01 — The material
Bulk fill material, excavated and hauled to grade.
Filling sand — also called dune sand or, in Arabic, Dafan — is a fine, lightweight fill. It often carries gatch, sabkha or other stone-type material found on demolition and excavation sites, and is used mainly to fill land, holes and low ground.
BHMK excavates, stockpiles and transports filling sand to or from your project across Dubai and Jebel Ali. We move it in our own tippers so you deal with one supplier from dig to drop.
Back-fill material removed from a site needs a Dubai Municipality sand-shifting permit before it can go to DM dumping yards — we handle that side too.

Landfilling, backfill, surface preparation and sub-layer build-up. It is a lightweight bulk fill that may contain gatch or sabkha.
