Difficulty: Easy

1. Decide the projects you are going to complete with ground iron slag concrete and measure the square footage and depth of the job, just as you would for cement. Make a listing of separate jobs, then add everything together and add a little extra for a complete order total.
2. Contact your current concrete and cement supply company to ask if they can sell slag to you. If they can, you may get a better deal and service by sticking with the same company. Relationships are important in the construction industry and should be maintained if at all possible.
3. Explore your options. If you are looking for an alternative way to buy slag. Tradekey has listings of importers and exports for many different kinds of slag, including ground iron and precious metals.
4. Purchase your ground iron slag through a rock company. They may have better deals and the ability to order higher quantities at a time. Most of the slag is from other countries, so you will need to purchase through a company who has it imported or pay for it to be imported if you purchase directly from a slag company.
