1 Running out of sand?
Sand is currently indispensable in constructionworks. It is not only used in concrete, but it
is also the main component in mortar which
we use for plastering and nishing. For sand
to be usable, it must be clean and free from
corrosive minerals. Because of this, dredged
river sand has traditionally been the main
supply source. However, recent reports by
Mainland media on ready-mixed concrete
factories in Shenzhen using marine sand in
lieu of river sand for production suggeststhat our insatiable appetite for new buildings
is gradually exhausting this natural resource.
The use of (untreated) marine sand in
concrete raises the chlorine content leading
to corrosion of the embedded reinforcement
bars and weakening of the whole structure.
Such news brings back unpleasant memories
of the salt-water buildings that were built
in Hong Kong in the 1960s when contractors
added sea water to supplement fresh water
in mixing concrete. The corrosion in those
buildings became so severe that most of them
had to be demolished in the 1980s.
Guangdong Province has always been the
main source of river sand for Hong Kong. But
now that shortages are impacting their own
construction industry, what does this mean
for Hong Kong?
Sufcient and stable, for now .....
Almost all river sand used in Hong Kong is
imported from the Mainland and this is not the rst
time that Hong Kong has had to face shortages
in supply. In 2006, the Ministry of Commerce
and the General Administration of Customs in
the Mainland jointly announced an export ban
on river sand. The ban was eventually lifted in
early 2007 when the Mainland and Hong Kong
Trade Co-operation Mechanism on Natural Sandwas signed. This was under the framework of
the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic
Partnership Arrangement (CEPA).
This Mechanism has meant that the overall supply
since resumption has been sufcient and stable.
In June 2012, the Mechanism was updated and
further strengthened to ensure the supply of river
sand for Hong Kong's major construction projects.
But for how long .....
Supplies of river sand on the Mainland have
been shrinking each year due to accelerated
extraction to meet growing development demand.
Many local governments have imposed annual
quotas on river sand mining and many have had
to adjust such quotas downwards every year.
It is estimated that the total licensed volume of
river sand extraction can satisfy only half of thedemand of these regions themselves.
Guangdong Province, which used to have rich
sand reserves, is facing an even more difcult
situation. In 2012, the provinces strong economic
growth drove the annual demand for sand to an
estimated 100 million tonnes whilst licensed
mining volume could deliver only 14 million
tonnes.
Although Hong Kong needs only about 1.5 million
tonnes a year, it would be hard to ensure that
adequate supply can be maintained under such
circumstances. Even if supply can be maintained,
the cost of sand will be inated due to market
demand.
Why can't we use marine sand?
The use of marine sand in concrete mixes is in
fact permitted in the Mainland, provided that the

sand is washed and its chloride content reduced
to 0.06% or below, as per National Standard GB/T
14684-2011. Ready mixed concrete production
facilities in Guangdong can handle both river
and marine sands and Government Authorities
there do carry out regular inspections on sand
quality. The problem seems to lie in the fact that
so far there are no standards or Government
approved processes for desalination. Relying on
the inspection of sand samples as the only and
nal check point can be risky as there is always a
possibility that the samples are not representative
enough. Whether Hong Kong should consider
adopting marine sand as a substitute for river
sand, and how to exercise quality control on the
desalination process itself, should be a topic for
consideration.
Substitute to river sand
The industry in Hong Kong is fully aware of the
potential threat and has been progressively
shifting to substitutes as far as practicable.
Concrete production plants have been gradually
replacing river sand with crushed rock nes (CRF)
for years, without causing signicant variance in
prices. In 2012, the amount of river sand that
concrete plants consumed was markedly reduced
by 62%, bringing the overall consumption down
by 24%, comparing with that in 2008.
Consumption of Imported Natural Sand of Hong Kong
(Source: Civil Engineering and Development Department)
However, adopting crushed rock nes in mortar
mixes has not been practical, mainly due to its lower
cohesiveness and workability. As a result, mortar
mixes are still highly dependent on river sand.
Research has been conducted on manufactured
sand (i.e. factory-produced rock nes where
the shape of the nes can be rounded) as an
alternative for use in mortar. As certain properties
of manufactured sand, like grain texture and
water absorption rate, are not very similar to that
of river sand, its performance in cohesiveness
and workability in preliminary practical tests are
still not yet satisfactory. Although total substitution
of river sand by manufactured sand in mortar
applications is unlikely at this moment, there
are some situations, such as for oor screeds
or paving where cohesiveness is not so critical,
where it is being used. Results so far are
promising with further research in this eld.
Any options?
The cost of sand is insignicant when considered
as a proportion of overall construction works,
accounting for only HK$150 million out of the
HK$160 billion gross construction output in
2012 in Hong Kong. However, sand shortages
will directly affect many major work trades, like
concreting, bricklaying and plastering, making
them inoperable. Apart from using natural cousins
like crushed rock nes and manufactured sand,other forms of substitution, using alternative
technologies, have been researched.
One such option has been the adoption of
proprietary tile adhesive systems in lieu of
cement sand mortar. These systems are usually
pre-mixed and ready for mixing with water and
then laying. They may contain sand in the pre-mix
but the separate purchase of sand is eliminated.
For normal applications, it adds HK$30~50/m2 tothe unit costs of nishes, but the range of choices
is broader.

1 Running out of sand?
Other alternative materials under study include the
use of furnace bottom ash (FBA) generated from
the burning of coal for electricity and waste glass
as substitutes. Although FBA is a good substitute,
much of the available capacity has already been
taken up in the manufacture of cement and has a
market of its own. It is therefore not an economically
viable substitute.
Another possible substitute is waste glass. HongKong produces about 120,000 tonnes of waste
glass every year. A small proportion of this total
has been successfully used in the production
of precast paving blocks. Further support by
Government in promoting recycling technology
would likely increase its application and help to
ease the river sand shortage problem.

Explanatory Notes:
Data are published on a quarterly basis, measuring the year-on-year change in price level of each quarter, but the quarter-on-quarter change is notpublished, ie. the changes between consecutive quarters are not given.
To give an illustration of the price trend over time, Langdon & Seah (L&S) applies a hypothetical calculation to derive the data table and chart asabove, basing on the following understanding and assumptions:
1. Only indices from 1st Quarter 2003 and onwards are published.
2. For 2002 and before, indices were only published annually. This annual index indicates that the average uctuation of 2002 was moderate.Observation of our ofce further substantiates that the construction costs in 2002 were rather stable throughout quarters of the year.
3. On the basis of above, changes among quarters in 2002 are assumed to be evenly distributied throughout the year. This establishes a notionalrelationship among the 4 quarters in 2002 and allows the published data for 2003 to compare with to nd their notional quarter-on-quarterchanges.
4. For comparison purpose, 4th Quarter 2002 is referred as base and the base index as 100.
