Product Specifications
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, Spec 825B, 1.5" Minus
Aggregate Base Course (ABC) meeting Spec 825B in a 1.5" minus size range is a well-graded blend of crushed stone, gravel, and fines. This material is engineered to meet strict specifications for strength, durability, and compaction, making it a reliable foundation layer for a variety of construction projects.
The 1.5" minus grading means particles range from 1.5 inches down to fine dust, allowing for excellent compaction and load distribution. The inclusion of fines helps the material lock together, reducing voids and creating a stable, dense base. This makes it ideal for use under roads, driveways, parking lots, and concrete slabs in both residential and commercial settings. The Spec 825B attribute ensures consistent quality and performance, meeting regulatory requirements for public works and infrastructure projects. While the fines improve compaction, they can also reduce drainage compared to cleaner aggregates, so proper drainage design is recommended for optimal results.
