Timely delivery of stone and aggregates keeps a project on schedule. These planning tips help avoid delays and wastage at site.
Stone and aggregates are needed in large quantities, often at specific stages of a project. A little planning makes deliveries smoother and avoids idle labour and machines.
Before ordering
- Work out quantities for each material and size from your drawings or estimates.
- Decide when each material is needed and in what lots.
- Share the exact site location and any timing restrictions.
At the site
- Keep a clear, firm access road for loaded trucks.
- Prepare a clean, level stacking area for each material.
- Have someone available to receive and check each load.
Checking deliveries
Match each load with its challan or weighbridge slip and check the material visually for size and cleanliness. Report any issue immediately so it can be sorted out quickly.
During the monsoon
Rain can affect access roads and loading. Keep some buffer stock at site before the rainy season and plan drainage around stockpiles.
