Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course for Airport Applications
Aggregate Base Course specified for airport use is a high-quality, well-graded blend of crushed stone and fines engineered to meet the rigorous demands of airfield construction. This material is produced by crushing durable rock to create a stable, compactable base layer that supports heavy loads and resists deformation under repeated aircraft traffic.
The "airport" attribute indicates that this aggregate base meets strict gradation, strength, and durability standards required for runways, taxiways, and aprons. Its composition ensures excellent load distribution, minimal settlement, and superior resistance to frost heave and water infiltration. Commonly used in both commercial and military airfields, this base course is also suitable for high-traffic roadways and industrial yards where maximum stability is essential. While it may be more costly and require precise installation compared to standard base materials, its performance and longevity make it the preferred choice for critical infrastructure projects.
