials industries.”
Duane Artz, Unified Screening & Crushing
