Granite is a hard, dense rock valued for its strength and durability. We quarry it in Ogun State, crush it to the sizes you need, and supply it across the region.
The stone
Granite is an igneous rock, formed when molten rock cools slowly deep underground. It is made of interlocking crystals, mainly quartz and feldspar, often with mica.
That structure makes it hard, dense and resistant to weathering. It is why granite holds up under heavy loads, traffic and harsh conditions.
Key properties
Interlocking crystals give granite high crushing strength, so it carries heavy loads.
It resists weathering and wear, so it lasts in demanding conditions.
Crushed granite has sharp faces that lock together, which makes stable layers under roads and rail.
Uses
Strong, durable stone for structural concrete.
Used in road bases and surfacing, where it resists wear from traffic.
The angular stone that supports railway tracks and lets water drain away.
Placed around pipes and in drains, where water has to pass through stone.
Larger stone protects riverbanks, coastlines and embankments.
Used under foundations, behind retaining walls and in landscaping.
