Industrial Mineral Supply in the Hazelnut Capital of the Black Sea
Located at the western gateway of the Eastern Black Sea, Ordu exhibits a multi-layered economic structure with its leadership in hazelnut production alongside its developing industrial infrastructure, port activities and tourism potential. The metropolitan province covers a vast geography spanning from the coastal strip to inland areas with its 19 districts. Say Quartz delivers quartz sand, silica sand and filter sand products to every corner of Ordu from its facilities in Tekirdağ Çorlu.
Urban Development and Building Materials in Altınordu
Altınordu, the central district of Ordu, forms the administrative, commercial and cultural heart of the city. Urban renewal projects and coastal development in recent years have kept demand for the construction sector continuously high. Quartz sand is used in various areas in these projects, from construction chemicals production to floor coverings. Different grain sizes of quartz sands are required for grout filling materials, plaster mixtures and exterior facade rendering.
Gülyalı district, adjacent to Altınordu, forms the expansion axis of the city in the westward direction. The trend of quartz sand demand for rendering sand and construction-related quartz sands for new residential areas and commercial buildings is on the rise in this region.
Fatsa and Ünye: Industrial and Port Areas
Fatsa, as one of Ordu's most populous districts, is a center where trade and industrial activities are concentrated. Silica sand is regularly supplied to the manufacturing facilities in the district for sandblasting and surface preparation operations. Surface preparation work in metalworking workshops and shipyard activities requires silica sands of different AFS values. Say Quartz's silica sands produced in 7 different granulometries are capable of meeting this diversity.
Ünye is a district located to the west of Ordu that stands out with industrial investments. The cement factory in Ünye and the surrounding industrial facilities are the main actors determining the region's silica sand and quartz sand demand. Logistic connections can also be established by sea to Ünye, which has port infrastructure.
Drinking Water Treatment and Hazelnut Processing Facilities
Water quality in all districts of Ordu is one of the main agenda items of municipal services. Water treatment facilities in every district from Altınordu to Perşembe, and from Korgan to Kumru, need filter sands. Say Quartz's filter sands produced in 11 different types meet the needs of these facilities in sizes ranging from 0.4 mm to 32 mm.
Washing and filtration systems used in hazelnut processing facilities also benefit from filter sands. In districts such as Çaybaşı, Çatalpınar and Çamaş where hazelnut production is intensive, the water treatment units of processing facilities require regular maintenance and filter renewals. Complementary filter products such as hydroantracite and activated carbon are also used in these processes.
Infrastructure Work in Gölköy, Mesudiye and Inland Districts
The inland districts of Ordu — Gölköy, Mesudiye and Aybastı — are known for their mountainous terrain. Road construction work, bridge constructions and tunnel projects continue constantly in these areas. Quartz sand-based construction chemicals are used as binding materials in reinforced concrete structures and road surfacing.
Akkuş district is one of Ordu's highest altitude settlement areas. In these areas where winter conditions are harsh, durable building materials are needed for infrastructure projects. In Kabadüz and Kabataş districts as well, quartz sands are preferred for construction chemicals suited to similar climatic conditions.
Tourism and Recreation Areas in Coastal Districts
Perşembe district is the tourism face of Ordu with Yason Cape and its natural coves. Sands of different granulometries are used in the construction of coastal landscaping, walking trails and beach facilities. Special sands meeting hygiene standards for children's play areas ensure the creation of safe spaces in tourist areas.
The number of artificial turf field facilities throughout Ordu increases every year. There is a need for artificial turf sand in many districts, especially Altınordu, Fatsa, Ünye and Korgan. Say Quartz offers artificial turf sand in appropriate grain sizes and washed form. New sports facility projects are also being planned in Gürgentepe and İkizce districts.
Tourism Investments Around Ulubey Canyon
Ulubey district has international tourism potential with Ulubey Canyon, known as the world's second longest canyon. The tourism infrastructure around the canyon — accommodation facilities, visitor centers and walking trails — requires quartz sand-based building materials. Epoxy floor coatings provide both aesthetics and durability at these facilities.
Municipal Services and Winter Safety
Heavy snowfall and icing occur during winter months in the inland districts of Ordu. Municipalities try to ensure safe transportation conditions by using traction sand on roads and pedestrian crossings. Traction sand consumption increases noticeably during the winter season in districts such as Kumru, Çamaş and Çatalpınar.
Filter sands and quartz sands for construction chemicals are also used in municipal infrastructure projects in Saraydüzü and İkizce districts. Say Quartz also offers technical support and product consultancy services for such public projects.
