Fill Material for Foundation Applications

Fill material designated for foundation use is a versatile, gray aggregate commonly sourced from natural deposits or produced by crushing larger rocks. This material is specifically selected for its ability to provide a stable, compactable base, making it ideal for supporting building foundations and other structural elements.

The foundation attribute indicates that this fill material is engineered to deliver optimal load-bearing capacity and minimal settling over time. Its composition allows for efficient compaction, reducing the risk of voids and uneven settling that can compromise structural integrity. Typical applications include residential and commercial building pads, under-slab support, and backfilling around foundations. While not typically used for decorative purposes, its reliable performance and cost-effectiveness make it a staple in site preparation and construction projects.
