Aggregates for Utility Works


Reliable Materials for Power, Water, Gas & Telecom Infrastructure 

Utility infrastructure projects demand high-performance aggregates for a range of applications, from cable and pipe bedding to trench backfill and surface reinstatement. At RedRox, we supply certified, durable aggregates specifically suited to gas, water, electricity, drainage and telecoms works. 

With access to quarried, recycled, and eco-friendly materials, and delivery across England, Scotland, and Wales, we support everything from local utility repairs to national framework contracts—day or night. 


Where Aggregates Are Used in Utility Projects:


Pipe & Cable Bedding

Supplied to Series 500 specifications, our pipe bedding materials (Type A, B, C) ensure proper support, protection, and compaction around buried services. 

Washed, single-size stone is often used for electric cables, water mains, and telecom ducts to aid drainage and heat dissipation. 

Trench Backfill

Backfill materials are used to stabilise and protect buried utilities. 

We offer options such as 6F2/6F5, recycled trench fill, and general fill to meet project specifications and budgets. 

Sub-base & Reinstatement

MOT Type 1, Type 3, and other sub-base aggregates are used in reinstating roads, footpaths, and verges after excavation. 

Materials meet Series 800 compliance and are available in both quarried and recycled formats. 

Specialist Aggregates

Cable sand (ENA TS 97-1 compliant) for HV cable bedding 

Eco sand and low-fertility materials for vegetation-sensitive areas 

Thermally conductive bedding for underground power installations 


Key Benefits of Aggregates in Utility Construction:
