Aggregate Base Course (1.25″, Ballast)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course Ballast, 1.25" Size Range
Aggregate Base Course with a ballast attribute in a 1.25" size range is a durable, coarse construction material commonly used as a foundational layer in roadways, railways, and heavy-duty pavements. Produced by crushing and screening high-quality stone, this aggregate features angular particles that interlock for superior load distribution and stability.
The 1.25" size range is ideal for ballast applications, providing excellent drainage and resistance to shifting under heavy loads. Its larger, angular stones prevent movement and rutting, making it a preferred choice for railway track beds, road sub-bases, and large-scale commercial projects. While its coarse texture offers outstanding structural support and drainage, it is less suitable for areas requiring a smooth, compacted surface. Overall, this material is valued for its strength, longevity, and ability to withstand demanding conditions.
