Aggregate Base Course (3/4″, Idot, Ca-51)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course, IDOT CA-51, 3/4" Size
Aggregate Base Course in the IDOT CA-51 specification and a 3/4" size range is a high-quality, crushed stone material engineered for use as a stable foundation layer in roadways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces. Produced by crushing and screening durable rock, this aggregate meets Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) standards, ensuring consistent gradation and performance.
The 3/4" size offers an optimal balance between compaction and drainage, making it ideal for supporting heavy loads while minimizing water retention. This size is less prone to shifting than larger aggregates and compacts tightly, providing a solid base for asphalt or concrete. Common applications include residential driveways, commercial parking areas, sidewalks, and as a subbase for highways. The IDOT CA-51 attribute guarantees reliable quality and compatibility with public infrastructure projects. While its angular shape promotes excellent interlock and stability, it may require mechanical compaction for best results.
