Industrial Sand Supply for Eastern Anatolia's Metropolitan City
Erzurum, one of Turkey's provinces with the largest land area, is the administrative, commercial and educational center of Eastern Anatolia with its 20 districts. The historic fabric of Yakutiye, the winter tourism potential of Palandöken, the new residential areas in Aziziye and agricultural activity in surrounding districts shape the city's multi-layered sand needs. Say Quartz addresses the industrial sand demand of this vast geography from its production facility in Çorlu/Tekirdağ.
Winter Tourism Infrastructure and Construction Materials
Palandöken district is one of Turkey's most well-known winter tourism centers. Construction chemicals containing quartz sand are used intensively in the construction and renovation projects of hotels and accommodation facilities near the ski resort. Epoxy floor coatings are preferred in lobbies and restaurant areas as a solution that provides both aesthetics and durability.
Expanding residential areas growing westward from the city in Aziziye district continuously feed demand for building materials. Say Quartz's quartz sands in 12 different grain sizes offer suitable options for decorative plaster, exterior cladding and decorative applications in these projects.
Historic Fabric and Modern Construction in Yakutiye
Yakutiye district is Erzurum's historic center. Quartz sand is in demand in the restoration works carried out here and in new construction around historic buildings. Decorative plaster applications bring together traditional architecture and modern material technology.
Drinking Water Treatment and Filter Sand
The population of Erzurum's vast geography, spread across dispersed settlements, requires separate water treatment solutions for each settlement. Municipal treatment facilities in relatively populous districts such as Horasan, Pasinler and Aşkale operate with drinking water filter sand. Filter sands offered in 11 different types include products suited to the technical requirements of these facilities.
The development of agricultural irrigation infrastructure in Hınıs and Karaçoban districts has increased the sand needs in filtration systems. Water source treatment in the livestock-based economies of Tekman and Karayazı also requires filter sand. Rural drinking water projects in İspir and Tortum districts require filter sand and complementary products for compact treatment units.
Water Infrastructure in Oltu, Olur and Şenkaya
Municipalities in Erzurum's northeastern districts of Oltu, Olur and Şenkaya are renewing their water treatment infrastructure. Filter sand, Hydroanthracite and Activated Carbon are being supplied for the treatment facilities in these districts. Similar water infrastructure projects are also planned in Pazaryolu and Narman districts. Say Quartz offers the option of bulk shipments to these regions.
Transportation Network and Traction Sand
Erzurum's harsh climate conditions and extensive road network push traction sand consumption above the national average. In winter, the risk of icing is high on the Aşkale–Erzurum, Horasan–Ağrı and Tortum–Artvin routes. The highway directorate and district municipalities stockpile traction sand on all routes, including Köprüköy, Çat and Uzundere.
Traction sand is also applied on Erzurum's public transport lines and heavily used urban roads during the winter period. Say Quartz has the stock capacity to respond to seasonal demand spikes.
Sports Facilities and Recreation Areas
Erzurum is a province with a high proportion of young population due to its university city identity. Numerous artificial turf facilities are located in Yakutiye and Palandöken districts, and artificial turf infill sand is supplied for the surface fill of these facilities. Playground sand is used for children's play parks in new residential areas in Aziziye.
Similar sports facility investments continue in Oltu and Narman districts. Decorative quartz sand applications are also seen in landscaping around hotels in Palandöken as part of the winter tourism infrastructure.
Industry and Metal Processing
Silica sand and sandblasting sand are used in metalworking and machinery manufacturing facilities in Erzurum Organized Industrial Zone. Silica sands offered in 7 different granulometries meet the mold making requirements of the foundry sector. Regular silica sand supply is also made to small industrial sites in Pasinler district for metal surface treatment applications.
Say Quartz Assurance
Say Quartz, carrying Kumsay Madencilik's 35 years of industry knowledge, provides uninterrupted supply to all districts of Erzurum with a daily production capacity of 5,000 tonnes.
