Frequently Asked Questions

Ask a Question
  • What areas do you service?

    Zappala Raw Materials provides a variety of raw materials for Port Douglas and its surrounds, including Cassowary and Craiglie. Contact us to confirm whether we service your specific location. 

  • What are scalps and how are they used in construction?

    Scalps are the by-product of quarrying, consisting of coarse material left over after the screening process. They are commonly used in construction projects for road base, pathways and under concrete slabs. Scalps are a cost-effective option for creating a stable, compactable base layer, particularly in areas that will be covered by other materials like asphalt or concrete. While they are not suitable for top layers or areas requiring fine materials, scalps provide a solid foundation that can support heavy loads.

  • Can scalps be used for drainage purposes?

    Scalps are not typically used for drainage systems as their coarse nature can compact and reduce water flow. However, they can be used as a base layer in areas where drainage is not a primary concern, such as driveways, car parks or under paving. For better drainage, materials like drainage gravel or screened sand are usually more suitable. If you’re unsure whether scalps are appropriate for your project, it’s a good idea to consult with a professional to determine the best material for your specific needs.

  • What is road base and why is it important in construction?

    Road base is a mixture of crushed rock, sand and other materials used as a foundation for roads, driveways and other hard surfaces. It provides a stable, compactable base that helps distribute weight evenly and prevent sinking or shifting over time. Road base is essential in creating durable, long-lasting surfaces that can withstand heavy traffic. It is commonly used in both residential and commercial projects and can also be used as a base for concrete slabs, pavers or other outdoor surfaces.
