Industrial Mineral Supply for the Industry and Construction Sector in Sakarya
Located at the eastern end of the Marmara Region, right in the middle of the Istanbul-Ankara axis, Sakarya is one of Turkey's strongest industrial provinces. In addition to heavy industry branches such as the automotive supply chain, metal foundry, machinery manufacturing and building materials production, the agriculture and tourism sectors also contribute to the provincial economy. Say Quartz offers fast and regular supply to Sakarya thanks to its close geographic proximity from its facilities in Tekirdağ Çorlu.
Foundry Sector in Adapazarı and Surrounding Districts
Adapazarı is the central district and industrial heart of Sakarya. Foundry facilities operating in organized industrial zones are the areas where silica sand and foundry sand are most heavily consumed. The fire resistance, thermal stability and particle size distribution of silica sand used in the preparation of casting molds directly determine product quality. Say Quartz's silica sands produced in 7 different granulometries (from 15-25 AFS to 70-80 AFS) meet the various requirements of foundry facilities in Adapazarı.
Erenler and Arifiye districts, adjacent to Adapazarı, are areas where industrial activities are concentrated. Sandblasting and surface preparation operations are frequently applied in the production of automotive supply chain components. Silica sands used in these operations are a critical raw material for cleaning metal surfaces and preparing them for painting.
Construction Sector in Serdivan and Sapanca
Serdivan, with Sakarya University campus and the surrounding residential development, is the fastest-growing district of the city. New housing projects, commercial centers and educational buildings continuously generate quartz sand demand. Quartz sands of different grain sizes are used in construction chemicals, grout filling materials and exterior facade rendering for these projects.
Sapanca district is Sakarya's tourism center with its lake and natural beauty. Quartz sand-based building materials are preferred in the construction of accommodation buildings such as hotels, thermal facilities and convention centers. Epoxy floor coatings are a common application at these facilities both in terms of aesthetics and durability. Say Quartz offers epoxy aggregate products in different granulometries.
Industrial Production in Hendek and Akyazı
Hendek is one of the important industrial districts in the east of Sakarya. In the district known for defense industry and fireworks production, metalworking and machinery manufacturing sectors are also active. Silica sands are regularly supplied for the sandblasting and surface cleaning needs of these facilities.
Akyazı district is known for agricultural machinery production and forest products industry. Sands used in surface processing in the furniture and wood sector are details that affect product quality. Manufacturing facilities in Akyazı also benefit from Say Quartz's product range.
Drinking Water Treatment Infrastructure
Although the province's water resources located in the Sakarya River basin are rich, treatment infrastructure is of vital importance due to intensive agricultural and industrial activities. Large-capacity treatment facilities in central districts such as Adapazarı, Serdivan and Erenler regularly obtain from Say Quartz's filter sands. Filter sands offered in 11 different types are produced in sizes appropriate for different treatment stages.
Irrigation water quality in Geyve and Pamukova districts is also kept under control through filtration. Filter sands, hydroantracite and activated carbon are used together in the treatment of water drawn from the Sakarya River in these areas. The drinking water networks of Ferizli and Söğütlü districts also need similar product groups.
Coastal Tourism in Karasu and Kocaali
Karasu is Sakarya's tourism district on the Black Sea coast. In the district that receives intensive visitors during summer months, beach arrangements, coastal facilities and accommodation buildings use quartz sand and epoxy aggregate. Playground sands meeting hygiene standards are supplied for children's play areas and parks.
Kocaali district is also located on the coastal strip and is a region where tourism-oriented construction is increasing. Artificial turf sand demand for artificial turf field facilities, sports complexes and recreation areas exists in both districts.
Infrastructure Projects in Kaynarca, Karapürçek and Taraklı
Kaynarca district is a region in the north of Sakarya where agriculture and livestock farming are predominant. Filter sands are used in the modernization of drinking water networks and the installation of new treatment facilities. Municipal infrastructure projects in Karapürçek district also generate similar product needs.
Taraklı is Sakarya's cultural heritage district with its historical character preserving Ottoman architecture. Quartz sands are also among the special building materials used in restoration projects. Grain size and purity level are determining factors in such sensitive work.
Railway Infrastructure and Traction Sand
Sakarya is on the route of the Istanbul-Ankara high-speed rail line. Traction sand is used against icing risk on railway lines passing through Arifiye and Pamukova districts during winter. Say Quartz supplies traction sand suitable for the technical requirements of the railway sector.
