How to stack sand, metal, dust, grit and bricks on construction site?


Stacking of sand, metal, dust, grit


  • All these materials should be stacked separately.

  • Avoid excess load by unloading the truck at a minimum distance from the workplace.

  • Dust and grit should be unloaded near the block making machine.

  • A base surface of Shahabad flooring of 7.5 cm (3”) P.C.C. laid in leveled surface should be prepared to unload all these materials to avoid any possible direct contact of materials with the soil.

  • Proper access road should be provided upto the stacking place.





Stacking of bricks

  • While unloading the truck, bricks should not be thrown.

  • They should be stacked systematically for easy use and counting.

  • They should be unloaded on a fairly levelled ground.

  • The stacking place should be located so that the debris/scrap thrown from the building does not fall on the bricks below.
