Industrial Sand Supply in the Black Sea's Hazelnut Capital
Giresun, one of the important coastal cities of the Eastern Black Sea, stands out beyond its role as the center of hazelnut farming with its growing construction sector and infrastructure investments. Construction activity along the coastal strip from the central district to Bulancak, from Görele to Tirebolu, and infrastructure projects in interior areas such as Şebinkarahisar and Alucra keep demand for quality industrial sand continuously active.
Construction Sector and Quartz Sand
Ongoing housing and commercial construction projects along the coastline in central Giresun are increasing demand for construction chemicals containing quartz sand. Say Quartz's quartz sands in 12 different grain sizes are used in exterior cladding, grout fill and floor screed applications.
Bulancak district, as Giresun's most populous district, is an area with intensive construction activity. In coastal construction areas in Espiye and Görele, quartz sand is in demand for decorative plaster and epoxy floor coating applications. Similar construction material needs also exist in Eynesil and Piraziz districts.
Construction in Tirebolu and Keşap
Tirebolu district, known for its historic castle, is a settlement with high tourism potential. Decorative quartz sand applications are preferred in hotel and accommodation facility projects there. In Keşap district, construction chemicals are consumed for commercial buildings along the main road route.
Drinking Water and Agricultural Water Treatment
Giresun's mountainous geography requires separate water treatment solutions for each dispersed settlement. Drinking water filter sand is regularly renewed at municipal treatment facilities in the central district and Bulancak. Say Quartz's filter sands, offered in 11 different types, are used at different filtration stages in these facilities.
Rural drinking water systems in Dereli and Yağlıdere districts, fed by stream beds, operate through compact treatment units. In these units, filter sand is the essential material ensuring the clarity and potability standard of the water. Small-scale treatment facilities in Çamoluk and Çanakçı districts similarly require filter sand.
Filter sand is also used in the process water treatment of hazelnut processing facilities in Doğankent and Güce districts. Say Quartz can supply complementary products such as Hydroanthracite and Activated Carbon in addition to filter sands.
Hazelnut Sector and Industrial Use
The hazelnut sector, the backbone of the Giresun economy, consumes various industrial materials in processing facilities. Sandblasting sand is used for the maintenance and surface cleaning of metal equipment, while construction chemicals are used in the construction of hazelnut drying and storage facilities. Similar material needs are also met in agricultural enterprises in Alucra and Şebinkarahisar districts.
Sports Facilities and Public Spaces
Artificial turf facilities and children's play areas feature among municipal investments across all of Giresun's districts. Say Quartz artificial turf infill sand is a quality fill material that enhances the performance of synthetic grass surfaces. Playground sand is produced in compliance with hygiene and certification standards for child safety.
Traction sand use is common on the Şebinkarahisar–Alucra route, where Black Sea climate winter conditions threaten road safety, and on roads in the mountainous interior.
