What is ECM Sand?

Environmental Containment Material (ECM) Sand is specially selected silica sand used in industrial construction and containment systems where material quality, chemical characteristics, and electrical resistivity are important.

ECM Sand is commonly specified for applications involving aboveground storage tanks, tank ringwall foundations, secondary containment systems, and protective bedding.

Properly specified sand helps provide a clean, uniform foundation material while minimizing the introduction of potentially corrosive contaminants.
