Aggregate Base Course (Commercial)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course for Commercial Applications
Aggregate Base Course, commonly referred to as ABC, is a foundational construction material composed of crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. Engineered for strength and stability, it forms the load-bearing layer beneath pavements, roads, and building foundations. The material is produced by mechanically crushing and screening raw aggregates to create a blend of various particle sizes, ensuring optimal compaction and load distribution.
Specified for commercial use, Aggregate Base Course is designed to meet higher performance standards, supporting heavy traffic and structural loads typical in commercial projects. Its well-graded composition allows for excellent compaction, minimizing voids and providing a stable, durable base. This makes it ideal for use under parking lots, roadways, industrial floors, and large-scale paving projects. The commercial-grade attribute ensures consistent quality and compliance with stringent engineering requirements, though it may be less suitable for decorative or residential landscaping due to its utilitarian appearance and coarse texture.
