Aggregate Base Course (3/8″, Idot, Ca-70)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course - IDOT CA-70, 3/8" Size
Aggregate Base Course with the IDOT CA-70 specification in a 3/8" size is a high-quality crushed stone blend designed for use as a stable foundation layer in construction projects. Manufactured by crushing and screening durable stone, this material meets Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) standards, ensuring consistent gradation and performance.
The 3/8" size offers a fine, compactable texture that provides excellent load-bearing capacity and stability, making it ideal for use beneath pavements, driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Its smaller particle size allows for tighter compaction, reducing voids and creating a solid base that resists shifting and settling. The CA-70 attribute ensures the material is well-graded, promoting optimal drainage while maintaining structural integrity. This aggregate is favored for both residential and commercial applications where a reliable, long-lasting base is essential. While its fine size enhances compaction, it may not be suitable for applications requiring rapid drainage or larger void spaces.
