Basalt Aggregate
Dense, high-strength basalt for demanding construction.
Our basalt is quarried from massive Omani lava flows and processed to precise gradings. High compressive strength, low absorption and excellent abrasion resistance make it a premium aggregate for infrastructure, railway ballast and asphalt.
