Filter Sand, Quartz Sand and Traction Sand for Bitlis and Its Districts
Bitlis, located on the western shore of Lake Van at the foothills of Nemrut and Süphan mountains, is one of Eastern Anatolia's characteristic provinces with its historic fabric and unique natural geography. The province, spread across seven districts, is increasing its economic diversity with agriculture, animal husbandry and a developing tourism sector. The regional logistics hub role of Tatvan, the cultural tourism potential of Ahlat, and the urban renewal projects of the city center are the main dynamics that diversify demand for different sand products. Say Quartz serves all districts of Bitlis with Kumsay Madencilik's 35 years of production experience.
Infrastructure and Construction Chemicals in Tatvan
Tatvan is the largest settlement on the western shore of Lake Van and the transportation hub of the region. Its logistical function as a railway connection, ferry line and road junction makes it the most active center of Bitlis in commercial and administrative terms. Urban renewal projects, new residential areas and commercial buildings in Tatvan create continuous demand for quartz sand as a raw material for construction chemicals.
Quartz sands used in the production of mortar, plaster, exterior cladding and tile grout materials are a component that directly affects the mechanical strength and aesthetic appearance of the structure. The product range offered in 12 different grain sizes from 100 microns to 32 millimeters responds to the requirements of different construction applications in Tatvan. Architectural molding sand is another product preferred for decorative exterior facade applications.
Tourism Infrastructure in Ahlat and Adilcevaz
Ahlat is home to one of Turkey's most important cultural heritage sites, with its Seljuk-era tombstones and mausoleums. As the number of visitors increases, accommodation facilities, restaurants and recreation areas are developing, creating demand for various sand products. Epoxy aggregate offers an aesthetic and durable solution for floor coverings in hotels and accommodation facilities, while playground sand is used to create safe surfaces in surrounding parks and children's playgrounds.
Adilcevaz is a district on the shores of Lake Van at the foothills of Süphan Mountain that is gradually increasing its tourism potential. Artificial turf sand is among the products preferred in sports facility projects in the district. Sand products for landscaping purposes are also needed in municipal park and public space arrangements.
Drinking Water Treatment and Filtration Solutions
Improving and maintaining drinking water quality throughout Bitlis is a priority municipal service. Treatment facilities in the city center, Güroymak and Hizan require regular filter media renewal at intervals. Filter sands are the primary material used in the mechanical filtration process to retain suspended solids, turbidity and coarse particles in water.
Say Quartz's 11 different filter sand varieties ranging from 0.4 millimeters to 32 millimeters allow the needs of different filtration layers and treatment capacities to be met from a single supplier. Filter sands in appropriate sizes are also supplied for small-scale treatment units serving rural areas in Mutki district.
In addition to filter sand, complementary filter media such as hydroanthracite, activated carbon and garnet are also offered as additional solutions that enhance the efficiency of treatment processes. Sourcing these products within the same supply chain creates both cost and time advantages for treatment facility operators.
Traction Sand: Essential for Winter Safety
Bitlis is one of Turkey's provinces receiving the heaviest snowfall. Ice formation on roads during winter months poses a serious threat to traffic safety. Traction sand is a mechanical intervention method that improves tire grip on icy and snowy road surfaces. Municipalities and highway regional directorates in the city center, Tatvan, Güroymak, Hizan and Mutki stock traction sand with bulk orders placed before the season.
The use of traction sand on critical routes such as the Bitlis-Tatvan highway and Bitlis Pass is an essential practice for maintaining uninterrupted transportation. Kumsay Madencilik, with a daily production capacity of 5,000 tons, is able to respond promptly to large-volume orders placed before the winter season.
