FA-2 #2 Torpedo Sand

Torpedo Sand

Torpedo sand is a coarse, washed sand with larger, angular particles that provide excellent drainage and compaction properties. It is commonly used as a base material for pavers, concrete, and road construction, as well as for backfilling trenches and improving soil drainage. Due to its gritty texture and stability, torpedo sand is ideal for areas requiring strong support while allowing water to filter through efficiently. It is also used in mixing concrete and for traction on icy surfaces during winter.

Coverage per Ton

One ton of torpedo sand typically covers approximately:

• 100-120 square feet at a 2-inch depth
• 65-80 square feet at a 3-inch depth

Coverage may vary depending on compaction and specific project requirements.

pavers, concrete, and road construction, as well as for backfilling trenches and improving overall soil drainage.

This versatile aggregate is commonly used as:

• A base layer for patios, walkways, driveways, and retaining walls
• Drainage sand around foundations, French drains, and utility lines
• A component in concrete mixes for added strength and stability
• Traction sand on icy or snowy surfaces during winter

Because it compacts well while still allowing water to filter through efficiently, torpedo sand is ideal for high-traffic areas that require strong support and reliable drainage, making it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects.

Coverage per Ton

One ton of torpedo sand typically covers approximately:

• 100–120 square feet at a 2-inch depth
• 65–80 square feet at a 3-inch depth

Actual coverage may vary depending on compaction, subgrade conditions, and specific project requirements. For best results, factor in a little extra material to account for settling and grading adjustments.
