Aggregate Base Course (Cement)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course with Cement
Aggregate Base Course with cement is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone or gravel blended with a precise amount of cement. The addition of cement acts as a stabilizing agent, binding the aggregate particles together to create a stronger, more durable base layer. This process, known as soil-cement or cement-treated base, enhances load-bearing capacity and reduces the risk of shifting or rutting over time.
The cement attribute is especially valuable for projects requiring a stable, long-lasting foundation, such as roadways, parking lots, industrial yards, and heavy-duty driveways. It is also used beneath concrete slabs and pavements to minimize settlement and improve structural integrity. While the cement treatment increases strength and longevity, it can make the base less permeable, so it is best suited for applications where drainage is managed separately. Overall, Aggregate Base Course with cement offers superior performance for demanding commercial and residential projects where durability and stability are top priorities.
