Aggregate Base Course (Coquina)
Applications & Uses
Aggregate Base Course with Coquina Attribute
Aggregate Base Course featuring coquina is a foundational construction material composed primarily of crushed limestone mixed with naturally occurring coquina shell fragments. Coquina, a soft, porous limestone formed from ancient shell deposits, adds unique properties to the base course, enhancing both its structural and aesthetic qualities.
The inclusion of coquina in the aggregate base course improves compaction and interlocking, making it an excellent choice for sub-base layers in roadways, driveways, parking lots, and walkways. Its natural shell content provides superior drainage compared to standard base materials, reducing the risk of water pooling and frost heave. This makes it especially suitable for coastal or high-moisture environments. While coquina aggregate base course offers improved drainage and a distinctive appearance, it may be less suitable for applications requiring maximum load-bearing capacity due to its softer composition. Overall, it is a versatile option for both residential and commercial projects where drainage and ease of compaction are priorities.
