Start by stating whether the material is for concrete, asphalt, rail, drainage or fill. A quarry product is not automatically suitable for every application; compare grading and the project specification.
A useful inquiry states quantity, loading point, lot schedule, transport mode and discharge conditions. Agree how samples and current test reports will be reviewed before ordering.
What to include in the inquiry
- Application and governing project specification
- Required grading and fines limits
- Current test report and sample acceptance method
- Lot size, loading point and destination
