Sand Supply for Drinking Water Treatment and the Construction Sector in Bingöl
Bingöl, known for its natural beauty in Eastern Anatolia, is a province that stands out with its rich water resources, geothermal potential and developing infrastructure. Agriculture, animal husbandry and small-scale industrial activities form the basis of the economy across its geography spanning eight districts. Protecting the province's clean water sources and strengthening the drinking water infrastructure are among the priority topics for both the central government and local municipalities. Say Quartz supplies drinking water filter sand, quartz sand for construction chemicals and various industrial sand products to all districts of Bingöl.
Maintaining Drinking Water Quality with Filter Sand
Drinking water treatment facilities in the Bingöl city center must operate continuously to provide clean water to the city's growing population. Filter sands used in the mechanical filtration stage play a primary role in retaining suspended solids, turbidity and certain organic pollutants in water. Filter sands produced in 11 different types from 0.4 millimeters to 32 millimeters offer options suitable for different treatment capacities and filtration layers.
Genç district, as one of Bingöl's most populous districts, is a region where drinking water demand is intense. The filter media needs of treatment facilities must be met at regular intervals. In Solhan, the drinking water treatment infrastructure similarly requires periodic maintenance and filter renewal. Karlıova, with its high altitude and harsh winter conditions, is a district where the uninterrupted operation of filtration systems is essential; during periods that carry a risk of freezing, the efficiency of treatment facilities depends on the quality of filter media.
Complementary Filter Products
In drinking water treatment processes, complementary filter media such as hydroanthracite, activated carbon, garnet and basalt are also needed alongside filter sand. Sourcing these products from a single supplier simplifies the supply chain for treatment facility operators and facilitates inventory management. The wide product portfolio of Kumsay Madencilik has the variety to meet this need.
Construction Sector and Quartz Sand Use
In Bingöl, the post-earthquake reconstruction process has kept the construction sector lively for many years, and this process is still ongoing. Earthquake-resistant building design has put the quality of building materials at the forefront. Quartz sand used in construction chemicals is the fundamental raw material component that increases the mechanical strength of mortar, plaster and tile grout materials. Quartz sands offered in 12 different grain sizes from 100 microns to 32 millimeters respond to the requirements of different construction applications.
From housing projects in the city center to public buildings in Adaklı, from infrastructure works in Yayladere to road construction projects in Kiğı — quartz sand demand throughout Bingöl is fed from diverse sources. Small-scale construction activities and municipal infrastructure projects in Yedisu district also sustain the need for construction chemical raw materials.
Winter Conditions and Traction Sand
Bingöl's harsh continental climate causes icing and snow accumulation to be widespread on roads during winter months. Traction sand is a mechanical intervention method that increases tire grip on icy and snowy road surfaces to ensure vehicle safety. In high-altitude districts including Karlıova, Yedisu, Solhan and Kiğı, municipalities and highway regional directorates stock traction sand before the winter season. Say Quartz meets this need with bulk order advantages.
Sports Areas and Landscaping
Increased sports facility investments in Bingöl in recent years have brought with them demand for artificial turf sand. Artificial turf projects in the city center and Genç are the main areas of use for this product. In park arrangements and children's playgrounds, playground sand is a preferred material for creating safe surfaces.
